Has anyone successfully imaged Citrix Presentation Server 3.0 as opposed
to Xp FR3 or below? We are changing from FR3 to Presentation server and
would really like to image the 16 servers but all documentation that I
have found (and linked below) is for FR3.

The Powerquest (now Symantec) product referred to is V2i Protector for
Server asnd Workstations.

Bit pricey but does its job nicely.

 

BTW Ghost works fine with Compaq/HP Raid controllers althought they dont
support it.

We use it pretty frequently when we dont deploy using the HP RDP.

Ghost technically does not support Raid arrays (although I think
sometimes you can make it work). However I noticed a product by
PowerQuest (now owned by Symantec) that makes images within the Windows
GUI and allows for scheduling images. I think this would have a better
chance of working on RAID systems and they have a server edition. Sorry
I can't recall the name right now...but if you search you will find it.

Subject: [THIN] Ghosting a production Metaframe server

 

Hello all,

 

I know this question has been beaten to death, but I have been off the
list for a while and am a little behind.  I am in the midst of ghosting
a production Windows Server 2003 Metaframe XP FR3 server to a new HP
DL380.  Can anyone point me to white papers assisting with this?  I
don't know if this is possible with the server drives already remapped
and could use a little direction.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Jesse Korn
