Is it possible to ghost a machine with MetaFrame loaded?  What do you have
to do afterward to get it working?

  When applying a ghost image of a system with re-mapped drives to a new
system you need to load ghost on the machine that's going to receive the
image with the FDSP switch. (file disk signature preserve)



  "ghost.exe -fdsp"



  Works fine from ghost version 7.0 and higher.

  I thought that it was not possible to ghost a server which had had its
drives remapped?

    Absolutely.  This is the DR method of choice for me since it's quick and
easy.

    chaps,



    are you able to ghost a complete server, i.e. with Citrix installed and
drives remapped.. and apps installed??

      The only problem I've ever had with Ghost is using it on a partition
basis.  I've better 100% success generating images by drive rather than by
partition.



      You're mileage may vary...

      No problems to date.

      I don't bother backing up any of our MF servers as yet, don't see the
point.

      I want to create an image for them though so I can rebuild them
quicker.

      What products are people using for this ???

      Thanks,

      Steve
