Subject: [THIN] Server cloning problem with ghost?



We are cloning citrix XP FP2/SP3 servers on windows 2000 SP3/SP4 servers.
Servers are compaq DL 380 G1 and G3 (not sure about the first one). Full
disk images where made with ghost 7 and ghost multicast server. We used the
switches -buffersize=8 -fdsp while making the image. Upon restore the client
stops loading the image at 25% to 30%.

With ghost 8.* the image dump compleets but drive mapping is lost?!? The
server won't let anyone login when remapping is broken. Is there a way to
fix this or make ghost images that work? I always thought that using -fdsp
solved the remapping problem?

We based our restore procedure on backup & restore with ghost. The citrix
servers are not backuped in the daily backup plan.

Tia,
