The type of server is going to be of great importance. If you are planning to do this with a Domain Controller - just don't. It's not worth the trouble, and is technically not a sound practice.
If you are talking about a member server, are you thinking of imaging just the base build and then applying a restore over that for the data? As to some of the specifics you ask for Ghost.... I dunno. I don't use it, so I can't answer the questions about DHCP for Ghost, or a 'cast server'. Maybe others can help on some of the other specifics. However, I think there is more info needed on what TYPE of systems and types of images you want to capture, etc. Rick -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ravi Dogra Sent: Wednesday, June 08, 2005 7:13 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] Server Image Pushing Using Ghost Cast Server and DHCP Hi All, I have a question? Can i have an ghost image for my server and if in a situation of server crash i can rebuild it using ghost image. But this all is to be done remotely, so i dont have any physical access to the server. Can i have another server configured as dhcp so that i can run this image through PXE boot. and the some how i can run ghost cast server to push image to this machine. I am a little confused. But i am sure if it works than recovering a server will be less time consuming job for me. I have this as a backup option which i have to plan for our new site. -- DR List info : http://www.activedir.org/List.aspx List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/ListFAQ.aspx List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/ List info : http://www.activedir.org/List.aspx List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/ListFAQ.aspx List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/
