Clients started to image using Ghostcast when they are not supposed to.

Products

• Ghost Solution Suite

Issue/Introduction

You sent a Distribute Disk Image job with the Ghostcast method to a group of computers. Some of the computers were inactive and showed the status of "Sending wake on lan". The other active computers went to WinPE, got imaged, and came back to the production environment. Ghostcast UI as well as the Ghostsrv.exe application were both terminated at this point. After a while, when the inactive computers became active in the console, they booted to WinPE and started to image. On the server, there was not a Ghostcast UI and only the Ghostsrv.exe application was running which could be seen in the task manager.

Environment

GSS 3.x

Resolution

Workaround: Only image the computers that are active in the console and make sure that you assign the imaging to the computers which you intend to be imaged.
