Issue/Introduction

 

Resolution

Ghost Solution Suite is one of the industry's most widely used imaging and migration solution. Up to now, one of the features that the product has been lacking when compared to  Deployment Solution 6.9 or 7.1, is the possibility to perform a Scripted OS Installation with predefined batch jobs.

The attached document outlines the procedure to PXE boot a bare metal machine and  kick off a scripted OS installation of Windows 7, by simply applying a Task from the Symantec Ghost Console.  Please note that this document is provided "as is" for your convenience. Symantec Technical Support won't be able to assist with this procedure. 

For a quick overview of the Scripted OS Install vs. Imaging process, you can watch this video on our forum:
