You have a slow connection and use Automation Folders to boot systems into Winpe. Is there a method to deploy an image directly on the endpoint without deploying it over the network?
Deployment Solution
Instructions to add image file(s) to Automation Folder:
When it comes to imaging have the endpoint boot to the automation folder then run a script task to call ghost and deploy the image ( do not use imaging task )
Example command to image the endpoint
x:\imaging\ghost\x64\ghost64.exe -sure -clone,MODE=restore,DST=1,SRC=x:\path to image\imagename.gho
Your deploy image job will look like this:
NOTE: you will need enough RAM to run the Winpe environment and the image files ( boot.wim file size +10% )
