We want to establish the best practice regarding deploying Ghost Solution Suite across multiple locations with relatively slow network links between them.
Lets say that you have a corporate office that has computers to image locally but is also responsible for imaging computers at several remote sites. These remote sites have links that are adequate for management traffic, but would not be optimal for streaming entire system image files across.
You have the server, database, and file shares with all of your image files located in the corporate office. What is the best way to have duplicate copies of the image files local at the sites so that you can initiate the image process for all the sites from a central console, but specify that the image for each system will come from a local storage repository or ghost server.
1. Is this possible? If so, is there a doc anywhere on how to configure it this way?
2. If it is possible, does it include an automated function to deliver the image file 1 time when it is created to the remote sites, or would you have to manually copy the image file to each of these servers or set up some sort of file synchronization tool?
Thanks very much in advance for your insight.
