As for the rest, as long as it works in your organization there is no need to change because of what some dude on the internet says. From personal experience continuing to update a single golden image renders the image very messy and a bit bloated over time. But if it works for you, then there is no need to change.

Don’t get me wrong- I know that’s not an optimal way to work long term and we’re working on other solutions. I’m not disagreeing with that, I just don’t think there’s an actual problem with the MFT specifically. I’m not an expert on imaging or NTSF by any means though, so I could be wrong. I’m not trying to be hostile, I just want to understand since the MFT seems well below normal tolerance for Windows.

@george1421 Thanks again for the help. This is probably where I’ll have to put a pin in this for now, because we restored the original sever and the duplicate server has been shut down for the time being. Hopefully we can circle back around to it soon, though.

Thanks for the quick response and I 100% understand if we have to wait for logs to continue troubleshooting.

Yeah sorry, can’t help you much without the partition layout files mentioned. Meanwhile can you take a picture of the error on screen and post that here. Just for reference. Sometimes there is something hidden in the screen that might help as well.

You are right, it’s kinda strange this has worked before and now you get this error. Unfortunately my crystal ball runs out of energy… 😉

I’m hoping to get access soon but technically I’m a temp right now so not sure.

FOG is a hands on tool. Without access to the server via SSH your hands are pretty much tied up.
