That Did it!!! The intial results have been really impressive. Today we imaged our high School (Classrooms), which is approx. 80 machines… Normally we use to use Novell Zenworks to image them and it would take practically 1 whole day to image (at least 4-6 hours) and we would come in the next day and join them to the domain. Well im pleased to say that we started this morning at 9am, and completed the last computer (we dont have the fog service setup yet) we joined the last computer to the domain at 3:30PM. All of the machines loaded up fine with no Kernel downloading slow, and the Storage Node happily pumped images out to 10 machines at a time with everyone taking roughly 25-30 minutes to complete each. We even had to re-queue a couple computers due to Sysprep failing to process the unattend file, I assume this happens due to a network glitch pushing it to it or hardware glitch on the end station, usually a second image to it and it works rarely have I had to do it a thrid time, I end up switching patch cords and that fixes it.
Do I dare increase the amount of machines imaging at one time or I do have another decomissioned G5 I could use if I wanted… This is our largest building so the others shouldnt have any issues at all with time, I just figured for planning in the future to do 20 at a time would speed things up tremendously.
Definitly thanks for the advice, best product around![/quote]
Same experience here. We use ZENWorks for other functions, but dropped it for imaging purposes as soon as we found FOG!
