The Network ghost has a very high aging rate in a large number of systems. If there are no unexpected situations, it can be completed in half a day. It is usually used for the installation and maintenance of clients in the computer networks of schools, Internet cafes, and enterprises.
　

　　I. Preparations

First, install the server. Windows server is recommended for the operating system. (Win2003 server is also available, as long as it comes with the dhcp service .) Configure dhcp. Since ghost is introduced here, we will not discuss how to configure DHCP. For detailed configuration, refer to articles related to Skynet. (Click here to search for the article about DHCP) then do a good job of the client system, install the corresponding software, this machine is the source disk for ghost, also known as the master disk. This system must be well done, otherwise everything will be done.

In addition, I have a small suggestion that you do not need to configure an IP address for the NIC. Otherwise, when the ghost is finished, you must press the Enter key dozens of times when the IP address conflict occurs. We are suffering this loss. Pai_^

Ii. Installation of ghost Network

TIPS: Generally, "ghost Network" only extracts some features of ghostenterprise edition. The network function of ghostenterprise edition is very powerful. It is the "ghost Network Version" in the true sense ". It is identified as Symantec Ghost, which is different from Norton Ghost for individual users.

For ghost online installation, you can modify the configuration file and add a parameter after the command line when operating on the client. However, based on our past work experience, this is a waste of time. Because each client needs to manually execute the command, add parameters, and the parameters of each client are different, it is easy to remember.

The best case is that you can directly start the ghost program without entering any command. The premise is that the IP address can be automatically obtained at startup. Therefore, a computer in the network must execute the DHCP function. The most convenient is a SERVER version SERVER. Then you can install the ghost online server on this computer. (Of course, it does not mean that the network version of ghost must be installed on the computer of the DHCP server. You can install the ghost online server on any machine in the network)

After the preparation is complete, you can start to install the ghost server. We installed ghost 7.0 Enterprise Edition.

The installation is very simple. You can simply click "Next.

Click next. (See Figure 1)

In the installation mode, select the first option, that is, "console" (see Figure 2)

Some installation information. Including username, email address, and serial number (see figure 3)

You can install components without changing them by default. (See figure 4)

The user name and password of the console. You do not need to change the password. Keep the default password. (See figure 5)

Click "install" to start installation. (See figure 6)

Installation is complete. (See figure 7)

3. Create a client boot disk

The server is ready and the client is ready. First, create the boot disk of the client.

Click Start, program, Symantec Ghost, and Ghost Boot Wizard ". This is the client boot disk creation wizard (see figure 8)

Click "Network Boot Disk" in the first item ". (See figure 9)

The NIC selection prompt box appears. You can select your network card model based on your network card. We will take the commonly used 8139 network card as an example to describe it. The 7.0 version does not contain the 8139 NIC Driver. We need to add it ourselves. Click "Add" on the left. (See figure 10)

If the NIC Driver type is selected, select Packet Driver ". (See figure 11)

Select the DOS driver of the 8139 Nic, select "RTSPKT. COM", and click "open ". (See figure 12)

Return to the property prompt box. In "Parameters", enter "0x60", which is the Soft Interrupt number of the 8139 Nic. Note: It is the number 0 plus the letter X followed by the number 60. The following option "Multicasting Mode" is generally not required. Use the default setting. Click "OK ". (See figure 13)

In this way, a new Nic model is created. You can rename it. For example, change to 8139 for easy confirmation. Click "Next ". (See Figure 14)

Client type, no need to change, just "Next. (See Figure 15)

For the network settings of the client, we use the DHCP server to assign an IP address. So you don't need to change it. Click "Next ". (See figure 16)

Next, you can choose the software drive in which the boot disk is created and how many pieces of information are made. After everything is set, you can start to create the boot disk. We will use the ready boot disk soon.
