Controlling the GhostCast session from the server

To create an image file using the GhostCast Server and command-line options

1. On the GhostCast Server, start a GhostCast session to create an image file.

2. Click More Options.

3. In the Disk No. box, type the disk number.

4. In the Partition No. box, type the partition number if you are creating an image of a partition.

   The client clone command appears in the Command line box.

5. Add other switches to the command line to execute specific command-line options on the client computer, if required.

   For example, if the initial command is:

   -clone,mode=pcreate,src=2,dst=@mcSessionNm

   Add the following switches to avoid prompts and restart the client computer after the image has been extracted:

   -clone,mode=pcreate,src=2,dst=@mcSessionNm -sure -rb

   Only use the -sure switch when you are certain that you are writing from the intended disk or partition.

6. Click Accept Clients to accept the client computer into the session.

7. Start the client computers in DOS.

8. Run Ghost.exe using the -ja switch to log on to the GhostCast session from the command line:

   ghost.exe -ja=SessionNm

9. Confirm your choices on the client computers if the -sure switch was not used.
