Symantec Ghostcast Server 11.5 works with Ghost.exe to create an image file of a model computer or restore an image file onto a number of client computers[^5^]. The Ghostcast Server is typically run on the machine where the images are located. A session
is created and named, and then is set to a ready state to accept clients. The session name acts as a key and identifies the session for the clients to join[^7^].

Client machines are then booted with boot media containing the Ghost executable to run in a preboot environment. After machines are booted, they are told to join the multicast session. Once all participating clients are joined, the session is started at
the Ghostcast Server. The Ghostcast Server then broadcasts the image file to the joined clients[^6^].

This method of image deployment is reliable, efficient and scalable. It is an alternative to using the Ghost Solution Suite 3 console, which offers more features but also requires more setup and management. Symantec Ghostcast Server 11.5 is a great
solution for imaging administrators who prefer a simple and straightforward approach.
How to Use Symantec Ghostcast Server 11.5: A Step-by-Step Guide
In this section, we will provide a step-by-step guide on how to use Symantec Ghostcast Server 11.5 to create and restore images using multicast. We will assume that you have already installed Ghostcast Server and Ghost.exe on your machines, and that you
have created boot media with Ghost.exe for the client computers. We will also assume that your routers support multicasting and IGMP.

Here are the steps to follow:




Create an image file of a model computer using Ghost.exe. You can do this by booting the model computer with the boot media, launching Ghost.exe, choosing Local > Disk > To Image, selecting the source disk and the destination file, and following the
prompts.
Copy the image file to the machine where you will run the Ghostcast Server. This can be any machine on your network that has access to the image file.
Launch the Ghostcast Server by going to Start > Programs > Symantec Ghost > GhostCast Server.
In the Ghostcast Server window, in the Session Name box, type a session name. This can be any alphanumeric sequence of characters and must be unique on your network. For example, you can type "MySession".
Choose Restore Image, then browse to the image file that you created in step 1. For example, you can select "MyImage.GHO".
Click Accept Clients. The Ghostcast Server is now in a ready and waiting state. Boot the client machines that you want to restore the image to with the boot media. From the X: command prompt, run the following: ghost.exe -ja=MySession -sure -rb (replace MySession with your session name).
When Ghost launches on the client machines, choose Ghostcast > Multicast. Then type in the Session Name (from step 4) and click OK, then follow remaining prompts.
Repeat steps 7-8 for each machine that you want to join the multicast session. When all the clients have joined, go to the Ghostcast Server and click Send. The Ghostcast Server will then broadcast the image file to all the joined clients.
Wait for the image restoration process to complete on all the client machines. They will automatically reboot when done.

Congratulations! You have successfully used Symantec Ghostcast Server 11.5 to create and restore images using multicast.
