Key Features

What's New & Improved

Norton Ghost Console - New!

Centralized Management

Allows you to initiate, configure, and manage the cloning of Windows 2000/98/95 and NT workstations across the network from a single location, saving valuable time and resources.

Provides a graphical topology of your network environment, allowing you to visually group targeted workstations for easier cloning.

Warns users before a cloning operation begins, giving them time to save and exit their work.

Remote Control

Allows administrators or help desk personnel to perform an unattended refresh of a target machine, eliminating the need to travel to the system to manually insert a Norton Ghost boot disk.

Post-cloning Utility

Captures and stores the following critical workstation data in the Norton Ghost Console, allowing administrators to quickly reconfigure client settings after a cloning operation:

·  Machine name

·  Workgroup

·  Domain

·  Machine description

·  TCP/IP settings

Eliminates the need to manually adjust machine-specific settings on each client, saving time and resources.

Task Management

Provides centralized logging and reporting

Includes a log of all cloning operations, allowing you to quickly identify and troubleshoot errors.

Lets you execute tasks from the command line, allowing you to use Ghost with 3rd party program schedulers (for example, NAV Scheduler)

Ease-of-Use & Flexibility - Improved!

MultiCast Assist Boot Wizard-New! Provides an easy-to-use interface that walks administrators through the creation of Ghost

client boot disks

PXE Driver Support-New! Supports a universal network driver for use with the Microsoft Remote Installation Service or any PXE compliant (pc98) machine.

Microsoft Remote Installation Server Support-New! Enables the Windows 2000 Remote Installation Server to use Norton Ghost for rolling out Windows 2000 Workstations to PXE compliant (PC98) machines.

MultiCast Server for NetWare-New! Allows administrators to run the MultiCast Server in a NetWare environment for added flexibility.

Linux Support-New! Extends Norton Ghost to provide native support for the Linux EXT/2 file system.

User Interface-Improved! Provides a new look and feel, making Norton Ghost even easier to use.

Enhanced Standalone Utilities

Ghost Walker 6.0 - Improved!

Reassigns a new unique security identifier (SID) for imaging NT workstations with compatibility/support for:

·  Windows NT Service Pack 4 and 5

·  Fully compatible with the Microsoft System-Preparation utility

Ghost Explorer 6.0 - Improved!

Lets you not only browse an image and restore individual files or directories, but now you can save time and gain additional flexibility with the ability to add files to an existing image and recompile. No more full image-creation-just to add a single file or directory.

GDISK 6.0 - Improved!

Supports the latest, large capacity disks.

Provides secure disk wiping to US Department of Defense (DoD) specifications.

Reduces Installation Time

Disk Cloning

Lets you duplicate the hard drive of a configured and tested PC onto one or more PCs-quickly and easily.

Reduces the time and cost of rolling out new PCs or upgrading existing ones by 90% or more:

Without Ghost, the installation of a typical 300 megabyte Windows 95 system takes about one hour and requires substantial operator input.

With Ghost, the same installation takes about five minutes and requires no operator input.

Increases confidence that a cloned-PC configuration will work the first time.

Formats the target drive automatically as it copies a disk image, eliminating manual and tedious FDISK and FORMAT tasks.

Partitions the target drive automatically, expanding or contracting the FAT partition dynamically to fit the target disk. Makes more efficient use of hard drive space.

Adjusts the size and position of the target partitions automatically when the source and target disks are different sizes, saving you time, hassle, and disk space. (Note: Also allows users to control partition size).

Makes a complete backup of the operating system, applications, and critical data, (including "in-use" system files that are missed by other backup utilities), saving you time and hassle.

Saves the backup as a single image file that can be stored on a network server, CD-ROM, JAZ, or ZIP drive.

Spans (or splits) media if the image is too large to fit on a single disk.

Multicasting

Allows multiple networked machines to receive the same image file simultaneously through a single TCP/IP transmission.

Replicate numerous drives in the same time it takes to clone one.

Supports thousands of PCs for large organizations.

GDisk

Offers a more robust, command line replacement for FDISK and Format.

Batch Mode

Automates repetitive tasks, such as downloading image files to multiple workstations.

Reduces administrator and end user intervention.

Minimizes Network Bandwidth

Multicasting

Minimizes the impact on network bandwidth by eliminating multiple transmissions of the same image.

Image compression (optional)

Compresses image files up to 70%, reducing storage requirements and transfer times.

Provides Disaster Recovery

Ghost Explorer (standalone utility)

Allows you to easily restore individual files, directories, or entire hard drives from the image after disk failure or user error.

Generates SIDs

Ghost Walker (standalone utility)

Assigns unique SIDs on all cloned Windows NT systems, ensuring that networked machines will function properly.

Offers Flexibility
