What Acronis product are you talking about?

 

[VulcanX]

Acronis Snap Deploy 2, its to deploy OS's to client pcs
Doesnt wana deploy anymore and it worked just 4 hours ago, and doesnt wana get passed 42% with the total deployment

Yeah - I sort of figured it was something like that. Sorry - have never even seen that Acronis package. Have you tried Acronis tech support? They are usually pretty good. Go here and try their "Live Chat." Maybe an upgrade to version 3 is in order?

Acronis

Maybe this has something to do with it?

". Note that this version of the product does not support server operating systems."

Snap deploy is a a hardware independant imaging solution right? Maybe just trying to push an image with True Image Workstation might work better.

Can we have more details?

Are you doing this across a network?

What specs are the machines?

Are you deploying hot or booting the machines from the cd?

 

[VulcanX]

Yeah across the network machines are all the exact same spec, E2200 intels with 2 gb ram and PXE NIC
Booting from PXE (network) and deploying a pre created image to all the machines
And 12 copied over fine, but seems like my acronis software on my server has bombed out bcoz now i try deploy and dont even get a progress bar at all now without it bombing out, and yes acronis 3 snap deploy can deploy vista, thats essentially what i need but company wont buy it tho, i know they wont bcoz i asked for it and got NOTHING
So basically it worked before but now it isnt working, im gonna try reinstalling my acronis server and see, but anyone know where i can get a copy of acronis 3 snap deploy for FREE
