I have to create an image of a server and I am stuck. I have only looked on while someone did this before and so I don't want to proceed without being sure of my steps.

Here is what I recall:
1. Insert Network Book Disk
2. Press F12 to Login toNetwork Drive
3. Login with Username and Password
4. Type Net use X:\\yyyy\Image$ (where x is the drice and yyyy is the server name)
5. Type x:\Ghost\Ghost

Can someone tell me if these steps will help me achieve my object and, if not, can you point me in the right direction.

follow your steps and then select local>disk>from image, you will be prompted for the local drive, highlight your drive and enter. You will also be propted for the image file, tab along to the drop down box and select the x: drive press enter and highlight your image file. press enter, at that point you will be asked for confirmation and check that the source is x:\image.gho (where image is your image file) and destination is the local disk c:. Also if this is an image of a win2k server machineyou will need to run ghost walker "ghstwalk.exe" (boot to dos and run from prompt) which you will get with ghost or sid walkerer or similar utility online. This is to change the sid of the machine which cannot be identical to another machine on a domain. You do this by renaming the machine from within the utility. The last step will not be neccesary if sysprep was run on the machine prior to making the image. Good Luck.
