We are trying to create a process that allows us to clone (create images of) our NT Server hard drives (using Drive Image Pro). This process should be automated so it can run at night with no user intervention. We have already created boot diskettesthat will automatically log onto the network, map a drive to the “image server” and create the images for us. The problem is that someone would have to be here at the office to pop the diskette out when the process is done and the server reboots.
We have tried using a CMOS read/write program to change the drive boot order, but it seems that NT will not allow these (dos based) programs to write to the CMOS.
Someone suggested manipulating the BOOT.INI file, but I don’t know how i could dothis from DOS when the hard drive is only NTFS?
To get the points, please provide step-by-step instructions.
Thanks.
