    We haven't upgraded to 6.0, but I had similar problems with 5.1d. Using the
    dump from client selection on the server side almost always gave me images
    that failed with a corrupt image file error message after attempting to
    Ghost back down.

    Booting into DOS with a network boot disk, mapping to the ghost share on
    the ghost server, and then launching the ghost executable on the server
    worked every time. You then just start the dump manually, selecting the
    local partition(drive) and selecting somewhere on the mapped drive to dump
    the file.

    Concerning licensing,

    We are also planning on going to Windows 2000, so we are also interested in
    a campus site license for Ghost 6, but we are evaluating the Imagecast
    program that Stefan listed. Looking through the manual, it looks like it
    will do everything Ghost will do and maybe more. If someone is setting up a
    site license for it, Haas is also interested in participating.

    Thanks,
    Forrest
