Ghosting to NT server Slow.

[franklin97355]

Does anybody know why ghosting (Symantec Ghost 6.5) is much slower to an NT server than to a Novell server on the same network (in the same server room)? Any ideas appreciated.

Are both Servers running at the same network speed (10 or 100)? Any major differences between the two in regards to CPU speed?

Same network speed. The Novell servers are the older (slower) of the two. I'm thinking there is some process running on the transfer on the NT server not running when ghosting to Novell.

Check Task Manager, see what percentage of CPU Utilization is during a Ghost session. Check which processes are the hogs. Perhaps your NT Server has alot more background processes running than is the case with the Novell Server.

Well I found the answer ! The server has the lan built in to the motherboard. Adding a PCI network card fixed the problem. We will be adding cards to all our servers in the near future.
