  • 1.  AI Snapshot not included with trial version?

    Posted Apr 21, 2008 10:26 AM
    I'm testing out GSS 2.0.1 as a solution for deploying some heavy-duty software packages at my company. However, it's sort of difficult considering the trial version apparently excluded AI Snapshot. Did I download the wrong trial installer, or is there a separate package? I didn't even see an option for it in the installer. The only choice I had under Auto Install was the AI Builder; I assumed AI Snapshot would be included therein. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I beleive it is included in the trial, it's just that the AI snapshot and builder are now installed automatically with the ghost console client.  Therefore you would probably only see the AI Builder on the installer as you may want to install this on it's own server which does have the console or console client software installed.
     
    To launch AI Snapshot or builder on the client/model machine, run them directly from the install folder.  
    e.g. (if using default install path)
    C:\Program Files\Symantec\Ghost\AISnapshot.exe
     
    You also no longer need to removed the console client when you want to use AI snapshot. The rest of it's operation is the same as in earlier versions

    That's the thing - aisnapshot.exe isn't in the Ghost program folder. It's also not in the Start menu. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but all options are selected. I don't know where it could have ended up.

    EDIT: Nevermind! I was looking at the server instead of the model/client. My reading comprehension is terrible this morning.
