forgot to mention
all machines imaged with PE boot disk, all machines have same kind of NIC with static ip's and can pull/push to the ghost server just fine if they have boot disk. using gss 2.5 on Windows 2003 servers but imaged with older ghost cast server not on the domain. Also have 2 other ghost cast servers on the domain running older versions of ghost. The master image contains the PubKey cert for the new ghost cast server with the client software installed. I imaged the machines using the onboard RJ-45 NIC 20 a time connected via CAT-5 to same switch from the older ghost cast server on seperate VLAN, not on the network. Then deployed imaged machines to domain enabling the Fiber NIC with static IP. All machines are on in the same OU in Active Directory and my symantec endpoint anti virus server (same server as new ghost cast) can see all the machines and push to them.
