We recently purchased Ghost Suite 2.5 from Symantec.
In testing we noticed an issue where by if you tried to deploy the Ghost Client to a PC in a workgroup it would fail with the following error message.
Failed to install: \\PC780 (7): Connection: Logon failure. Possible reasons are: 1. Incorrectly specified password and/or username. 2. Simple File Sharing is enabled and the client is running on Windows XP. 3. Incompatible Windows LAN Manager authentication levels between console & client machine. Please refer to the Symantec Ghost Manual to change the above mentioned windows settings.
The fix was to disable Simple File Sharing on the target PC.
This can be accomplished by navigating to the tools menu in Windows Explorer, choosing Options then clicking on the view tab. The last option on that window is to Enable or Disable Simple File Sharing.
Simply untick that box, and click okay.
You will then be able to install the Ghost Client.
