<FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>In your AFP server, add more memory, and then some more memory... I’d say 8GB is a minimum. Of course, if this is only occasional as you elude to, then it might be a server utilization issue, even if the server is doing a bunch of SUS downloads, or something is running with errors so it’s logging like crazy. Also, is it new enough hardware to be all gigabit? As Tom mentioned, a really long image time or a bad image can also be a signal that the HDD is about to completely flake out.<BR>

<B>Subject: </B>[Casper] EXTREMELY slow imaging<BR>
<BR>
Hi all, long time listener, first time caller...<BR>
<BR>
I've been using Casper for about a month now, we've completely <BR>
migrated our imaging processes over to JSS/Casper Imaging, and for the <BR>
most part everything is awesome.<BR>
<BR>
Except that every once in a while I'll get a system that is slow as <BR>
Christmas in taking a new image. This makes no sense to me at all <BR>
since I'm on a gigabit connection to my server, and it's the ONLY <BR>
system being imaged. I suppose there could be heavy network overhead, <BR>
but I doubt it since it's the summer and nearly everyone is out of the <BR>
office.<BR>
<BR>
Has anyone else seen this behavior, and if so, did you find a way <BR>
around it?<BR>
<BR>
Thanks,<BR>
