@theopenem_admin Well, maybe I jumped the gun here I just tried it on a different computer and it appears to be working as expected (cache maybe?). I apologize for the premature support request, but I do appreciate your quick response!

I have setup a restricted user that I want to only be able to deploy images, I configured the ACLs and it mostly looks good, but they cannot create new on Demand Multicast sessions, when the screen loads it is blank like the other areas they do not have permission too.

Honestly I really like this idea, I used to do this with TRK (Trinity Rescue Kit), make a master machine, then use TRK to make a temp PXE boot, make the fresh machine the master, then it cloned it's drive to the other in the mcast session. Worked pretty good until EFI cam around.

I tried this out and it seems to work, thanks.

Is there any way to import our CloneDeploy images into TOEMS?

I am trying to do this too, I am using proxy, I have modified the default files in the 3 folders under C:\Program Files\Theopenem\tftpboot\proxy (bios, efi32, efi64) but the changes do make any difference, even if I try to rename a label. Then I seemed to remember I needed to regenerate boot files, and that made no difference other than resting the default files back to default setting of 50

so on the replication, does that truly mean it copies the image file to both servers or is it just updating that it is available? I would like to have the image files stored just once but available to both com servers for cloning on either subnet.

If it is making multiple copies, would maybe a third server for SMB storage prevent that and accomplish one file for both?

I do hope you add the menu editor into TOEMS, like it was in CD.

That's what I was thinking, the Com servers would need to be directly on the subnets they service, but communications between them didn't necessarily have to be on one of those subnets. I would think that should also keep the image file "sharing" from using the actual NIC, and just use the internal net to access that info.

let me ask this, do you think I could have the setup like you explained, but instead of adding one of the Com servers to the other network, have a VM only network between them for their communications?

This is great, I'm going to get started on this, thank you for doing that.

I was kind of thinking that might actually be the case, so my plan and this instance is to take one server as a hypervisor then I could set up the two or three servers I need on that one physical server.

So I would say that demonstrating how to set up multiple servers and one Central storage location would be the focus of the tutorial.

Awesome! I look forward to it, I'll keep an eye out for it.

This I can do, I would also want to have PXE booting for both using Proxy DHCP. We have been using Clonedeploy for quite sometime and I have not been able to figure out the finer details of how to make this work across both networks, so I am seeking advice before installing TOEMS and moving our operations to it.

Is there way I could setup TOEMS to utilize 2 separate LANs, but share the same image files?

We have a Lab LAN and a Staff LAN that are not directly connected for obvious reasons, but I would like to have the ability to clone PCs from either network and share the image files so I don't have to store them on 2 seperate servers.
