[Casper] Errors during imaging

[NATHANIEL.LINDLEY at spps.org]

Rich,
I get errors like that occasionally at remote sites where it will say 
"Error installing .....package" or "Script is missing"   But I know they 
are there and sometimes it worked even with the error and then sometimes I 
don't get errors and the machine is not bootable.  I've seen a couple 
cases where the package (especially OS package) is bad at the remote site 
and when I replace it as you did, it works.   Strange.  I'm curious about 
network issues causing this?   why would it say "script or package not 
found" when I know it is there and permissions are good.

On the side, do the permissions on a package or script need to be r - - or 
 r - x   to work for install?   I've seen both and don't think it matters, 
just curious.

[Casper] Errors during imaging






We just rolled out Casper to another one of our remote offices.  We are 
having issues imaging computers.  Some of the packages fail to install. It 
usually is a different package each time.  I have make sure all 
permissions are correct.  I even recopied all of the files to the share to 
make sure they where not damaged some how.  No luck.  I am thinking that 
the computer is dropping the share while imaging.  Any way to check and 
see if that is the case?

Example error

An error occurred while Casper was imaging the computer "MX61-Landor PB 
15".
