[Casper] Errors during imaging

[Thomas Larkin]

I set up all my Casper Servers the same way.  One local admin account and two managed local accounts.  The two local accounts are casperinstall and casperadmin, they are the read only and the read/write users of the casper packages.   Then I create an ACL that allows these accounts full read/write and read only access to those folders.  I like to keep it simple that way.  Then in the JSS add those two users as my read only and read/write user accounts, and I let the local admin account be the owner of all said files.  Then i replicate that across all my casper servers 


have not had a problem yet.

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".
