[Casper] All of Caspers files?

[Nichols, Jared]

Is this a new installation or are you expanding an existing infrastructure?  If it's new, I'd say back up any packages that you've made and start over.  Even if you seem to route out all of your problems, I'd be weary about feeling confident in the installation - if it were me anyway...

The general gist of your situation tells me dns, dns, dns.  Related, you should always use FQDNs.

I'm having a ton of problems with our new deployment of Casper 6 to about 15 servers. Things are not replicating, Adobe installs don't get listed in Casper Admin, Self Service is super flakey, reimaging is skipping the main disk image, etc.

I have a feeling it has something to do with the initial setup/config, and possibly not using fully qualified domain names. It could also have something to do with permissions or accounts on the server side or client side. But there is just too much going wrong for this to be considered normal.

Support has been great. I should know - I have called them every day. :) But short of getting a Casper rep out here to go over the whole system and find/fix all the bugs, is there a good listing of where all the config files are stored and what they should look like? On both the client side and server side? Or maybe someone wrote a doc on what happens in the background when you, say, schedule a replication from the master server to another server so when it fails, I can check all the steps manually, such as making a connection via SSH with the casperadmin name/pass from the master server to one of the other servers, and where to apply a fix should a problem be found?
