Manual Deployment taking entirely too long...
What can I do to make sure it is working correctly?
Everything is installed and teh Snap Deploy agent on the remote machine connected properly to the PXE server and awaited its instructions. The Snap Deployment Management Console is currently showing Progress at 9% complete... This was started 2 hours ago?!?!?!?!?!?!
The image is file is on a network drive and is 18Gb. I don't see any reason why this would be the issue. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for any feedback or assistance!

Hello Clay,
Thank you for your post. I will do my best to help you with this issue.
It is possible network configuration is causing this slow deployment. I would recommend this article as an example and try toggling between unicast or multicast settings.
If this does not help please contact our Support team so that we can investigate this problem.
Please let me know if you have additional questions.
Thank you.

I run into a similar issue, though not as bad. When restoring via boot CD and external USB 2.0 hard disk, it will image fairly quickly until the last "16 seconds" where it could remain for another hour. It does eventually finish, but sometimes takes close to an hour, which is odd because image creation takes about 15 to 20 minutes and that is normally the long part, not the restoration.
There is something not right with the standalone client anyway. I can create an image using eSATA, but I cannot restore using eSATA. Even though the system detects the drive in both instances, Standalone mode will not see it. I have to switch to USB 2.0 for restoration, which is slower. Anyway, I'm going to do some searching on that subject and create a new thread on it if I cannot find one already in action.
