Image Deployment Very Slow...
Hi I'm running a trial version of Snap Deploy and I'm trying to deploy an image to a computer but it's running very slowly. It says the rate is 1.112MB/Sec and has 2 hours remaining. How can I speed up images? I used both Multicast and Unicast however I get the same slow speeds.
Thanks

I was having the same issue and although I could not resolve it I figured out the problem.
When building an image by default it compresses the images to save on hard drive space. Then when deploying the images it takes a significant amount of processing power in order to decompress them before it transfers it to the machines being deployed. You might try putting your deploy server onto a machine with more processing power, or if you have a plentiful amount of hard drive space you might want to disable compression all together. It will make for a larger file and more to transfer but it still seems much faster depending on your hardware.
There is also the thought of making sure everything is linking up gigabit, that helps too. It's all about finding the bottle neck and mine was the processor on the server.
