Executing a task from the Symantec Ghost Console

You can execute a task manually at any time from the Symantec Ghost Console. You can run tasks concurrently.

Before tasks are executed, the following information is checked:

If you run two tasks that have the same target computer, the first task executes for that computer. The second task does not start.

Table 4-1 lists the three task execution modes available from the Symantec Ghost Console.

Mode	Description

Advanced Execute	You can use this mode for Clone and File Transfer tasks only. This mode lets you override the network settings in the task definition, and lets you set the logging parameters for the Ghost cast server. The network settings apply only for this execution, and do not change the task definition. The logging parameters are set on the Multicast server. You may want to use the Multicast server logs to diagnose problems if the data transfer is very slow. Executing a Clone or File Transfer task manually
