So after re-creating the boot media (I used a CD originally) using a USB stick. The only thing I changed was the boot media platform. I went from 64 bit to 32 bit and it's working. Once things calm down a bit here, I may re-try with a CD. I'm wondering if the issue was related to the 64-bit version or not. The time frame to push down my 150 GB image is just over an hour to a single machine. Thanks again, John

Glenn, The image is so large due to the applications. We are a technology school focusing on video game design and graphic design. Unless there's a better way to deploy the apps, the image has to be this size. I captured it using the capture wizard. I have created a windows 8.1 deployment with some standard apps that worked without issues so I'm not sure what's causing the issue with the larger one. Thanks, John

Good day, I have recently started using SmartDeploy (since our version of Ghost does not support windows 8.1). I have the 15 day trial installed and is working great so far. I am trying to deploy a windows 8.1 image to a testing machine but when the deployment gets to transferring the files I get an error: "A new guard page for the stack cannot be created." and nothing happens from there. The deployment window closes and I am let at the initial boot up screen. If I try to re-run the deployment process it tells me that there is already a deployment in progress (but it's not on the screen or minimized). Is there something I am missing? My master image file (.wim) is approximately 150GB and both the server and client are connected to the same gigabit switch. Any help is greatly appreciated. Cheers, John
