I have a computer that I created an image on and used Ghost to send it to our server and when I send it down to the Station (exact year model hardware etc) the computer "finds" new hardware like cdrom drive, generic volume, harddrive, 1394 net adapter and all have the device signing and this was checked as ignore when the image when up to the server. even when I check the station and let it find everything and I send that "image" up and then sent it back down to another station or the same one it still "finds" things like above. it doesn't make sense but I reworked the image and I have one that isn't complete and I guess will start from there and slowly ad items until I find the issue but just thought maybe someone has a solution, but in the meantime I will start over again thanks

Try creating the image on a CD or DVD and I think you will have better luck.

I really could not follow your post because it lacked punctuation, consistent capitalization, and sentence structure.

after redoing the images it has corrected itself and I did notice that on the images in question I did windows updates later in the image building process and once I did the windows updates right after the windows install that took care of it.
