I understand that, I have done it many times.
But deleting the mounted devices registry key really is a "repair" because your fixing the incorrect drive letter issue by forcing windows to re-assign the letters.
Are you any good with VBS?
If so,do you have a Norton or Symantec contact?
I would think that purchasing 1500 licenses would get you a contact or access to symantec connect portal.

Reason why I asked that is because Ghost 15 is actually Symantec System Recovery 2011 with restore anywhere removed and the logos changed from Symantec to Norton.
Inside the SSR 2011 download or on the CD is a documentation folder that contains a folder called "automation"
That folder has a lot of information and examples of using VBS to scrip things.
I see an example for copying a volume.
I can also see that Ghost 15 contains the important sutomation file, VproAuto.dll "Central automation library for accessing VProRecovery functionality"
Every page in that folder says it can't be copied or distributed, thats why I'm wondering if you have a contact that can provide it to you.

The only thing that has be done is as part of our ghost process after ghost COMPLETES is that the D:\Windows\system32\config\system needs to be loaded as a key and the HKLM\MountededDevices deleted (or the drive will not be bootable).
If you copied into unallocated free space instead of the D: partition you would not need to do the registry step. That's what I suggested previously. Copy into unallocated free space and don't assign a drive letter to the copy.
But still, Ghost won't do what you desire. It is a manual process.
Thanks DaveH! I am proficient in Vbscript. Your recommendation is something I will look into. Our company recently had the person maintaining many of our Vendor relationships leave so I will look into getting a contact.
Brian_K - What I am looking for is an "unattended" process once I have made the necessary programmatic adjustments and a single button is pushed ;)

I understand. Good luck with Ghost 15. Easy to do with other software. It could be scheduled. No button to press at all.
SSR 2013 has the same "automation" folder and documentation but it uses powershell instead of VBS.
You can donload the trial version and look at it by going here and creating a Symantec account.
(The Norton forum account will not work there).

Download the ........Multilingual_Product.zip and look in the docs folder.
