Ghost Solution Suite

Hi everyone

I have few virtual machines, I need to convert Virtual Machine to a phsical(VtoP). Do ghost solution 3.0 does it for me or 
is there any other utility from symantec which offers this solution. The OS i am using is 2008 and 2012R2.

Hi there!

This is indeed possible with Ghost Solution Suite 3. The best way to do this would be to craete an image of the virtual machine, then deploy that to the physical hardware. Just install the Ghost Standard Tools, then use the following articles:

Creating Boot Media For Legacy Ghostcasting With Ghost Solution Suite 3

Image Creation with Legacy Ghostcasting With Ghost Solution Suite 3

Legacy Ghostcasting With Ghost Solution Suite 3 For Image Deployment

The first article is for creating the boot media. For a virtual machine, I would create an *.ISO image and designate that as the CD/DVD drive in the VM settings. Boot to that, then use the steps in the second article to create the image. Then create a physical boot disk (or burn that ISO to CD, DVD, or USB) and boot the physical machine, using the third article to deploy the image.

Thank you,
