  • 1.  Capturing VM image using Ghostcast Server

    Posted Jun 08, 2018 04:23 PM

    Hi all-

     

    Just received a number of new laptops and I'd like to create a new golden image for our fleet of laptops that can be deployed to different hardware configs.

    I haven't been able to find much concrete information on this topic and would like some feedback. I'm creating a Windows 10 image (with the proper VL in place) in VMware and would like to use this image as the "standard image" that I can use to deploy. My question is how viable is this through Ghost?

    I found this article: https://www.symantec.com/connect/articles/converting-image-file-format-gho-vmdk-and-vmdk-gho?list_context_id=3378001&list_context_type=symantec_product

    but it's from 2010 and I'm not sure how applicable it is today. Can this process be done without using Ghost Solution Suite, or should I be using GSS for this process?

     

    Any feedback is welcomed and I'll be happy to provide additional details if needed.

     

    Thank you.

    Nevermind, I just convereted the .vmdk to .gho and that worked flawlessly.
