Microsoft Windows Vista and 64-Bit OS Support
Symantec Ghost Solution Suite 2.0 enhances and leverages Microsoft's own best practices for Vista migration. Version 2.0 was primarily designed to support Windows Vista and ease the burden of migrating PC's and user data and settings.
* Support for Windows Vista and 64-Bit OS's
* Fast file- or sector-based imaging
* Single management console for all migration tasks
* Multicast technology to rapidly and reliably deploy Vista to hundreds of systems simultaneously
* Built-in inventory filters to quickly and easily identify 'Vista ready' machines
* Create hardware independent Vista images using Ghost and SysPrep

Integrated System, User Data and Settings Migration
A successful OS migration / deployment project includes ensuring that existing user data and settings remain intact after changes have been made. The integration of User Migration in version 2.0 allows you to create a single task to generate a baseline corporate image, capture user data and settings, deploy the new OS, perform post-deployment configuration, and then restore the user data and settings - all from a single, centralized console.
* Quickly and easily migrate PC user data and settings
* User migration across the network or peer-to-peer (systems not connected to network)
* Peer-to-peer utilizes access rights and transport encryption to provide secure transfer and storage
* Built-in migration wizard to simplify user migration
* Migration can be administrator or user-initiated and supports extensive administrative configuration options
* Supports extensive range of popular applications well beyond Symantec and Microsoft

This is achieved by reducing the need to maintain multiple image files and making it easy to keep image files current and up to date.
* Edit NTFS, FAT and EXT2/3 Ghost images
* Easily add, remove and modify files and folders within Ghost images

Generic Variable-based Tasks
Symantec Ghost Solution Suite 2.0 now supports the use of generic variables for tasks. A Parameter, such as image name or target computers, can be specified at the time of task execution. Generic tasks simplify task management and provide significant flexibility as they can be re-used over and over again simply by supplying different parameter values.
* Parameters can be supplied at the time of task execution
* Generic tasks can be re-used over and over again
* Minimizes overall number of tasks required and simplifies management

GUID Partition Table (GPT) Support
GUID Partition Table (GPT) support provides the ability to image drives larger than 2TB. GPT uses modern logical block addressing (LBA) in place of the cylinder-head-sector (CHS) addressing used with MBR.
* 2TB Limit of MBR is no longer a constraint
* Four primary partition limitation of MBR no longer applies

Preconfigured RAID array support under WinPE
Administrators now can use Symantec Ghost Solution Suite 2.0 to create and deploy images of hardware RAID arrays under WinPE. Administrators are able to create images of partitions that are much larger than any single drive can provide
