+11Hello all,
I just installed VMWare Fusion 7 on a loaded Mac Pro running Yosemite. I would like to install my current Casper image as a VM to do some testing instead of rebuilding and test a Mac Book Pro that I imaged at least 20 times. In all I would like to have several Casper images as VM's on this box so web developers and others can test the image. How do you go about doing this?
Thanks

There's a video from this year's JAMF Nation that you may be interested in:

If you are serving up NetBoot images on your network, you can tell the VM to used bridged Ethernet and image the VM over the network. Alternatively, you can use the Paragon VMDK Mounter to mount the virtual disk in the virtual machine, and use Casper Imaging to image that volume.

+13@rtrouton I was at that session, thanks so much for that! I've been able to implement a lot of what I learned and it's helped a lot. I've even managed to snag a decommissioned Mac Pro that I'm hoping to install ESXi on one of these days...
