Symantec Ghost Solution Suite - System Requirements

Ghost Solution Suite Agent: (DAgent and ADLAgent): Agents require network connectivity and 10 MB of disk space. Other system requirements are the same as for the host operating system.

Ghost Solution Suite Server: Symantec recommends running server components on a modern, dedicated server with a 1-GHz or faster processor with 1 GB or more of RAM. At an absolute minimum, this server should have a PIII-compatible 600-MHz or newer processor with 1 GB RAM.

Note: If the database will be hosted on the same computer as your Ghost Solution Suite Server, a minimum of 1 GB memory, with an additional 4 GB is recommended. Computers hosting additional PXE servers and file shares should meet the requirements of the operating system hosting these components.

Automation Requirements: Microsoft recommends 512 MB of memory for computers booting WinPE. At a minimum, you should have 384 MB to avoid boot errors.

Note: If the SQL Server Express database is installed from within the Ghost Solution Suite 3.2 installer, then .NET Framework 3.5 or above is also a prerequisite.
