Hello.
I am not sure what to ask so im sorry if my question is a bit wierd.
At my office we use workstation 7 to test and troubleshoot different version of our system.
As it is now i have 3 vmware machines
1: Windows 7
2.: Windows 2008
3. Windows 2003
So when i recive a problem with out product i ask what OS they use and if they use windows 7 i start my windows 7 vmware machine.
My next question is what version of our product they use and dependent what they say i install that version and check if i get the same problem as them.
Now i support 3 different system that each have like 4 different versions and they can all be runned on above OS.
During a normal working day i have to install and uninstall different version of our software several times and i have come to a limit and need to do something about it.
Since im not an expert in vmware i came up with this solution in my head.
One PC with some kind of vmware server that holds all my vmware machines example:
vmware 1: Windows 7 with software version 1
vmware 2: Windows 7 with software version 2
vmware 3: Windows 7 with software version 3
vmware 4: windows 2008 with software version 1
etc
etc
Now from my main PC i want to simply connect to this server and make a copy or a clone of the vmware i want so i get it with the correct version.
We are a small office and i just try to look for a way to make things a little faster for us.
Now to my question.
1. its a whole ocean out there with different vmware product some cost alot of money some are free,
What do i need to accomplish what i have described and is there a free version since i already have several workstation licenses.
2. Can this be managed in a better way then what i have described?
