Imaging a 2000 server Michael Reddick 01-09-2008

 I have a windows 2000 server that is currently running on a PE1650. I want
to remove the server completely from my network but I do need the
information that is stored on this machine. IS it possible to image this
machine and install it on a virtual network and have client connect to it?

Any information will be appreciated

 Hello Michael,

You can use vmware converter for this and run it in vmware server, both free:
http://www.vmware.com/products/converter/

http://www.vmware.com/products/server/

We did it on this way with two old NT4 machines, a PDC and member and works
fine.


Best regards
