I do not think the trial version will allow you to do a P2V conversion.

This is a stand-alone product that will let you backup/clone to dissimilar hardware. You can also easily make them into VM images. Since it's going from a desktop you could download the 60 day trial for the desktop version & use the recovery CD on the server to restore it. If it's doesn't do exactly what you need there's no loss. -Sean Houston On Sat, Mar 1, 2008 at 11:37 AM, Benjamin Zachary <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Oh I misunderstood you want to v2p www.platespin.com <http://www.platespin.com/> is the only way I know with a 'product'. I think you need to convert it from p2v with platespin so it holds all the drivers in its database, but that's likely changed in the past 4 years since I tested it. Livestate will do it by design of the app although its not designed for this purpose the theory is the same, restore the box to different hardware Ghosting can work, and then a repair install.

LiveState by Symantect used to do it. Acronis can do it too I think. That is if I understand teh question right, you want to UN-Virtualize the server right?

IIRC the convertor works directly with ghost and livestate. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 29, 2008 12:06 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Convert a VMware Workstation Image to Server Calling all Vmware wizzzzssss....
