  • 1.  Removing Converter agent without reboot

    Hi all,

    Can you remove the VM Converter agent from a source without reboot so the next clone completes without error?

    Sorry, should of said I'm using version 4. I did a test run on a practice machine we have and it looks like the wizard checks the source machine for agent and doesn't prompt if it's already on there.

    Hello,

    When VM converter 3.0 does not promt for a restart then v4.0 also will not. Also on one occation when I tried on my nework I did not want a reboot. I sent the release notes just for your reference.

    Ran P2V and it didn't ask for agent to be installed, must detect it's already there and continue with the process.
