Virtualize Windows NT4 sp4 and Windows 2000

[arnaudab]

Hello,

I need your help, I have to virtualize two olds servers on a Vmware ESXi as soon as possible (before this weekend !)

This both servers are running with Windows NT4 SP4 and Windows 2000.

I tried to install VConverter but this operating systems are not compatible.

What solution I have ?

I think that if I use Norton Ghost and create a image it will be ok ?

Thanks per advance for your help

Check the supported 3rd party formats in User's Manual.

Hello

Converter 4.0.1 is the last version that supports them and is still available for download.

thank you.

unfortunately I just tried the version 4.0.x is not compatible with the windows NT.

Is there a version more old ?

I have to find a solution

Hmm, I was almost sure it did (despite not supporting it officially) :-(

I think Converter 3.0.3 can still be found on some download sites but can't be downloaded from VMware.

do you have other solution or ideas to virtualize this windows NT ?

Hi,

try checking the helpful answer in this post:VMWare converter - Windows NT - it seems you will have to scour the internet for the right version of Converter . Also, make sure to have the latest Service Pack installed : virtualization - vmware: how to virtualize nt server 4.0? - Server Fault

Hello everybody

I succeeded to visualize all the servers.

So for windows nt I used the version 3 of vconverter,found on the web and for windows 2000 the version 4.

I have had some issues with the network card and the virtual HDD but I solved it.

Thanks you

Have a nice week end !
