System Center VMM Beta 2: How to P2V

System Center Virtual Machine Manager Help for Beta 2 (in the Virtual Machine Manager Administrator Console) includes a topic called “How to Convert a Physical Server to a Virtual Machine,” which tells how to perform a P2V conversion. The Help for the Windows PowerShell - Virtual Machine Manager command shell also provides an explanation, including two examples (shown below) of how to perform the conversion by using Windows PowerShell cmdlets. The following operating systems are supported on source machines for P2V conversions:

  • Microsoft Windows 2000 Server with Service Pack 4 (SP4) (Note: Versions before SP4 will not work.)

  • Microsoft Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 1 (SP1) and later

  • Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2
