Thanks for the info on the license! By "starting from scratch", would this mean a database would get guest information from the ESX servers (two of them) and populate the client?
Meanwhile, as far as P2V, having this as a VM makes me a bit nervous. (So does virutalizing ALL my domain controllers - I want at least one physical). Also, our current infrastructure client, license server, etc is all on a DC (please don't ask - long story!). We plan on demoting and then scapping this machine. I'd just as soon not have to demote it more than once... -- RMc "Garcia-Moran, Carlos" <cgarciamo...@spragueenergy.com> wrote on 11/04/2009 08:59:17 AM: > Don?t worry about the Host?s they maintain a license for some time > when they can?t communicate with a License server.
