RE: V2P?
Platespin or remove the VM Tools and Sysprep Cheers Ken From: James Rankin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 29 October 2008 7:53 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: V2P? I know it is easy enough to do a P2V conversion, but is there any way you can go the other way? I have a load of cloned VMWare guests that are all deployed from a template, and now I need this template to be deployed to a single physical Dell PE 2950. Is this possible? Thinking about it, how would you be able to get the hardware devices detected correctly? Does anyone know of any possible way this could be done?

RE: V2P?
There are some articles on doing this manually as well, but like Ken said platespin is an option, you could also run something like livestate against them which I used to use when platespin wasn't cost effective.

Yank the tools, make sure mass storage drivers for your controller are in the critical device database, image out then in. When it boots for the first time, it will find everything and you can add your OE specific software. jlc From: James Rankin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 29, 2008 2:53 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: V2P?

Actually, I said tools :) If you have more than one to yank your either sexually diverse (bravo) or a freak (even cooler maybe)...

RE: V2P?
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/249694 we have done that with migrations from 2550s to 2950s to remain in support without reloading the OS. I am sure it would work the same with a VM. Basically use NT backup, restore and before rebooting, load the mass storage drivers. -Troy -Original Message- From: James Rankin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 29, 2008 1:53 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: V2P?
