I'm having a problem getting a physical w2k server moved onto ESX. It prompts me for a hot fix for scsiport.sys but everything is up to date in windows update and I can't find a download for a more recent one than 12/29/2004. The process fails at 100% when it begins the post-processing.

You will find it in C:\Windows\system32\drivers, at least that is where I found it.

I was able to get a new file by reapplying Win2k SP4 rollup 1. Once I did that I stopped getting the scsiport.sys errors. I had to manually download and reapply the rollup, even though i had it previously installed to get the updated scsiport.sys file.

A more information
I have also SCSIPORT.SYS 5.0.2195.7059 24/06/2005
(Post SP4 Update Rollup 1) so I don't believe to fix this driver at
version of KB891861, as I have Read in this forum.

Please answer as soon is possible, if You can

The easy way to convert is to install the scsi driver from vmware on the phisical system (before converting).

After converting the machine you have to install the VMware tools and everyting works fine.
