Hello all,

I need to make an virtual machine of a windows 2000 machine. Where can I find a download for that?

Please help!

Hello,

Using the vSphere Client either directly connected to a host or Web Client you can create a Windows 2000 OS VM:

Creating a VM is a simple task in all versions, here are some links in case you have difficulty:

You can download from here:

If you are using VMware Workstation Pro; if you choose the Virtualize a Physical Machine, it also gives you a link; similar as well for VMware Fusion on macOS.

Hello, thanks for the reply. I can not find the file I need to download? The new version of VMware converter does not support windows 2000.

Please help!

Looks like what you need is VMware Converter 4.0.1 which is the last version that supported Windows 2000 SP4.

Search engine results will show some site(s) for download. I guess it is a matter of trust whether you want to download them.

Search engine results will also yield the supposed original SHA1 and MD5 checksums of the original downloads; again it would be a matter of trust.

EDIT: MD5 of the 4.0.1 download is found in an image in this communities link

Hi

    I clieck that link,but can not go to the website,can you send a new link to me ? thans

With SP3 only I dont think you can use Converter at all.
If I remember right even version 3.0.3 already required SP6 to do the import.
So either you update the machine to SP6 first - or you have to do the import manually.
