Converting Physical Windows Server 2012 R2 Server to ESXI Virtual Machine

Hey all.

I want to copy my existing physical server that is at my workplace to a new esxi server, now on this physical server we have lots of programs and work related stuff.

My question is will I need to do anything after the copy is complete?

As we speak I'm currently copying the server, so I've already went through the vConverter without any problems.

Will I be able to turn off the physical server and power on the new ESXI Virtual Machine and continue working as always?

Do I have to re-join the work computers to the domain?

What other steps do I have to take to be able to take down the physical server completely and start working on the new virtual machine?

Thank you.
