Latest Version of Standalone Converter that supports Windows 2003 Server?

Hi,

We are running ESxi 5.5 with FC SAN.

We are going to perform a P2V for a 32 Bit Windows 2003 Server.  Just wonder which version of Converter suits us most ?

Thanks

Hello

Converter 6.0 still supports Windows 2003, so use the latest 🙂

on which Host you are tying to place the VM, 5.0 , 5.1 ?? use standalone 5.5 Converter if so .. as suggested by Plamen you can still use 6.0 as it support 2003

Just want to confirm that we can install the Standalone Convertor on a Windows 7 workstation and perform P2V for the Notes Server ?  From memory, the resources of ESXi Host is used for P2V and thus the workstation doesn't need to be very powerful.

Cheers

You can .. but make sure you have enough C drive space on the workstation .. it does not need to be very powerful.. it will work
