P2V with vcenter 5.5

Hello

I was looking for the Vcenter version of P2V but I only see the standalone download. The standalone running against Vcenter from what I see needs some tweaks to work.

if there an enterprise version?

thank you

I always thouht that integrating Converter into vCenter was a obscure idea. IMHO Converter should be installed into a fresh standalone Win7 VM that is not even part of a domain. After installation of Converter the vmdk can be set to nonpersistant mode so that Converter always comes up clean.
Anyway there is no enterprise version - so you have to troubleshoot the errors you get now..

Does it work if you address an ESXi directly ?
