I have seen the documentation on how to install an OS on a virtual machine, but I would like to know how to create an image (or VMware configuration file) from a preexisting server or machine.
I have a Windows Server 2008 that is currently serving as a build machine, and I would like to install Team Foundation Server on this machine. However, I would like to test this installation first on a virual guest duplicating this WIN08 server as it exists. So, I want to take an image of this server, so that I can upload its VMware configuration file to the virtual environment that exists on my development machine. My question is how to create this image or VMware configuration file? Thanks!
