Hello, fist post. Need help migrating older VMWare server .vmdk and associated .vmx file based virtual machines to the .ovf format.
I have used the latest (as of this writing) ovfTool.exe and received the folowing error below. Below that is a copy of the .vmx file. Any help would be appreceiated! Thanks ahead of time!
