Cold cloning requires the VMware Cold Clone Boot ISO, which is only available to VMware Converter Enterprise license-holders.Īfter some Googling around, I came across this thing called MOA, Multi-Operating system Administration. But as you well know, the VMware vCenter Converter Standalone app can only perform P2V hot cloning. This would leave me with a hard drive with a XP installation ready to generate new IDs the next time it was powered on. The best method would be to unregister the ZENworks object, uninstall the Adaptive Agent, pull it off the network, reinstall the Adaptive Agent, and then sysprep -reseal -shutdown the machine. ![]() ![]() After weighing my options, I decided that it wouldn’t be practical to hot clone the physical machine. I needed to convert a physical Windows XP Professional machine running ZENworks into a VMware virtual machine, but only after removing the unique identifiers like the Windows’ SID and ZENworks’ GUID, so that I could later make multiple copies of the VM without them all writing to the same ZENworks object. ![]()
