Hello,
I am new here and to posting.
I have been trying to convert a physical Windows Server 2016 Essentials machine into a VM on Virtualbox. I have tried several options, unchecking VHDX and unchecking both VHDX and Shadow Copies and have not been able to get it to work in Virtualbox Version 6.0.10 r132072 (Qt5.6.2).
I have tried with the system motherboard enabling EFI and it still does not work. If I don't check it off Enable EFI in the system motherboard I get a Fatal: No bootable medium found! System halted.
When EFI is checked off I get some errors. that results in defaulting to startup.nsh
The one way which I have got it working is if I use vmware vCenter to convert the physical machine into a vmdk. I opened it up in vmware workstation 15 and then I used VBoxManage.exe clonehd --format vdi of the vmdk file and then it seems to work.
I would love to skip this extra step and I am not sure if something is getting lost in between.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you.
