I don't know if that's the appropriate forum to ask this.Accept my apologies if not.
I have a physical server with windows Server 2000 installed, and I want to keep that instance on a virtual box VM.The question is how can I do that?
At the moment I only have a another physical server and the two machines are connected via network.The Win2k server is installed on a RAID5 array.
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thank you.

Re: Capturing a physical server to virtual image
Actually one that is simple to deploy and works with Windows server 2000.
Well at theoretical level (inside VM enviroment) I 've tested and confirm that Citrix Xenconvert 2.3 is compatible with 2000, despite the .NET Framework 2 SP2 requirement (isntalls and updates fine in 2000 even though MS says XP/2003 and higher) and Citrix discouraging you before running the tool (deprecates its use in 2000).
I have made two images (.vhd format) of a fresh WIndows 2000 installations and both tested and work fine inside VirtualBox 4.0.4.
In case someone finds this useful.
