I am about to convert a domain member, four-drive, Windows 2003 Server that contains SQL Server and Oracle databases as well as a large number of file shares (many tens). I've read that the conversion of multiple drives is no prob but I can't find anything on whether or not Converter will correctly transfer all of the file shares. I need this to happen or I'll have to figure out another approach.
Does it migrate file shares/ACLS correctly?
Thanx,
Garth
The users shouldn't notice any difference. The admins will just see a few VMware traces (devices, tools ...) but the system will remain the same.
What you can do is to make a test, as the process is not destructive for the original machine. Then, once your solution is proven, make the final move.

Hi GarthDK,
Yes, all the file system is copied with corresponding ACLs.

Thanx for the reply. Just to be absolutely clear, the Converter will copy all file shares over to the new VM so a remote user won't know the difference. Right?

Thanx much. I'll give it a try.
