From: "Dominic Kaiser" <dominic(a)bostonvineyard.org&gt; To: users(a)ovirt.org Sent: Wednesday, February 29, 2012 11:00:54 AM Subject: [Users] Can someone help me with moving a windows server 2008 to ovirt? So I have been looking at how to move windows 2008 and R2 servers from vmware esxi4 over to ovirt. I moved my Linux servers over with clonezilla. But windows needs a sysprep and generalize not to mention uninstalling vmtools and vmware drivers. I have done this. I then use clonezilla to put the image onto a thinprovisioned drive on ovirt. It starts to boot then blue screen of death. Am I missing something other than syspreping the windows machine and uninstalling the vmware drivers? Also is there a better way? P.S. Also I have ovirt up in a production envirenment and is running rock solid for the past month great job guys!
