Key Scenarios Consolidation of Virtual Infrastructure Provisioning of New Virtual Machines

Physical to Virtual (P2V) Provisioning P2V is a core feature of System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SC VMM), no additional costs per conversion SCVMM P2V includes the ability to create images of physical hard disks, prepare them for use in a virtual machine, and create the final virtual machine for an end-to-end P2V solution Support for Windows ® 2000 Server, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Server 2003 R2 No additional infrastructure is required; no need for PXE or ADS as in VSMT Simple wizard integrated in the main SC VMM user interface is used to perform the conversions P2V process is also completely scriptable via Windows PowerShell and can be done in stages (imaging, fix-up, virtual machine creation)
