VMware Converter

Importing Virtual Machines

To Import a virtual machine, just click on the Import Machine button the top left side of the interface. 

Next, you'll see the Import dialog box come up. Click Next twice. Select the type of source to import from:

In our case, we selected physical computer but notice all the different sources you can import virtual machines from. You could import an existing virtual machine, a physical machine that this program is running on, or a remote machine over the network

We filled out the remote IP address and administrator username/password, then clicked Next. The VM Converter will connect to the remote machine over the network at this time. You will get the message that the VM Converter agent needs to be installed on the remote machine

Next option you have to type Vcenter  Name and Domain user id and password 

After pushing the VMware converter agent below screen will appear 

Next you will need to choose a destination, click Next.

We will choose to put this physical machine on our standalone VMware Server (as that is all we have installed).

Select the destination and check with Virtual machine Name and data store space. 

Take the default network options and click Next. Take the default on customizations and click Next.

You are now ready to import the virtual machine!
