I am amazed that you got the P2V to work with NT 4 SMP,because it will generally give you an error saying it is unsupported.<br />
<br />
As for W2kX and above,P2V should handle the issue by creating a new virtual HAL.<br />
<br />
So I wouldn't worry about it.

Hello Experts!@<br />
<br />
Background: I've been converting our corporate infrastructure from &quot;physical machines&quot; to &quot;virtual machines&quot; (P2V) and for the most part this has been going well. However, I ran across and incident with an NT 4.0 Terminal Services Edition machine where the CPU was maxed out a 100% on the new/migrated virtual machine. After some research I found this article: <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/156358" rel="ugc nofollow">http://support.microsoft.com/kb/156358</a>&nbsp;and was able to follow the procedure and change certain files and now the CPU runs at a normal rate. <br />
<br />
So, the question is this:<br />
<br />
Does the procedure in this KB Article (<a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/156358" rel="ugc nofollow">http://support.microsoft.com/kb/156358</a>) apply to Windows 2000/2003 servers as well? If not can you point me to the procedure to follow?<br />
<br />
Thanks!<br />

Manually change HAL (hal.dll) and Processor support in Windows 2000 and Windows 2003

Operating systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers. For large systems, the operating system makes sure that different programs and users running at the same time do not interfere with each other. The operating system is also responsible for security, ensuring that unauthorized users do not access the system. Operating systems provide a software platform on top of which other programs, called application programs, can run.
