I need to get the VMWare Image of an installed Linux Server
Hello experts,
I have a server that I need the VMWare image of. I cannot install it from scratch and I need that server as it is. I made a few VMWare images of Windows systems with VMWare converter but I have no idea how (or if) I can do that with a (modified) Linux system without a user interface. Is there a way to do it from a Windows Server remotely?
Thank you

Congratulations!!! And Thanks :)
VMWare convertor will allow you to create a bootcd that you start the computer with, ensure you have an external USB HDD attached to the server you want to capture the image of. Boot to the CD and follow your nose - it should be fairly straight forward, this is VMWare afterall not Microsoft :)
Let us know how you get on,

Thanks Bart,
Have you ever tried something similar? Unfortunately I dont have the servers at ready right now to try what you suggested.
