Migrate physical Windows 2008 server to VMware ESXi machine

I have a physical windows 2008 server which I want to move to a vmware virtual machine.  This machine is a domain controller

I have tried using the vmware conversion tool, however when I get to the last page of the wizard it wants me to put in new details for the machine name, owner, license details, security ID and domain details.   Since this is a domain controller I dont want to do this - I just want to clone it completely (as is) to the esxi machine as a VM.

Can someone tells me how I can avoid having to update all the machine details.
