How to Use Stand-alone Media with the Configuration Manager P2V Migration Toolkit

The Stand-alone Media Migration Process and the Rehost Wizard

Before You Start

Information that You Need for the Rehost Wizard

To start the stand-alone media

1. Boot the server from the stand-alone media. The Rehost Wizard starts. On the Welcome page, click Next.

2. If no errors are displayed on the Preflight Checks page, click Next.

   Note

   The wizard runs a series of prerequisites checks in the background that ensure that your system meets the basic requirements for migration. If an error is displayed on the Preflight Checks page, you must fix it before proceeding.

3. On the New Computer Details page, specify the following settings, and then click Next.

   - In the **Computer name** box, enter a name for the new computer.
   
     <div class="alert">
   
   
     > [!IMPORTANT]
     > <P>Ensure that the new computer name that you enter for the physical computer is not the same as the original so that when the wizard rehosts the site server in a virtual machine (VM), you will not have a name collision with the virtual instance.</P>
   
   
     </div>
   
   - In **Network Details**, enter the domain or workgroup that the computer will join.
   
   - If the computer will be joined to a domain, in **Domain Join Credentials**, provide a user name and password with permission to join a computer to this domain.
   

4. On the Administrator Information page, specify the following settings, and then click Next.

   - In **Administrator Password**, type the local administrator password, and then type it again to confirm.
   
   - In **Administrator User Accounts**, enter one or more user accounts, separated by semi-colons, that you want the task sequence to add to the Local Administrators Group.
   

5. On the Target Drive page, select the drive where you want the task sequence to install Windows Server 2008 R2, and then click Next.

   Warning

   All data on the drive is deleted when the operating system is installed.

6. On the Drives to Virtualize page, ensure that you select the following drives, and then click Next.

   - All drives where files related to Configuration Manager 2007 reside
   
   - The drive where the current operating system is installed

     <div class="alert">
   
   
     > [!WARNING]
     > <P>Do not save the VHD to a drive you selected to virtualize or to the drive you selected for the operating system.</P>
   
   
     </div>
   
   - In **File Save Credentials**, enter the user or service credentials with permissions to create and save the VHD to the location that you specified.
