Thanks, I appreciate the response. I had a bad USB drive which I was using to transfer install .ISOs to the VM storage host, which was causing the .ISO to become corrupted. Once I downloaded a new .ISO and
transferred it, everything worked fine. I’m in the process of adding the VMWare tools to the server, and updating the network card driver after that. Thanks again!

Hi John,
My experience has been similar to Oscar’s. I have been running VMware for about 9 years and have never had an issue that I would consider critical.
Depending on how you have your VMware infrastructure setup, pay special attention to the VMware tools Time sync and whether or not you need to synchronize time with the VM host or not.
Happy to talk more offline if needed.
Take care.

In my experience going from Windows server to VMWare has been a piece of cake.
I converted about 15 servers and never had a problem.
I am thinking in "advice" but I can not think in any issues that I had.
