<div>I agree with ryan, however i`ve got it working several times using the vmware converter.</div>
<div>I would not try risking it on a production system, unless you are able to shut it down, pull a disk, boot up, convert, shut down, put pulled disk back, and pull other disk, boot up and sync disks.</div>

<div>That way you avoid any potential issues caused by the plugin.</div>

<div>has anyone ever used VMware Converter to move your Production box to a VM for testing / upgrade testing? any issues I need to know about? </div>
<div> </div>
<div>my plan would be install the client plugin --> convert to VM --> uninstall the plugin --> reboot and then I have my live VM for testing. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Let me know if this is a good idea or not.</div>
