VMware converter with Windows Server 2008 R2

If you try to use vmconverter to import a VM from another virtual center you probably have seen the "unable to determine guest operating system" error.

There is an easy workaround. Change the OS on the VM that you are going to import to Windows 2008 64 BIT. Run the import. Then change it back after the import.

we were trying to do exactly the same yesterday, and can't find any solutions on the vmware communities, or Google. Until now...this works perfectly.

would it affect the OS after is converted?

i hope the future release of converter will support it

Very useful suggestion.

thanks
