I have a windows server 2003 box that I want to virtualize for free if possible. My understanding is that VMware's ESXi is free. Is there a free way to create the image? What are the steps necessary to do this?
We offer open-source (Linux/Unix) virtual machines (VDIs) for VirtualBox, we install and make them ready-to-use VirtualBox images for you. From here you can download and attach the VDI image to your VirtualBox and use it. We offer images for both architectures 32bit and 64bit, you can download for free for both architectures. Dec 29, 2014 - Find out below links and VDI providers where you can download and use pre installed Operating Systems for Oracle VirtualBox on Windows. I am running Windows XP Home and would like to run a virtual machine of XP, Server 2003, or Windows 7. Where can I find a VM image to download? The only XP image I've found only works on Windows 7. Where can I find a Windows VM image?

You want to use either VMware Converter Standalone or Visioncore vConverter to P2V your current boxes. The process isn't all that difficult - you'll need to:

I think that VMware vCenter Converter Standalone 4.0.1 is free (have to admit I've only used the spendy one sorry).

If you want to avoid future limitations due to not being able to run the full version, it might be worth checking out VirtualBox. It doesn't have VMWare's full feature set but it's free software, and provides the bulk of the functionality you'd look for: snapshots, adding/removing devices, mapping share drives, etc. That being said, I've never tried to convert a functioning physical server into a virtual machine of any variety, so I'm not sure how well it would work for your specific use case.

A thing to consider is the Windows 2003 license. As far as I understand, OEM licenses are NOT capable to run on a VM.

The hardware is pretty much ancient. You won't get drivers for that card.

Use 2003 at your own risk. End of life this month, etc.
