For this to work you have to make sure that the destination VM has a different name than the source. I've been using VMware Converter for cloning VMs across ESX servers in the absence of vCenter.

Interesting option if you don't want additional software installed in the VM. Unless I missed it above, another option (if you have the license) is to use the cold clone ISO provided by VMware.

Also, you have to install Platespin on a Windows server (VC or another server?). Yes, the method described in this post may not provide an automated solution like PowerConvert, but the price is right! ;) Mark,

Install the Portability Suite and migrate V2V concurrently instead of visiting and installing software on every VM you plan to migrate. When you discover your project's complexity is beyond the amount of time you were planning to commit, PlateSpin can help you reduce the migration window and lessen the risk by automating these migrations.
