Control the Status of Windows Services During Conversion

You can change the starting mode of the source Windows services on the target virtual machine and stop the Windows services on the source machine during the conversion. Stopping some services on the source machine allows easier synchronization between the source and the target machine.

Procedure

1	On the View/Edit Options page, click Services in the left options pane.

The following tabs appear in the right panel:

Source Services

Contains a list of all services on the source machine.

Destination Services

Contains a list of all destination services.

2	On the Source Services tab, select the services to stop during the conversion.

Stop the appropriate services, such as Exchange service or SQL service, to ensure the least possible data loss.

3	On the Destination Services tab, select the relevant services and change their starting mode from the respective drop-down menus.

4	Select another option to set or click Next to view a summary of the conversion task.

Converter Standalone shuts down the source services at the beginning of the conversion and configures the destination services to start according to your settings.
