Does Proxmox have any capability to provide virtual desktops similar to the View 4 product? VMware's ESX (not the i) product has this product that allows deployment of virtual images to thin clients.

We use a Dell server running ESX1 v4 and two OS – a 500GB Windows 2003 and a smaller SuSe Linux 11.1 server.
Round One
My first test was to restore a backup of the Windows server to the new Proxmox server. I had created a 500GB virtual Windows environment in the ESXi. Using the web...
I did the Linux conversion overnight. I just copied the two vmdk files to the 101 folder and registered them in the Proxmox browser window and it came to life instantly. All I need to do is rebuild the graphical server and it will be done. I'll try the Windows 2003 overnight tonight and let you...
Udo:
Thanks for the simple fix. I didn't notice the add hardware icon. I found that the Linux SCP did not complete resulting in an incomplete copy so I'm doing it again overnight.
Can you explain -
1 How the converted .qcow2 fits in this scenario?
2 Is the WORKSTATION version of...
Here's the update... I've noticed that when I review the hardware in each folder I find that under Unused disk images the vmdk files are listed. Only .raw files appear in the recognized hard disks section.
I used VMware WORKSTATION version of vmware-vdiskmanager. I could not find a server...
I've done a migration this weekend that doesn't work and am looking of ideas about what I missed.
I used FastSCP to copy the very large ...-flat.vmdk file to the Proxmox image folder where I had created a slightly larger .raw file.
I copied the smaller companion .vmdk file to my PC where I...
Thanks for the quick answer. Is there an instruction missing, to convert the VMware .vmdk file to the .raw format?
I used Fast SCP to move the single file to the Proxmox box as I could get the correct syntax for scp or cp. Can you let me know what it is?
Thanks again,
I have found that migration servers running under ESXi to be a tedious procedure. Unfortunately, neither VMware or Proxmox at the host level supports external USB drives.
It would be trivial to copy closed files from VMware to Proxmox and run a conversion utility, but I haven't found a way yet...
I'm working on two projects - moving a Windows 2003 and Suse 11 Linux server running under VMware ESXi and moving six Windows 2003 servers, each in own RAID 5 Dell server to one RAID 5 (or RAID 1 mirror IDE) under Proxmox.
My problem is that the VMware server can make an image of the Windows...
