Hi

As you know Windows server 2003 is not officialy supported with AHV or MOVE but using the following link I was able to migrate a VM with Windows Server 2003 from an old vCenter to a new AHV cluster. 

https://www.vmwaremine.com/2019/01/24/migrate-windows-2003-x86-to-nutanix-ahv/#sthash.8hpeCflP.T3i44mTW.dpbs

That being said, after migrating it thw VM works fine but I have a question regarding VMware tools and Nutanix Guest tools.
 
1. Is it mandatory to remove the VMware tools from the migrated VM or is it just a “aesthetic” matter?

2. Is it mandaroty to install Nutanix Guest Tools? I mention this cause I wasnt able do to this error when loading the NGT CDROM ISO:​​​

 


 

Thanks
