Connecting to Active Virtual Machines

AdminStudio 2022 R2 SP1 | 24.01 | Automated Application Converter

When the Automated Application Converter is connected to a virtual machine and it is performing repackaging, you can use Remote Desktop to open that virtual machine directly from the Automated Application Converter interface to check on the progress of the repackaging run.

To open a virtual machine from the Automated Application Converter interface:

1. Add virtual machines to your project file, as described in Adding Virtual Machines Using the Virtual Machine Import Wizard.
2. Begin a conversion as described in Using the Application Conversion Project Wizard to Perform an End-to-End Conversion or Performing a Conversion Using the Application Conversion Wizard.
3. Open the Machines tab or the Packages tab.
On the Machines tab, right-click on a machine that is currently performing repackaging. The machine will have a status of Running (), which means that the Automated Application Converter has connected to the virtual machine and the GuestAgent.exe is running.
On the Packages tab, right-click on a package that is currently being repackaged on a virtual machine. The package will have a status of Running ().
4. On the shortcut menu, select Connect to Machine. The virtual machine opens in a Remote Desktop window.

Tip:If you have selected a package that has a status of Running but which does not require repackaging, the Connect to Machine selection will be disabled.
