Hello support,
I want to migrate my old Windows NT server with Mac OS X Desktop 11. The Parallels Transporter Agent (lowest Version I've found was Version 10) cannot be installed on the Windows NT 4 machine. I think I need a lower Version, maybe version 6 or 8 ? Where can I download this version ?

Kind regards,
Michael
 
Hello MichaelO7,
Parallels Transporter agent for Windows does not support Windows NT operating system as a source for migration, hence it cannot be installed. Thanks.
 
Hello Dhana,
the answer is easy, but cannot be the final solution, isn't it ?

I've investigate some more time with my problem and found the following solution for the migration of my WinNT 4 SP6a Domain Comtroller:

Working Solution including Network, Sound and Video driver:
1.) VMWare Converter 3.0.2 downloaded from here:
http://ftp.freenet.de/pub/filepilot..._converter/VMware-converter-3.0.2u1-62456.exe
-> Virtualize Physical NT machine with VMWare Converter
-> Increase Hardware Level of machine with any VMWare Fusion Version from 5 to 8 (I've set it to 6)
-> Open VMX-File with Parallels and Convert the machine to Parallels PVM

2.) Video Driver and Network Driver from your Homepage from here:
http://download.parallels.com/desktop/v5/en_us/parallels/update3/prl-tools-other.iso
-> Mount ISO in WinNT machine and install drivers manuell as usual under NT 4

3.) Sound Driver for Realtek AC97 for Windows NT 4.0 works, download for example from here:
http://download.pcgameshardware.de/asset/binaries/2013/01/NT4_A406.exe
-> Only run Installer

Result:
-> NT4 machines works fine under Parallels 11, exept Coherence mode, but that is ok for me...

Kind regards,
Michael
