  1. Select a container, and then click the Tether tab.

  2. Optional. Click the Use Tether check box to enable Tether.

  3. To test the connection to the source machine, click the Test Connection button. If credentials fail or pre-requisites have not been met for tethering, an error message is displayed. You can view the Audit Report in the installation directory to determine what the problem is.

  4. Run an Audit of the source and destination machine by clicking the Run Audit button. If credentials fail or pre-requisites have not been met for tethering, an error message is displayed at the bottom of the Administrative Console window. To scroll through messages, click the Back or Forward button on the left or right of the message bar. You can view the Audit Report by going to the Appliance Logs tab to determine what the problem is.

  5. Click the Find Applications button. VirtaMove retrieves all remote applications, services, and user/group account information and displays this information in the Source Products tab.

  6. In the Source Products tab, review the list of source applications.

  7. Select the product or products you want to migrate or de-select a product or products as appropriate. To select an IIS application, select Web Server (IIS). Before you attempt to migrate an IIS application, complete pre-requisites for IIS application migration. For information about pre-requisites and how to migrate an IIS application, see the Application Migration Guide. When you click away from the list in the Source Products tab, VirtaMove Tether automatically selects all user/group accounts, services, and executables associated with the installed application and displays these in the Source Services and Source Accounts tabs.

  8. Click the Pre-Populate button to migrate source products, services, users, and groups. If you have not yet activated your VirtaMove license key, you will now be prompted to do so. See https://virtamove.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/VDOC/pages/311033861/Activating+Your+VirtaMove+License?search_id=0d544967-62b1-4452-853b-b8da8e9d894f for information. Note that the Pre-Populate portion process may take some time. A window displays the status of the Pre-Populate process. You can cancel the process by closing the window at the top right of the window. Click the Close button to close the window when the process is complete.

  9. To start the selected application, click Dock button and then click the Launch Application button once the container is successfully docked.

  10. Click Save.
