Convert A PC to a Virtual Machine for a Mac

For the Mac guys that have to use a PC at work on Active Directory, a good alternative is create a Windows Virtual Machine that runs on the Mac. If the Mac is your personal machine, get the ok from your network administrator first. Once that is done, download VMware vCenter Converter Standalone from this link
https://www.vmware.com/tryvmware/index.php?p=converter . You have to create a VMWare account to download software. Next you need to to download VMWare Fusion for the Mac to run virtual machines. Here is the link http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion/overview.html . Install both of the applications. I will post very soon a more detailed view of the process. I just finished helping someone do this and it is working flawlessly so far. Good Luck!
