A method and system for migrating a plurality of physical desktop machines to a virtual desktop infrastructure is described. Physical machines are discovered on a computer network using at least one network search criteria using a tool module. User data is then gathered from the discovered physical machines. A virtual disk image file is created for each user of the discovered physical machines. The virtual disk image file contains user specific data collected from the discovered physical machines. A destination pool of virtual machines is selected and a virtual machine in the destination pool is configured for each of the users of the discovered physical machines. The configured virtual machines include an attached user data disk (UDD) backed by a corresponding virtual disk image file. A user can then remotely access their assigned configured virtual machines.
