    Hello @Donte Murphy (Creative/DC) ,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Platform. Thank you for reaching out & hope you are doing well.

    As per our official doc, to migrate VMware VMs using VMware agent-based or agentless migration, ESXi hosts on which VMs are located must be managed by vCenter Server. If you don't have vCenter Server, you can migrate VMware VMs by migrating them as physical servers.

    If you have a VMWare ESXi environment without VCenter deployment/access, you can use Azure Migrate tool & migrate your VMWare machines as physical.
    Refer : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/migrate/migrate-support-matrix-physical-migration

    To migrate your VMWare machines as physical, please refer the below docs:

    Discover - Support for physical discovery and assessment in Azure Migrate - Azure Migrate | Microsoft Learn
    Then Assess - Azure VM assessments in Azure Migrate - Azure Migrate | Microsoft Learn
    Then Migrate - Migrate machines as physical servers to Azure - Azure Migrate | Microsoft Learn

    Kindly let us know if the above helps or you need further assistance on this issue.
