Convert VMware virtual machines to Hyper-V Server

This article focuses on the use of Microsoft's official Microsoft Virtual Machine Converter tool to transform and migrate virtual machines from the VMware ESXi platform to the Microsoft Hyper-V Server platform. Currently the latest version of this tool is MVMC3.0. You can download it on the official Microsoft website and use it for free. The download links are as follows:

1. The bj-esxi-01 is a VMware ESXI5.5 server that is already installed and running virtual machine bj-vm-01 on it. The virtual machine is installed with VMware Tools, and in MVMC3.0, the VMware tools are automatically removed during the conversion of the virtual machine to the Hyper-V platform

17. MVMC3.0 Converting a virtual machine bj-vm-01 to a Hyper-V platform does not install the Hyper-V integration service and requires you to manually install

Virtual machines in VMware ESXi can be shut down and offline at the right time.

In converting and migrating virtual machines to Hyper-V, the amount of time it takes to determine the size of the source virtual machine, so that when you convert and migrate virtual machines into Hyper-V, you plan ahead to perform transformations and migrate virtual machines

In a VMware virtual machine transition to Hyper-V, in addition to Microsoft's Icrosoft virtual machines converter and system Center VM Manager, There are also a number of V2V tools available from Microsoft's partners. For example: Xtreme VM Migrator (described in System Center orchestrator), Vision Solutions doubletake Move, NetApp Project Shift, 5nine v2v Ea SY Converter etc, here no longer detailed in one by one.
