V2V - Converting VMware VM to Hyper-v

Converting your W2K3 from vmware to hyper-v using V2V from 5Nine


RDP to server
uninstall vmware tools
shutdown
Use v2v from 5nine
Follow the prompts as required, once it completes the conversion
power up hyper-v vm
insert intergration services setup disk
crtl+esc to load start menu
r to open Run
cmd to open dos window
D:\support\x86\setup.exe    this will install the Hyper-V tools
reboot
Login again
everything should be fine

You may need to resetup the IP address, I am using DHCP so not sure how this is affected.

I did a Windows 2008 vmware server using V2V from 5Nine and it went like this.

RDP to server

shutdown
Use v2v from 5nine
Follow the prompts as required, once it completes the conversion
power up hyper-v vm
insert intergration services setup disk
install the Hyper-V tools
reboot
Login again
Uninstall Vmware tools
reboot

Login again
everything should be fine
