Scenario:

You have a vmdk file for Vmware and want to convert it to a Hyper-V compatible hard disk file such as vhd.

 

Solution:

Download Microsoft Virtual Machine Converter Solution Accelerator (4.3MB)
http://www.microsoft.com/en-au/download/details.aspx?id=34591

It works on Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012

Once installed, run the following:

In a command prompt window, go to the path to MVDC.exe (32bit is usually installed here by default – C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Virtual Machine Converter Solution Accelerator).

MDVC.exe ‘path to vmdk file’ ‘path to vhd file’

Example:

cd '.\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Virtual Machine Converter Solution Accelerator'
.\MVDC.exe 'D:\Temp\SERVER123.vmdk' 'D:\Temp\SERVER123.vhd'

Once your file is a vhd, you can easily import it into Microsoft Hyper-V and convert it to a vhdx.

 

• If you want to convert several machines at once, then look at the Migration Automation Toolkit.

The Migration Automation Toolkit is a collection of PowerShell scripts that will automate conversions using MVMC and it is back ended by a SQL instance (SQL Express will work). You can use it to convert several machines at once, on a single server – or scale it out and execute conversions on many servers at the same time.
