Converting Vmware .VMDK to Hyper-V .VHD

What is the recommended way of doing this?

That's a shame. It's only 3 VM's we need to port across, but 2 of them should be simple enough to reinstall. The other is our automated build server which, by their nature, are very intricate to setup and get working "just so".
Bugger.

How much cash we talking though? These sort of companies tend to price themselves out of the Small Business market.

I would be willing to pay about £30 tops to convert this VM. But really it should be some little free console app.

Didn't realise SCVMM did this stuff. We have licenses for that. So problem solved then?

So... next question by the "doing this on the side" system admin...

This SCVMM tool... do I install this on the VM Host, on a VM Guest or just on my local PC?

We have one VM Host today. In January we will have a second.

So do we need to install SCVMM's server-side onto each VM Host?

OK. I think I will put it on a small VM Guest then. Don't like the idea of putting it on the VM Host raw metal as seems like a violation of separation of concerns and also the fact that no other VM Host will have it as well.
