Migrate virtual machines from a VMware environment to Hyper-V in Windows Server 2012 using a free, simple, stand-alone tool

In case you haven’t seen this yet, Microsoft Virtual Machine Converter Solution Accelerator (MVMC) is a free Microsoft-supported, stand-alone solution for the IT pro or solution provider who wants to convert VMware-based virtual machines and disks to Hyper-V-based virtual machines and disks.

This stand-alone solution allows you to invoke the virtual machine conversion through the command-line interface for those of you that prefer the non GUI interface and this will also allow you to integrate this into datacenter automation workflow tools such as Microsoft System Center 2012 – Orchestrator, or you can use the wizard-driven GUI and follow a few simple screens where user input is required. The solution is easy to download, install, and use.
