Virtual Machine Converter
Cross Platform Migration https://www.pass4sureexam.com/70-412.html
Microsoft VM Converter Converts and Deploys Virtual Machines from VMware hosts to
Hyper-V
Converts the virtual disks Converts the memory, virtual processor configuration, adds network interface
Supports conversion of Virtual Machines from:
VMware vSphere 4.1 (if managed by vCenter 4.1) VMware vSphere 4.1 VMware vSphere 5.0
Creates Snapshot before uninstallation for easy fallback
Uninstalls VMware tools prior to conversion Scriptable command-line interfaces Wizard-driven GUI
