*grins*  Seems like I’m not the only one having fun with on-the-sly P2Vs. Stick out tongue

I’ve been experimenting with using VMware Converter to P2V into Microsoft Virtual Server.  I know the tool was never designed to do this.  It is something that appeals to me as I know there are lots of people out there that maintain both VMware Server and Microsoft Virtual Server environments — yes, at the same time and have a genuine need to migrate BOTH ways.  I’ve been having my own mixed results/successes/failures (actually I’ll blog it tomorrow) and looks the guys at VMtoolkit have come to the rescue *again*.

Dave over at VMtoolkit has got VMWare Converter and Vmdk2Vhd playing nicely, a snippet from his post is below:

As a few folks on our forums have noted, there was a problem getting VMDK’s produced via VMWare Converter to be read into our Vmdk2Vhd tool. Well, I’m happy to report that we found the issue and Vmdk2Vhd is now converting those now without issue. The download has been updated to version 1.0.13, so grab an updated copy and give it a try.

The big holdup in getting through this problem was actually getting VMWare Converter to just do it’s job so we’d have something to test against. After spending what seemed to be like forever testing a number of different machines we finally came across one laptop that would actually P2V correctly. I guess there are a number of users having problems and the strange thing is that these problems seemed to crop up somewhere between beta and release. Regardless, we made it through and got Vmdk2Vhd updated and all is well on the playground once again.. for a few seconds at least.

I’ll give an update tomorrow, thanks again to the guys at VMtoolkit.com
