VMware to Hyper-V Migrations

Hi,

I’m an OpenText Solution Consultant specialising in OpenText Migrate and Availability. I’m currently writing an article covering the different methods of migrating servers from Broadcom VMware to Microsoft Hyper-V, and I’d be really interested in which methods you currently use?

OpenText Migrate is able to migrate live Windows and Linux Machines with only a few minutes of downtime, but I know some customers who can tolerate hours of downtime will use alternative strategies:

1. Microsoft Virtual Machine Converter - I believe it went End of Life in 2017
2. Microsoft Sysinternals VHDX2VHD - copy the VMDK and convert it to VHDx
3. Third party tools than automate the VHDX2VHD tool with a GUI
4. Backup from VMware and Restore to Hyper using existing backup and recovery tools

I’d be really interested to know what strategies you’re all using, and how reliable they are.
