Import ovf and/or vmdk to Hyper-V

Question

I have an OVF and a VMDK file. It was exported from VMWare. How can I import that into a Hyper-V? I do not have access to the VMWare server. I don't have System Center - just Hyper-V Manager. Any ideas?

Answer 1

You can convert the OVF exported from VMware into a Hyper V host by using the Microsoft standalone software called Microsoft Virtual Machine Converter . You can download the OVF and convert it into Hyper V config folder which can be imported back into Hyper V. For further details, check this link : https://technet.microsoft.com/library/dn873998.aspx
