Tools for P2V conversion

Hi

We completed the implementation of VMM 2012 R2 and looking for the best option to convert some of our physical servers to VMs. Earlier we used Disk2Vhd and now it seems MS Virtual Machine convertor 3.0 is better than D2V. Please let us know the expert's recommendation based on your experiance

Thanks in A

Hi,

in my opinion the Disk2VHD utility had only one advantage, compared to other tools - it snapshotted the machine, while it was running. The Virtual Machine converter 3 has this capability also, so I personally would prefer it.

Hi Laljeev,

it should't be a Problem. You have the following requirements:

Install Microsoft Virtual Machine Converter
