P2V a Linux guest to Hyper-V is not supported by Microsoft. (Nor I would recommend)

My experience was not pleasant with the two stage conversion because this method requires extensive amount of downtime after the vmware conversion -
Downloading the vmdk from ESX datastore, converting it to vhd, and lastly copying it back to the hyper-v server. (Unless you running it directly on the hyper-v server)
