<div>
&quot;Specify localhost as source if you are running version 3.1 of MVMC on the same machine you are converting to a dedicated hyper-v host;&quot; &nbsp;---&gt; I don't understand this. Let me list what I entered into MVMC:<br />
1. Select a machine type: Physical machine conversion<br />
2. &nbsp;Physical machine &nbsp;Address: W2012R2.domain.local<br />
3. Username: domain\domain_admin_userna<wbr />me<br />
4. Scan System showed: OS version W2012R2<br />
5. Under Volume Configuration, System Reseeved and (C:) selected.<br />
6. Virtual Machine Name: W2012R2VM &nbsp; # of CPU: 1 &nbsp;RAM: 4GB<br />
7. &nbsp;Select Hyper-V host as the destination: Address: 192.168.1.169 &nbsp;Username: administrator<br />
8. Specify a path to store the converted virtual HD: \\192.168.1.169\Hyper-V\Vi<wbr />rtual Hard Disks<br />
9. Select a location on this machine(W2012R2) with enough free space for the converted virtual HD: E:\VHD (External USB)<br />
10. Specify which virtual switches: Intel Ethernet Controller xxx<br />
11. Summary: Source - W2012R2.domain.local &nbsp;Virtual Machine: W2012R2VM &nbsp;Destination: 192.168.1.169 &nbsp; Destination VHD path: \\192.168.1.169\Hyper-V\Vi<wbr />rtual Hard Disks<br />
<br />
&quot;otherwise try to open the SSL Certificate and add it to trusted root certificate &nbsp;authority. on the server that is taking the conversion&quot; --&gt; Can you be more specific?
</div>


<div>
I just tried IP address and it is working. I will post the result.
</div>


<div>
So no error message about certificate authority ?
</div>


<div>
Result: The error &quot;Certificate authority is invalid&quot; has been resolved by using IP address.

Certificate authority is invalid during Microsoft Virtual Machine Converter conversion

Hyper-V is a native hypervisor; it can create virtual machines on x86-64 systems and supersedes Windows Virtual PC as the hardware virtualization component of the client editions of Windows NT. A server computer running Hyper-V can be configured to expose individual virtual machines to one or more networks. Hyper-V Server supports remote access via Remote Desktop Connection. Administration and configuration of the host OS and the guest virtual machines is generally done over the network.

Hyper-V

Microsoft Virtual Server was a virtualization solution that facilitated the creation of virtual machines on the Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows Server 2003 operating systems. Virtual machines are created and managed through a web-based interface that relies on Internet Information Services (IIS) or through a Windows client application tool called VMRCplus. Features included Linux guest operating system support, Virtual Disk Precompactor, symmetric multiprocessing (SMP), x64 host operating system support, the ability to mount virtual hard drives on the host machine and additional operating systems support, including Windows Vista, and a volume shadow copy writer.

Microsoft Virtual Server

Windows Server 2012 is the server version of Windows 8 and the successor to Windows Server 2008 R2. Windows Server 2012 is the first version of Windows Server to have no support for Itanium-based computers since Windows NT 4.0. Windows Server 2012, now in its second release (Windows Server 2012 Release 2) includes Foundation, Essentials, Standard and Datacenter, and does not support IA-32 or IA-64 processors.
