Converting Windows 2003 running VMWare VM into Hyper-V VM using MVMC
Hi,
I am trying to convert Windows 2003 Server running virtual machine "FS1_W2003-recovered" in VMWare ESXi server into Hyper-v virtual machine using Microsoft Virtual Machine Converter and have some questions:
(1) In Connection option screen, I am not sure if the message means or applies to my situation?
(2) In Connection option screen, why I can't select "On" for "Final state of source virtual machine"?
(3) In Summary Screen, should I be concerned about the warnings (1. OS not supported 2. having one USB device) ?
(4) In Completion screen, I see "Uninstall tools" on the 3rd line. I assume it will uninstall VMWare tools? If so, why does it do that? Will it alter or harm existing VMWare VM in any shape or form? This is where I CANCELLED the conversion because I was not sure what would happen to source VM.

If you are converting source machine that is ON, you need to connect to VM post conversion and uninstall VMware tools manually
If I recollect, final state of source VM after conversion would remains OFF only
about last not supported option, I am not sure why it is so since it is 2003 OS
In that you may need to use other tools like Disk2VHD etc
