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.

agree with previous experts.
for offline conversion, DISK2VHD is the best way to go. moreover, i actually don't see any point for you to covert this VM online.
