I’m not really looking to convert the VDI VMs themselves, I’m looking at what’s
required to duplicate the ESX hosts in Hyper-V.

I recently used the MS VMConverter tool to move half a dozen VM’s from an ESXi
4.x infrastructure to Hyper-V.
The GUI tool didn’t like the thin-provisioned disks, so I didn’t get the actual
machine definition to convert as it choked and backed out. But the associated
Powershell cmdlets converted the vmdk’s to vhdx’s just fine. Added them as
disks to newly provisioned Hyper-V VMs and they booted right up. A little
network tweaking as a result of the VMWare tools removal, and I was in business.

Use the Starwinds v2v converter. Works awesome to move from ESXi to Hyper-V

You left out Emergent Online, then Provision Networks, then Quest, then Dell
and Wyse is in there somewhere.

Anyone out there proficient in both VMware and Hyper-V who can point me at any
good docs on doing a migration? I’ve got a specific application I’m
considering moving to Hyper-V to help stretch the life of our VDI solution. We
will eventually have to change I’m sure, but migrating it may be a stopgap and
I’ve got the extra hardware at the moment. In particular I’m weak on the
networking aspects of Hyper-V.
