Rob, I just used vConverter for P2V and V2V (21 servers) to ESX for a customer migration and it went OK. Regardless of your hypervisor, make sure you understand the difference in the synching options (hot vs. cold and online vs. offline) as that was the one hurdle I had. Once I got my mind around the terminology and understood the pros\cons, it rocked...

Is anyone using vConverter from Vizioncore for P2V conversions to Hyper-v? We aren't able to purchase SCVMM yet, but we have some servers we want to virtualize now. Looking at the prices on CDW, it looks like the price may be right. What has your experience been with it? Also, along these lines, I was considering downloading and installing the eval version of SCVMM. I thought I could use that to virtualize these servers, but my manager was concerned that once the eval expired the VHD's would "expire" as well causing the VM's not to boot. I assume this is not the case, but I thought maybe someone may have a definitive answer. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
