VMWare Workstation 11.x to Hyper-V 2008(R2)/2012(R2) (VMDK to VHD)

Recent i had to move virtual machines from VMWare Workstation 11.x to Microsoft Windows Server 2012R2 Hyper-V. This is a .VMDK to .VHD conversion tasks.

I started searching on the internet and could not found what i wanted.
I want to stand-alone convert virtual machines and not any tools
that you start from Vcenter server or Hyper-V server. I did not want to
use any plug-in either.

I found a way to do this.
I works fine !
All VM's are spinning on my Hyper-V Core server with no problems

Preperations:
Step 1. VMWare VCenter Converter
Download from: http://www.vmware.com/products/converter/
Install on your computer

Stap 2. StarWind Software V2V
Download from: https://www.starwindsoftware.com/v2v-converter-download
Install on your computer

The actual conversion steps:

Step 1.
Write down the virtual networks you created in VMWare Workstation
and create them in Hyper-V.
Bridged = external
Local = Private

Step 2.
Write down the virtual machine settings in VMWare Workstation 11.x
- CPU cores etc.
- Number of harddisks
- Harddisk size

Step 3.
Start VMWare Vcenter Converter
Import virtual machine from VMWare Workstation 11.x
Convert it into a VMWare Workstation 8.x virtual machine
Do not be scared if it says that it takes one hour to convert.
Mostly it is ready after 15 - 20 minutes.
Do not try to convert ESXi VM's. They are not going to work on Hyper-V !

Step 4.
Start StarWind V2V Convert
Open your VMWare Workstation VMDK file from the previous step
and convert it in a Virtual PC dynamic disk
We are going to use only the virtual disk and not the settings from the VM.

Step 5.
Create a new virtual machine in Hyper-V
and select the disk you created in step 2
Do not worry about iSCSI in VMWARE en IDE in Microsoft.
It works fine
Select dynamic memory while creating this new virtual machine

Step 6.
Start the VM in Hyper-V
First it has to install some things

Step 7.
Log in into the VM with a local account
Do not use any AD DS domain account at this moment
The best way is to login with the local administrator account

Step 8.
Uninstall VMWare Tools if installed
Install Microsoft Hyper-V Integration Services in to the VM (this updates)
Check the Windows Activation and take action if needed
