| | Re: Best P2V Option I've used Acronis, and it works, but I'd suspect it would be a bit slow for 9 machines. I haven't had much time to play with the current beta of SCVMM, but it is reputed to work for this. If so, that would probably be my first shot, especially with nine machines to do. I was very impressed with the first version of SCVMM, and will probably be implementing it here just as soon as it releases... -- Charlie. http://msmvps.com/blogs/xperts64 http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/charlie.russel "John Garrett" <JohnGarrett@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:2D97D224-8359-4521-999E-33912C88C1FD@xxxxxx Quote: >I am planning to virtualize approximately 9 physical servers into Hyper-V, > and am curious about what peolpe recommend as the best P2V options that > they > have worked with.

| | Re: Best P2V Option Thanks Charlie. These do not all need to be done at one time, so I might look at the Acronis solution. As for SCVMM, do you know if the current beta release that is available for download works with the full version of Hyper-V that is now available, or does it only work for the final RC candidate? Also, anyone else have any recommendations on what has worked for them? Thanks again.

| | Re: Best P2V Option John - You may want to look at this as well concerning the SCVMM 2008 Beta.....many of us are still getting the same error and have heard nothing from Microsoft. http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/...0278&SiteID=17 "John Garrett" wrote: Quote: > Thanks Charlie.

| | Re: Best P2V Option It is supposed to work with the RTM version of Hyper-V (there was a separate download that came out a bit after the first beta/CTP release that was required, but that covered both the RC and the RTM.). As I said - I honestly haven't had time to play with it, so at this point, I'm waiting until the RTM is available, which should be shortly. -- Charlie. http://msmvps.com/blogs/xperts64 http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/charlie.russel "John Garrett" <JohnGarrett@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:046EDFA5-F3E2-4060-82C1-63A809650E97@xxxxxx Quote: > Thanks Charlie.
