    Moving Virtual Machine from Hyper-v to Virtual Server 2005

    I need to ask if it is possible to move a virtual machine from Hyper-V to
    Virtual Server 2005. And if it is what are the steps.

    Should be. Uninstall ICs. Remove VM from Hyper-V. Copy VHDs to VS machine.
    Create new machine in VS, attach drives you moved, re-do the networking,
    start it up.

    What won't move: Any VM that is 64-bit. Any VM that requires >1 Proc or >3.5
    GB of RAM.

    Also have a look at VMC to Hyper-V Import Tool Available at
    http://blogs.technet.com/matthts/arc...available.aspx

    However do not forget to remove the VM Additions before moving the VHD from
    VS/VPC to HV.

    Hope this helps!
