Convert VMWare Virtual Hard Disks to VHD Format

Many people at Artinsoft use VMWare for their Virtualization needs.  This quickly became a hassle as the VMs that they were using that I needed could not be used in Virtual Server.  I just found out through this article that there is a new tool called the VMDK to VHD file converter.

I have not yet tested the tool, but soon I will be converting all the RedHat VMDK to VHDs and running them on our Virtual Server R2 SP1 (which fully supports Linux!). 

You can find the official link here, download it and let me know if you run into any issues!

As suggested in by Christian, I went ahead and downloaded the vmdk2vhd utility to convert virtual hard drives from VMWare’s VMDK format to Microsoft’s VHD format. To test it out, I also downloaded Red Hat Enterprise Linux trial virtual appliance from VMWare’s site, and ran the converter on it. These are my results.
