Christian Saborío's Blog

The blog deals mostly with problems and their respective solutions that I find on day to day basis at my current workplace. Most of the issues so far deal specifically with Virtualization (mostly Microsoft related), 64-bit migration, and Windows 2003 issues. Many of the problems I have faced in various projects have been solved by reading someone else's blog. This is an effort to pay back and hopefully someone will be able to solve some of their problems by reading something within these pages.

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.
