    Hi Guys,

    Quick question.

    I have exported the Virtual machine from my old server to my new location. When I view the folder the files are visible but when I try to import them to my new location hyper V cant find the new VM in question.

    The VM I am importing is windows server 2008 r2 and the location is windows server 2012 r2.

    I am getting the following error

    Hyper V did not find virtual machines to import from location F:\Test\gtlvm03

    Thanks in advance

    are you using sysprep to do this?

    Hyper V

    Hyper-V has a Feature buildin to Export the VM with its configuration. So the right steps would be:

    1. Shutdown the VM on the current physical Server

    2. Export the VM to an external drive

    3. Copy to the new physical Server

    4. Import the VM in Hyper-V on the new Server

    5. Boot the VM on the new Server

    I followed these steps
