Michael, Alas no. We did the import using VMX2vhd on the internet. We don't run SCVMM here.

New VMs are working a treat, and certainly Hyper-V seems far more responsive than our VMWare based setup. However existing VMWare based VMs are proving an issue. While the VM's have been imported to Hyper-V without any problems it would appear that the HAL of the VMWare VMs have all been set to 'Standard PC' at some point during the installation of the guest OS (all Windows 2003). In order to install the Hyper-V tools we need to be running a ACPI based HAL. My question is this; is there a way in Windows 2003 to move from a Standard PC based HAL to an ACPI based HAL ? I know that MS don't support it (at least from what i can see on the web), but is there a way to hack a solution to it ? The only option we have at the moment is to re-install the guest OS's but that would mean a lot of work and possibly re-config of the apps running on them.
