Export hyper-v guest

Recommended Posts


I want to move a hyper-v vm to another machine but can't find the export function.

As described in this article I should find the function under action menu; http://blogs.msdn.com/b/virtual_pc_guy/archive/2008/08/26/hyper-v-export-import-part-1.aspx

I can't find it there.

Maybe it is not there when the VM is running..... :whistle:

Note that exporting via the UI and via powershell do NOT do the same thing, and exporting from the UI isn't quite a full export, unfortunately. If you want to do a complete export and import like the "old" Hyper-V on Server 2008, you have to use powershell to do the export.

If you're not comfortable or familiar with powershell and need to do a complete export (you don't always need to, hence the change), someone has written a nice set of powershell cmdlets to assist:

If you've sysprep'ed the machine before moving it, you should be OK. If you have a MAK key and have run out of activations, though, you need to contact the clearinghouse phone number to get the activation limit increased. This is why pre-activating VMs that are going to be re-used is a bad idea ;).
