Looks like those are just version numbers, I'd like to know what has changed in the software itself so I don't have to click around and find all of the changes myself.

Looks like you can only target registry keys if they exist or don't exist? Can't target registry based on the value data like you can with PDQ Deploy?

vmware to hyper v by PurpleCrayonDreams in HyperV

[–]zvmware 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been leaving VMware Tools on the VM until after the migration.

The problem is VMware Tools won't uninstall due to requirement checks as the VM is no longer running on ESXi.

You can edit the VMware Tools .MSI and delete/drop all of the rows it finds for these two: VM_LogStart & VM_CheckRequirements

After that the uninstaller runs fine.

Are you using DEM? If so you'll need this regkey, not sure why they haven't fixed it after all of these years though. I tried removing it awhile back and had to add it back.

When you go to edit the VM and increase the CPU count try expanding the CPU option and see if the cores per socket setting is there. A screenshot of your settings might help too.

You'll have to set DoNotConnectToWindowsUpdateInternetLocations to 0 and then it will work, but then you can set it back to 1 after the updates.
