Few weeks back I was scheduled with a task to migrate several Citrix XEN virtualized Servers onto vMWare ESXi hosts. I researched a little bit and all I could find in those few minutes is to threat the machines like physical ones and convert with the vMWare Converter Standalone. If I just knew how bad It will turn out to be on the migration day I could have saved me at least some embarrassment while on the client side…..

Servers used:
Citrix Xen Server 7.2
vMWare Vsphere ESXi 6.0

Migrating machine: Windows Server 2008 R2
