VMware Hyper-V conversion
Hi there!

I am trying to work out an automated conversion mechanism migrating VMware to Hyper-V. I have been told that the best way to do so would be to write a short PowerShell script referring to Microsoft's MvmcCmdlet collection. However, my experience with PowerShell is fairly limited. This is what I have come up with so far:
Code:
Import-Module   "C:\Users\XXXX\Desktop\MvmcCmdlet.psd1"   ConvertTo -VirtualHardDisk: -SourceLiteralPath   "D:\XXXX\base.vmdk"    "D:\XXXX"-VhdType FixedHardDisk -VhdFormat Vhd

The error report says "No positional parameters found". What am I doing wrong?

Appreciate your feedback!
