Description

Information about a virtual machine computer's hardware, disks, and operating system is stored in the VMX computer configuration object.

A VMX computer configuration object is used by the New-SCV2V cmdlet when it converts a VMware-based virtual machine deployed on an ESX host to a virtual machine deployed on a Windows-based Hyper-V host.
