Version 2.0 of the ultra-handy Disk2VHD has been released under the Windows Sysinternals banner. This means that the tool is free and unsupported. But damn, it is useful for P2V conversions.
The new version has added support for VHDX format virtual hard disks. It also:
… now supports WinRE volumes, can capture removable media, and includes an option to capture live volumes instead of relying on volume shadow copy (VSS).

Would this be the recommended way to do P2V if you are running VMM 2012 R2? Right now Microsoft’s solution is to do a conversion using VMM 2012 SP1 and their MVMC tool does not support it yet.
Yeah, I’d agree with that.
