About this tag
The tag 'cbt' on WindowsForum.com refers to change-block tracking (CBT), a technology used in virtual machine migration. Recent discussions focus on Microsoft's new VM Conversion extension for Windows Admin Center, which leverages CBT to enable agentless, low-downtime migrations from VMware vCenter/ESXi to Hyper-V. The tool supports bulk conversions of up to ten VMs, automatic boot-type mapping, and a two-phase replication workflow. Topics include setup, licensing, security tradeoffs, and operational planning for enterprise IT teams consolidating platforms or preparing for hybrid cloud. The tag covers practical migration strategies and the role of CBT in minimizing cutover downtime.
