Ok, without real testing the 2 scripts as I would write them.
The first script
$tgtDs = Get-Datastore -Name DatastoreB
&{foreach($vm in Get-VM)){
Move-VM -VM $vm -Datastore $tgtDs -Confirm:$false
Shutdown-VMGuest -VM $vm -Confirm:$false
Remove-VM -VM $vm -Confirm:$false -DeletePermanently:$false
$vm | Select Name,@{N="VMX";E={$vm.ExtensionData.Config.Files.VmPathName}
}} | Export-Csv C:\vm-vmx.csv -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture
I use a CSV file to transfer the information from vCenter 1 to vCenter 2.
The 2nd script, to be run on vCenter 2 could look like this
$portgroup = Get-VirtualPortGroup -Name VLAN15
$tgtDs = Get-Datastore -Name NormalDS
Import-Csv C:\vm-vmx.csv -UseCulture | %{
$vm = New-VM -Name $_.Name -VMFilePath $_.VMX -VMHost (Get-Cluster -Name Cluster_1 | Get-VMHost | Get-Random) -Confirm:$false
Get-NetworkAdapter -VM $vm | Set-NetworkAdapter -NetworkName $portgroup.Name -Confirm:$false
Start-VM -VM $vm -Confirm:$false
Update-Tools -VM $vm
Shutdown-VMGuest -VM $vm -Confirm:$false
Set-VM -VM $vm -Version v8 -Confirm:$false
Start-VM -VM $vm -Confirm:$false
Invoke-VMScript -VM $vm -ScriptText "ipconfig /release; ipconfig /renew" -ScriptType Bat -GuestUser $user -GuestPassword $pswd
Move-VM -VM $vm -Datastore $tgtDs -Confirm:$false
}
You will have to update the datastore names and the portgroup name.
If you don't run this with an account that has access to the guest OS, you will have to give correct values to the $user and $pswd variables.
A word of advise, try out this procedure first with 1 test VM !
Just change the Get-VM in the 1st script somehtin like
&{foreach($vm in Get-VM -Name TestVM)){
