Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. You deploy Microsoft System
Center 2012 Virtual Machine Manager (VMM). The network contains five physical servers. The servers
are configured as shown in the following table.
You plan to use VMM to convert the existing physical servers to virtual machines. You need to identify
which physical servers can be converted to virtual machines.
Which servers should you identify? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose all that
apply.)
A.
Server1
B.
Server2
C.
Server3
D.

Be careful, this is a trick question.
VMM P2V uses VHD files, which has a maximum size of 2040GB.
2GB is 2048, which means that disks of 2TB cannot be converted, since they are 8GB too big.
To use VHDX files which has support for >2040GB, you have to use MVMC instead, which is why VMM P2V has been removed from System Center 2012 R2.

I mean 2TB is 2048GB 🙂

Confirmed by the New-VHD powershell command, try and create a .vhd disk with SizeBytes set to 2TB, it will give an error about it being too big.

So, according to P2V requirements, is Server4 the only server that can be converted?, it is the only one that does not go beyond the 2040GB mark. isn’t it?
