Comment convert a Win2003 server to a Hyper-V Virtual Machine?

What is the easiest way to convert a Win2003 server to a Hyper-V Virtual machine?

Ideally, I'd like to use a backup tool to create an image across the network.

What is the best way to do this?

Microsoft SysInternals has a utility, Disk2Vhd, which will do this for you. You can run this on a live machine, and it can create a VHD file to an external location, such as a network drive. You can then copy this VHD to where it needs to live on the Hyper-V host, and create a new VM guest using that file.
