I have to admit that I find this KB article<\/a> and support statement to be quite baffling.  It states that:<\/p>\n

Moving a virtual machine (VM) from a Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V host to a Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V host is not a supported scenario under any circumstances. 
When you try import a VM that is exported from a Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V host into a Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V host, you receive the following error message:  <\/p>\n

Hyper-V did not find virtual machines to import from the location <folder location<\/var>>.
The operation failed with error code ‘32784’.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I am going to raise this with the product group. I see it as a genuine issue because anyone doing an upgrade-migration will require a rollback plan that will work and is supported<\/em>.<\/p>\n

You can move a VM from a Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V host to a Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V host. This is a supported scenario and cane even be done with zero downtime using Cross-Version Live Migration.<\/p>\n
