How can I migrate my VM's from Host 1 to Host 2 and ensure that the VMs don't attempt to automatically migrate back to their preferred host?

Nothing in Hyper-V is automatic. Ever.
Automating Hyper-V requires System Center.

I've done the shared nothing migrations before. Once everything was moved, the original would be removed from Host 1.
Don't have a clue about a proper cluster tho.

They will never migrate back unless you have forced them. You live migrate and it will just move the VMs to the other Host until you moved them.

Migration? It's definitely not automatic in the least.
Planned failover? There's a checkbox to uncheck if you don't want automatic reverse replication and the VM to automatically start up. Could that be what you meant?

Of course it is. In an actual cluster. Which involves System Center Configuraiton Manager (SCCM).
@DustinB3403 used the word cluster, but he does not have one.

Oh shit, I missed that it was about a cluster. I was thinking Hyper-V Manager, right-click, live migration. Totally spaced there.

Yeah, that was my point, it is not a cluster.
