Migrating Hyper-V Virtual Machines – Migration and Deployment (Part 10 of 19)

  • Artikkeli

Great evaluation links HERE!One of the issues some of you will have to address when moving from Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2 will be the migration of your virtualized machines onto the newer Hyper-V in Windows Server 2012. 

The good news is that you won’t have to re-build or recreate machine configurations.  In fact, it’s a fairly straightforward import at worst. 

In Part 10 of our “Migration and Deployment” series, my friend (and newest member of our team) Tommy Patterson provides an article describing just how it’s done.

Have you done this migration yet? Have you even bothered to try out Windows Server 2012 ? What about the free Microsoft Hyper-V Server ? What do you think?

    I disagree with the author regarding admins not wanting to do an in place upgrade. If it's supported, many will prefer that if the only role the machine is server is as an Hyper-V server.

    Thanks for the comment Tom, I think what I meant was "many" admins especially those that inherited environments from past admins, or see Server 2012 as new technology that opens many doors would feel that a fresh install would be preferable.  Thanks for calling this out, I will look to reword it a bit to be more clear.
