Re: Go back to virtual server 2005

One way is a V2V migration using tool like VSMT or SCVMM 2007/2008.

Stripping out the integration components, moving the files back to the VS
2005 server, and installing the virtual machine additions should work, but I
have seen more than a few people state they have had a few problems with
this. Worth a try however. Since you are working with a copy of the VHD
file the cost is low if it doesn't work.

Why are you going back?
