| | Upgrate to Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V Hi, I have a Windows Server 2003 R2 Virtual Server 2005 Enterprise Edition R2 SP1 with many Guests. I will upgrate the Box to Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V. Can I simple Upgrate the Operation System ? Will Hyper-V Role run with Virtal Server 2005 R2 SP1 during transition time ? Thank's |

Thank's could go wrong. I would definitely install 2008 R2 and Hyper-V on a different box and test migrating the vms one at a time. Even that has plenty of traps. |

| | Re: Upgrate to Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V Hi, The path to upgrade your Windows Server+Virtual Server is: - Uninstall Virtual Server Adittions from all of you virtual machines, and turn off all of them - Uninstall Virtual Server from Windows Server - Upgrade your Windows Server 2003 to 2008 - Install and configure Hyper-V - Create new Hyper-V virtual machines for each Virtual Server virtual machine and choose the .vhd file when necessary - Turn on each hyper-v virtual machine and install the Integration Services Sometimes the new hyper-v virtual machines ask you for activation. I hope this information can help you "MV" <mv@newsgroup> escribió en el mensaje de noticias:evK6#XFXKHA.4780@newsgroup Quote: > thanks, but I have only one box, all .vhd and .vmc reside on D: Partition. > What you thing about Installing Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V and then > "import" the vms ? will this works ?
