I performed a VMARE P2V Conversion ealier in the week on a SBS2003R2 Server and have nothing but issues. I need to reactivate the physical machine. There is not a lot of data on it that has changed but would like to keep it simple. I am hoping I can just shutdown the VM, mount the VMDK in a second vm as a second hdd. Start up the physical, shutdown all exchange services, backup the exchsrv folder, and then move the exchsrv folder from the VMDK to the Physical and restart the services. Probably not that easy, but I am hoping. The locations of the DB's should not change, just the contents.
Any thoughts?
