Can I save 'versions' of a MS Virtual PC 2007 in another folder on my hard drive as a backup. Once I'm done with the 'live' version of the VM then copy the back file set back into the location of the 'live' VM.<br />
<br />
My problem is that when I restore the backup file set I have to contact my network administrators to put the VM back on the Active Directory network (Domain is unavailable when I try to Logon).<br />
<br />
Is this not possible or are we doing something wrong?<br />
<br />
And yes I know we could be using VMWare ;)

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
