When you say install folders and configuration folders, do you mean the VHDs?<br />
Are you recommending screenshots of the Hyper-V configuration?<br />
<br />
Ideally I'd like to build a new hyper-v machine and attach the VM's. &nbsp;Woud this work?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

Yes, it will work. I mean the default folders where you put all the VM configuration files, VHDs, and the application folders. You need not only the VHD files, but also the XML configuration files as well.

If you want to rebuild the VMs from scratch, and set all the memory, disk, processor types, and other settings, you can do that as well. The XMLs will just save you time and bring back the original configuration.

I would like to re-install my server 2008 r2 hyper-V. &nbsp;My VHD's are on a separate volume and drive. &nbsp;<br />
Is it possible to install a new server 2008 r2 Hyper-V server and just mount the VHDs? &nbsp;The other VHDs are 2 DCs and a Exchange Server 2010.<br />
My current server Hyper-V is corrupt and I don't know if I can backup just the Hyper-V server from my backups.<br />

Microsoft Virtual Server was a virtualization solution that facilitated the creation of virtual machines on the Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows Server 2003 operating systems. Virtual machines are created and managed through a web-based interface that relies on Internet Information Services (IIS) or through a Windows client application tool called VMRCplus. Features included Linux guest operating system support, Virtual Disk Precompactor, symmetric multiprocessing (SMP), x64 host operating system support, the ability to mount virtual hard drives on the host machine and additional operating systems support, including Windows Vista, and a volume shadow copy writer.
