I have a 2008 R2 Hyper-V host. A couple of users have created VM's and the files for each are in different locations. I want to reorganize the file locations in a way that makes more sense. I have been playing with a test VM and changed the VHD and Snapshot folder locations and moved the &nbsp;VHD's and created a new snapshot. The VM appears to be working correctly but before I move a production VM and I wanted to make sure there wasn't anything else I should be doing.

Move Hyper-V VM files

I have a 2008 R2 Hyper-V host. A couple of users have created VM&#39;s and the files for each are in different locations. I want to reorganize the file locations in a way that makes more sense. I have been playing with a test VM and changed the VHD and Snapshot folder locations and moved the  VHD&#39;s and created a new snapshot. The VM appears to be working correctly but before I move a production VM and I wanted to make sure there wasn&#39;t anything else I should be doing.
