Exchange 2010 on Server 2008 Ent running on Hyper-V--snapshots taken...want to merge...is that ok?
I have an Exchange 2010 Server on Server 2008 Enterprise running on Hyper-V...I had taken a couple of snap shots and have deleted them...but I'm not sure if I should allow the merge process take place. Yes it is a domain controller and MS doesn't support snapshots on said config...but it is running fine and I'm not restoring to a snapshot...just merging them back into the original vhd. From what i can understand or decipher i feel that merging would be ok...just not restoring back to a snapshot...just want some confirmation.
Thanks,
Roland!

@ Radweld...Im not reverting...so I've deleted the snapshots out of the Hyper-V console...so allowing it to merge should bring the VHD current so it will run only on the VHD instead of the VHD and the AVHD...right???

Yes as Radweld said the original virtual hard disk will be updated once if you delete the snapshots.
thank you!
Also im did same for many servers in past few years(single DC) and i didnt really find big problems.
As you said ms wont support but its very handy in some times.
Afaik you can go ahead with your plan..
