Dismount Exchange Databases when P2V
Hello,

When you will move your machine from Physical to Virtual , Definately with the help of an image of the physical machine and in that image if the exchange stores are dismount , then the system will take a snapshot image of the server with the database with cleanshutdown mode. And if it is mounted and image is taken chances are there of an image with the dirty shutdown in processed, will create a lot of difficulty.
Hope this helps

Is it risky?- Not at all
How it will effect if I will leave it as is? - Good if nothing happens but if corrupt or dirty state then issues my friend
