Thanks Gareth,<br />

I just decommissioned the old server this evening. &nbsp;I haven't brought up the exchange server yet. &nbsp;Probably later tonight and the first thing I will do is reconfigure the NIC. &nbsp;I'll let you know.<br />

I was having some issues with my 2012R2 Essentials DC running as a VM on 2012 Hyper-V. &nbsp;I have redone and migrated to an identical 2012R2 Essentials VM DC with the same domain (Different computer name and IP). &nbsp;As soon as everything it finished I will junk the original VM. &nbsp;I am not quite sure the proper steps to 'switch over' the exchange 2013 server though. &nbsp;It was also running as a VM on the same hyper-v. &nbsp;Just not sure how to 'attach it' to the new DC. &nbsp;Any guidance would be appreciated.<br />

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.
