What happens to the VM guests when you destroy a cluster?
I have a three node Hyper-V Server 2012 R2 cluster I'd like to "destroy" so I can repurpose some 10GB NICs and switch ports. I have a small handful of VM guests left on one of the three hosts. All of the VM config and storage has been moved to local disk (DAS) on that one host.
