I have 3 session servers, 2 brokers, and a gateway. I am in need of more capacity. Rather than building a server from scratch, could I easily clone one of the session servers to make another 2 quickly? And if i can, how? If it matters this is on a 2012R2 Hyper-V cluster.<br />

Thanks!

Hyper-V is a native hypervisor; it can create virtual machines on x86-64 systems and supersedes Windows Virtual PC as the hardware virtualization component of the client editions of Windows NT. A server computer running Hyper-V can be configured to expose individual virtual machines to one or more networks. Hyper-V Server supports remote access via Remote Desktop Connection. Administration and configuration of the host OS and the guest virtual machines is generally done over the network.
