hello Im about to enable DFS on a production server and set up replication to a new VM. The VM is on a VLAN locally, then after it sync's the plan is to relocate it to another site. &nbsp;So far everything is setting up correctly with both servers on the namespace, etc. <br />
<br />
Question is, one server is loaded with Data and I dont want to lose anything so going from left to right Im assuming when I get there. Left being the existing server. Any dangers with pulling the trigger on this?

Microsoft Virtual Server was a virtualization solution that facilitated the creation of virtual machines on the Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows Server 2003 operating systems.

Features included Linux guest operating system support, Virtual Disk Precompactor, symmetric multiprocessing (SMP), x64 host operating system support, the ability to mount virtual hard drives on the host machine and additional operating systems support, including Windows Vista, and a volume shadow copy writer.
