Hi <br />
<br />
In the VM itself you dont have any impact moving VMs between folders.<br />
<br />
The only impact in VMs that could happen is only if you move live VMs between datastores. This could happen in the performance of the VM. But even this depends on the Infraestructure.<br />

Hi Luciano, to clarify - if i move vms between folders, there will be no impact on the vms.<br />
<br />
For example, if i movie a windows domain controller into a folder, there will be no impact to that domain controller. &nbsp;Is this correct?<br />
<br />
The only impact we will experience is if we move a vm between datastores. &nbsp;Please confirm.

Was looking to organize the vms in levels, from most critical to least critical, using folders in the VMs and Templates tab in vcenter. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Will this impact the virtual machines at all? &nbsp;<br />
Will moving the virtual machines into folders while they are online cause issues?

Was looking to organize the vms in levels, from most critical to least critical, using folders in the VMs and Templates tab in vcenter.

Does moving a virtual machine (vm) into a folder in vcenter impact the vm at all?

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
