AD DS - How Is Better to Move the Servers?


hi there,

here have in our environment:

standalone w2k8r2 server hyper-v role (our hyper-v host) hosts 3 vms: 2 dcs [w2003r2 (fsmo, dns) , w2008 (dns)] , 1 exchange 2007. moving new building , plan physically move hyper-v host there. recommend approach stop operations before unplug hyper-v host?

    • should gracefully shut down servers or should pause them?
    • what order recommend perform shutdown/pausing?

thanks lot in advance!

gracefully shutdown vms selecting in hyper-v manager , take shutdown action.

shutdown host.

move host.

start host.

start dc vms - doesn't make difference on order starting both of them within short time period (generally make setting on virtual dcs start when host powered on.  ensures first , running).

when dc vms up, start exchange vm.
