From: ErlingC on 29 Jan 2010 04:16 Hi.... We are looking to virtualize one of our small Exchange servers. When we do that, we would prefere that the old could keep running until the virtual one is ready... When we virtualize the server it will also be given a new IP adresse... Is it possible to just stop the old server and copy all store files to the new one and then start it up again....? Sincerely Erling Christensen
