Not really assuming you take the proper precautions; dismounting databases, stopping services, having a good backup standing by. You also need to remember to remove any old OEM software left behind that is used to monitor hardware, drivers, etc. Those use up resources that you probably won't want to be wasting.
The usual advice is to spin up a new VM, install Exchange and migrate mailboxes using the native methods. Of course, as Steven mentioned - make sure your resources are adequate, especially the storage you plan to host this on. Every virtualized Exchange horror story i've heard of has been the result of poorly planned storage or virtural resources (over committment). -alex On Tue, May 11, 2010 at 2:25 PM, Shih, Henry <hms...@ci.livermore.ca.us>wrote: > We plan to perform a p2v on our Exchange 2003 server because the hardware > warranty will be expired soon.
