Question : Moving VHD to a 2008 Hyper-V Server

Hello,

I just installed Hyper-v 2008 RTM and am connecting to it via the Hyper tools.  I am now trying to move some existing Virtual hard drives (vhd) to the machine and I cannot figure out how.  When I did a google search it basically just says "next step, move vhd files to server"

So HOW do I actually move them from another server to this one??

Thanks in advance,
Ian

Answer : Moving VHD to a 2008 Hyper-V Server

So it is a "Server Core" installation, you didn't mention that.

So on the Server Core machine, type:

Net use z: "\\oldsever\c$" or d$ or whatever drive letter the vhd file sits in on the old server, the do a "cd z:" and then do a "copy filename.vhd d:\newpath\file.vhd" where the new path is the new path that you want the file to be copied to.

It is the same as moving files around from the command line of a regular windows installation.
