Is there anything I'm missing when moving a virtual server VHD from one HyperV host to another without exporting it first?
Well, of course the machine configuration will be lost, but is there anything else I should be worried about? So far I have often just moved the VHD (or restored it from backup) file, created a new host with same configuration and attached the old servers' VHD file and deleted the old virtual machine afterwards. I have not seen any problems with that approach so far.
But should I be using Export/Import instead?
