I hope someone can help me with this. I have one physical server and on that server is Windows Server 2012 Essentials. I have reached the user limit and need to do an inplace upgrade, which will make it into Server 2012 Standard. The Essentials server is being used as DNS, DHCP, DC. I want to split that up into VMs.
The question I have is once I have done the upgrade how do I exercise the VM rights? So if I want to virtualise the upgraded server onto the same machine?
So I want on the physical server only Hyper-V role install two VMs and have the original setup in one of the new VMs?
