Currently, our primary file server is a physical machine with file storage on a SAN. We're using DFSR to sync (two-way) files with a branch office. We'd like to virtualize the primary file server without re-trigging a DFSR initialization. (There are so many files that between bandwidth and whatnot, just scanning and validating that the files match takes about a week.)
Is this possible?
Note - I don't care about getting an exact P-to-V of the file server OS; in fact I'd almost prefer to install a fresh one. The concern is converting the existing files to a VHDX without confusing the DFSR database.
