    Hi and welcome to the communities,

    most important thing to keep in mind when P2Ving windows servers is:

    Do not P2V a Domain Controller that is part of a multi-DC domain.

    Replication will break and you need to manually fix the mess. It's better to do a fresh dcpromo of a new virtual Server.

    If it's no DC, you're good to go :smileywink:
