As Mr. Sobey suggested – I wouldn’t do a P2V. I would fire up a new VM and do a standard transition to a new server.

I am retiring the hardware my single Exchange 2010 server lives on. I have a shiny new Hyper-V 2012 deployment and I'm thinking of virtualizing Exchange. Are there any strong thoughts out there about doing a P2V of the server versus standing up a brand new one and moving the mailboxes and public folders? We have ~50 users and the databases are ~350GB in total size. I do not have SCVMM. (Can't afford it.) Cheers, RS
