The issue is that we do not have the hardware (physical separate server) I do have a Synology on site where I guess, in theory, I can move them the guests there, do the wipe , new install, then bring them back (should be able to this in a matter of hours as its only a few TB's worth of guests)

But, you can just build a new 2012-R2 box and transfer the VMs from one to the other. While in-place Windows upgrades have gotten easier and more straightforward over time, I find that there are always little gotchas that crop up afterwards -- sometimes minor something more annoying than that. I'd opt for the latter (migrate to new host) for any non-home-network scenario.

All docs indicate its pretty straight forward, "easy and seamless" but I wanted REAL WORLD feedback. Any and all comments, feedback ,opinions, would be greatly appreciated. TIA
