Um, just boot it up and uninstall the extensions, reboot, then install the Hyper-V integration services.
Of you if prefer to be safer, then uninstall the extensions when it's running under Virtual Server. Then copy across the VHD to your Hyper-V box. Then start it up and install Integration Services.

I only ask as instead of running it in my Virtual Server I am thinking if running it in Hyper-V instead. I have just migrated 2 VM from Virtual Server to Hyper-V and those extensions cause issues, as do the network cards installed.

I will pull the VHD tomorrow. I should know soon enough if I can run it in Hyper-V. One of the downsides to Hyper-V is machines created in Virtual Server do not run in Hyper-V or at least I have yet to find a way to get them to run. Opps just found out how to do that! That is going to speed up my deployment of the server big time and also save me a ton of time.

For checking out SCE's capabilities it is better than installing the trial. Once you decide that SCE is the way you want to go, then install the trial version on your production network in the configuration that you want so that you can just enter the product key when you purchase it without reconfiguring anything. Having to change your topology with SCE after the fact isn't a lot of fun.

Would these VHD's work in Hyper-V? I have found that any VM built in VS will not run in Hyper-V but sure would be nice if it did.

It contains prebuilt vhd's for the DC and SCE as well as for clients. I use it on a virtual server with no network access to my true domain just for testing purposes. It has always worked well for me.

I don't have a lab so testing is going to be very tight. I can build an DC just for this test but will I be able to see enough to really decide if it is worth the cost or not if the DC is empty of any machines but the 2 test machines? Hyper-V is nice I must say. I am still bringing it up the moment but it is much nicer than Virtual Server. The interface is better, to me any way, than either Virtual Server or the free VMWare product.
