Yesterday I went to a client to do some DR testig - namely to make sure when 
the UPS lost AC power that a script would run and gracfully power off the 
servers. 

It worked, almost. The servers did power off, but while the Hyper-V host (2008 
non-R2) started fine, the SBS 2003 VM did not. talking to Microsoft snapshots 
of SBS servers are not supported (I had exactly one). Also apparently hyper-V 
will take a snapshot if the host OS is told to power down - or something, as 
there was a snaphot of the 3 logical drives taken at the time the VM was 
attempting to start.

24 hours laster I'm probably 3-4 hours from knowing if all this merging even 
works....
