Hi Danagaz

 

 

If I understand the question:  You wish to move an exchange 2007 Virtual Machine to a physical exchange server.

 

 

I would recomend with any exchange server (from experience) that you build the operating system from scratch so it is clean and stable.  Then install exchange on the new physical server and join to your existing exchange organisation.  I am assuming you have multiple exchange servers and are aware of exchange roles.

 

 

If it is a Virtual Machine exchange mailbox server you can "move" the mailboxes across to the new physical exchange server.  There is a bit of manual work in this but it does guarantee stability in the email environment and you dont need to purchase any additional software for the migration.

 

 

I would not recommend converting from virtual to physical but there is some documentation here:

Personally I have never used this before because I have never needed to convert a virtual machine to a physical machine yet.  I think there is also a licensing cost involved.

 

 

Regards

 

 

Joe
