I've been testing native vhd boot on several servers. It seems to be pretty transparent in terms of deployment and with my seat of the pants testing I have not noticed any difference in performance. The main reason that I want to boot vhd is due to their transportablility between different hardware and to hyper-v servers.
the following roles will be installed.
dfsr
dhcp
iis
application server
dc <- haven't tested this yet but see no reason why it won't work.
With the above low impact (in terms of performance) roles do you thing booting from VHD is appropriate.
thx

No, no i wouldn't. There is no reason to add even more complexity for no good reason (and Microsoft saying "this is the future" does not qualify as a good reason) Why make life more difficult by adding another layer to the stack with little to no benefit?
