  1. You will most likely be prompted to activate the VM after converting it. Remember, that you may need two separate licenses for Windows and the applications to be compliant.
  2. Not sure what you are asking for with the UUID!?
  3. Most likely you will need to unjoin/join each time you switch the servers. This depends on the machine account/password policies in your domain.
  4. VMware Player 6, or even better VMware Workstation 10 which allows to use snapshots, which is very helpful for testing.

What I am concerned about with this approach is data integrity. Can you ensure that no data is accessed/changed while the VM is active? What about dependencies to other systems, when you run the upgrades?
