Hi Pragnesh,
The method I described in this post is obsolete now as we have a solution out of the box for this problem using the register option that was provided as part of Windows 8 and Windows server 2012 as described here http://blogs.msdn.com/b/virtual_pc_guy/archive/2012/06/26/registering-a-virtual-machine-with-hyper-v-in-windows-8-windows-server-2012.aspx
So unless you are using an old Hyper-V server use the out of the box option. If you are indeed using a Windows 2008 R2 (or earlier) then to rollback you still need the mlink.

The key is really in understanding the symbolic link concept.
Thanks for excellent information. Worked like a charm.

What about when in a cluster envir. I'm guessing move VM's all but the one you're working on and make sure the storage is on the clustered node you're working with?

If you simply need to move the drive to free up space as I did recently then it's simple.
Stop the VM. Open the folder holding the VHD. Copy the VHD/VMC/VMCBackup/VSV and move them to the new location. Go back to the Hyper V console, open the settings for the VM and change the location of the hard drive(s)
Restart the machine.

Great article but if I stop the service the virtual machine will be unavailable. I do not see the Camaguey not to export
