I arrived at my office this AM to discover that all the data on my server was gone. My folder structure was still in place and Windows was still operational, however none of the applications (MS or 3rd party) were available, pretty much most of the server functionality was gone, fortunately things like DHCP and DNS were still working, but I'd estimate that about 95% of the files on the server were simply removed overnight somehow. There are no log files to view in an attempt to understand what went wrong. Has anyone else ever experienced anything similar to this? How does one recover from a situation like this? I am too scared to shut down or reboot the server for fear that it will not come back on-line.
A 2nd part of my story is that the server hosts exchange in a Hyper-V VM, this too is fortunately still operational, however I want to move the Exchange Hyper-V VM to a different Hyper-V host, is there anything aside from simply moving the files that I need to do?
