I used to work for Seapine tech support (am now working in the Quality Assurance dept.). This will also work if you want to move your working directory from one physical computer to another (not just VMs). I recently got a newer computer assigned to me by the IT department, as the old PC was about 5 years old, and just didn't have quite enough oomph for my current duties (it ran fine, it was just fairly slow). I was able to just copy over my working directories from the old PC to the same locations on the new PC and just keep on working. As for those .MySCMServerInfo files - as long as they are each in the right directory, and you haven't modified them, they should be fine. In the case where you copy an entire working directory from one drive/VM to another, each of the .MySCMServerInfo files will still be in the same directory on the new drive, so that's fine. Hello,
