can i create undo disk in different location

Message:

when you create a virtual machine ,a folder will be created with the name of
the virtual machine...in that folder we have our vmc file,,,,if we have
enabled undo disk option means,,,undo disk will also there in that folder...
a user from some remote location(say A) will work on virtual machine which
is created in some location say B..
since i am creating virtual machine in B,undo disk will also be created in
virtual machine folder which is present in machine B.
what i need to do is,,,i want to keep all the user data in user location
itself. i want to keep undo disk in the user machine itself.ie undo disks are
kept in machine A not in B where virtual machine folder is there..
is it possible to create undo disk in different location which is isolated
from virtual machine folder..if this is possible..can anyone tell me how to
do this

Virtual Undo Disks (VUD) are note created in the folder where Virtual Hard
Disks (VHD) are but in the same location as the VMC file.

If you want to have VHD on a computer (A) and VUD on a different place
(computer B), the easiest way is to move VMC file :
1 - move your VMC from computer A to Computer B
2 - Attach you VMC into Virtual Server
3 - verify and change if needed the location of VHD with the path of
computer A

No, but you can use a differencing disk instead of a undo disk. It's
essentially the same mechanism with a different extension. Just create
a differencing disk where you want it and configure your VM to use the
differencing disk. All writes go into the differencing disk and the
base disk is untouched and shareable.

Enjoy,
Richard
