Just copy the config and hard drive files to the new server. That's
the beauty of it. Your vm's are just a single file.
I suggest that before moving your vm's, 1st be sure you can create a
new vm on the new host server; just to be sure the new server's
hardware can be virtualized OK; and new vms can boot windows from the
CD drive.
