Vista - Manament of Hyper-V Role?

We have a need for some Engineers to run and manage a few Virtual Servers
and I'd like them to be able to manage the server without having Admin
permissions on the local server that is running Hyper-V. I do not want them
to be able to install Software on the local host, though I want them to be
able to copy/add new VMs into Hyper-V.

What is the Best Practice to allow people to manage Hyper-V Images, but not
have access to manage anything else on the local host?

Thanks,
Scott<-

Hello Scott,

May you can take a look at System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008.
Currently is the Beta version to the public available. The final is expected
in the next 30 days.

I would think that the Permissions to Manage the Servers on the Hyper-V
machine would be the same.

The only way I could get the Engineers to see the Servers under the Hyper-V
Manager Role was to give them Administrator Rights to the Local Server. Not
what I really wanted to do. Without it, they could log in and launch the
Hyper-V Manager, though when they clicked the server to show the Machines
running on it, the manager said they didn't have sufficient rights to view
the machines.

How would System Center be Different? Seems like you would still need the
same permissions to manipulate the Virtual Servers.

Thanks,
