Vista - Hyper-V API compatability with Virtual Server 2005

Hi -

I'm using Virtual Server 2005 for, among other things, virtual test client
automation. I have a respectable sized vbscript that I use to reset virtual
machines by name and ping them until they come back up for using during
automated acceptance testing.

We're purchasing a Windows Server 2008 box with Hyper-V, but it just
occurred to me that my VBScript utility might not work with hyper-v's api. Do
you have any insight into backward compatibility between the two?

Thanks much,
Sean

There is none. As you know that Virtual Server programming model is COM
based, the Hyper-V model is WMI based.

Thanks, Paul. Do you know if Virtual Server 2005 can live on the Windows
Server 2008 box? This might be temporary transitionary option for me until I
can port the automation to wmi.

thanks,
Sean

Yup, works fine, not sure about support though.

If you're running Hyper-V at the same time, you'll have pretty bad
performance in the Virtual Server VM's, but it does work. I don't
think it's a supported scenario though.
