Vista - Hyper-V on Core with R2

Hi

Running Hyper-V on CoreEdition of Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise:

Which version of Windows must be installed at least on a 32bit remote
management machine to have all new features of the R2-Hyper-V edition?

Can I work with Vista or Server 2008?
Or do I need to go to Windows 7 or Server 2008 R2?

Patrick

Hello Patrick,

Sounds like you are using the free, standalone, bare-metal version, Hyper-V
Server 2008 R2 (as you said, Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Server Core with
the Hyper-V role).

According to information that is currently available, you should still be
able to remotely manage Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 with at least Windows Vista
(SP1), or Windows Server 2008 (32- or 64-bit). I do know that a 64-bit
platform is required to run HyperV Server 2008 (RC0, RC1, or R2). I would
recommend going to Windows 7 for the remote management if you don't have
Windows Server 2008 with SCCM VMM. But that is just a recommendation, not a
requirement.

I am still trying to get a good installation of a Windows Vista Enterprise
VM in Hyper-V (non R2). Everything loads fine except the Virtual Machine
Integration Services.


Hope this helps.

Patrick,

You will be able to remotely manage the full feature set of Hyper-V on
Windows Server 2008 R2 using Vista SP1 or Windows 7. However, if you want to
support the new feature's such as CSV or Live Migration, then you will have
to do this from a W2K8 R2 machine since these are new VM Clustering features
and will not be made available in the previous release of W2K8.
