Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 Installation

Microsoft Hyper-V Server (HVS) 2008 is a hypervisor solution that is based on Windows Server 2008 and Hyper-V. Unlike Windows Server 2008 which supports the installation of many different roles, Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 is standalone virtualization software that does not support any additional roles.

HVConfig.cmd launches every time that you log on the system to support the configuration of the following parameters:

  • Domain or Workgroup Membership
  • Computer name
  • Network Settings
  • Local Administrators
  • Windows Update Settings
  • Download and Install Windows updates
  • Remote Desktop
  • Regional and Language Options
  • Date and Time

As shown in Figure 9, the HVConfig menu also allows you to take the following actions:
