hyper-v R2 - is there a manager console download?

[blade1000]

All-

I just built a hyper-v R2 2008 install. Love the command line shell and all.

Is there a management console download available so I can many it via gui from my workstation?

I don't have System Center in house yet, but there should be a client console download , no?

thanks for any support

I don't think that there is a standalone client download, but you can download a demo/eval of Windows 2008 R2 and install the administration tool from there.

Keep in mind that if you are running Vista that you may need to install this as well:

It may work, but you can download eval copies of Server 2008 R2 as well.
