Windows 2008 Hyper-V question.

[blade1000]

All-

Taking a stab at installing Hyper-V for first time.

Are there 2 or more ways of installing this or is it essentially this process:

1) install Windows 2k8 server core
2) tick the role for Hyper-V

for now I would like to create only 2 vm's and it may only expand to only 3 vm's over all for the next few months until we purchase a SAN.. but just so you know I don't plan to keep the vm template and coinciding files on a file server share forever..

Thanks for any info, urls or suggestions at all

Assuming you're using Windows Server 2008 w/ Hyper-V, yes. There is a update for Hyper-V that upgrades it from the beta version in 2008 to the RTM version. Install that.

Thanks Pat,

I found the download for the "newer" Windows server 2k3 Hyper-V release... cool!
