Comments on: Running WHS on Server 2008 Hyper-V Part 2 http://www.mswhs.com/2009/10/running-whs-on-server-2008-hyper-v-part-2/ Tue, 22 May 2012 02:23:14 +0000 hourly 1 By: Francishttp://www.mswhs.com/2009/10/running-whs-on-server-2008-hyper-v-part-2/comment-page-1/#comment-11518 Francis Sun, 27 Dec 2009 10:53:07 +0000 http://mswhs.wordpress.com/?p=5763#comment-11518 I just build my new machine with intel i7, 8 gig of RAM, board with USB3 and SATA3, and very good GPU. This computer will be my primary server/desktop at home for software development and personal staff (playing games, media server etc.). I already have HP ex470 as my WHS but I'm looking to sell this machine and planning to move it on the win 2008 R2 installation using hyper-v. This will help me to conserved electricity with the combined machine. Everything looks good, I'm now running the WHS on hyper-v. The only thing I'm missing is that my host machine is win 2008 and I'm having some hard time to configure it as desktop as possible and driver is also hard to configured (bluetooth, tuner card..), no media center I need it for TV recording. If only Microsoft add the hyper-v on windows 7 which has more desktop experience, it would be my perfect machine. I know Windows 7 already have Virtual Machine but it has limited features compare to hyper-v like physical mounting of hard drive, very important for WHS, doesn't run as windows server and list goes on.

I just completed my installation of Windows Home Server in a Hyper V VM on 2008 R2. I did it this way so I can still have the ability to use my server for other OS's as WHS will not max out the server.Here is my post on it.http://tsells.wordpress.com/2009/11/07/setting-up-windows-home-server-in-a-vm-on-win-2008-r2-2/ Hello.

(or really, as good of a notification scheme, I guess I could settle for e-mail notifications but a bubble from the system tray would be better for me).
