For testing and presentation puropuses I have installed inside my full Windows server 2008 64 BIT installation with Hyper-V another standalone Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 - everything works - you can even manage it using Hyper-V manager from other server but you can not (obviously! :)) run virtual machines. You get an error saying unable to create partition. You should be a wirdo to even think about souch stuff but I had a chance and I just could not resist pressing the START button. So you know now… Hyper-V inside Hyper-V does not work!

I welcome you to join virtualisation experience with this fantastic product… At the moment of writing I am testing Microsoft Hyper-V server 2008 and it works great… In next days I will post some screenshots on how to install, configure and manage Microsoft Hyper-V server 2008…

“I’ve found an even easier way to do this.  I found a PowerShell Hyper-V script at:

http://www.codeplex.com/PSHyperv

It has a lot of functions already, and I added a “Kill-VM” function that automates the kill process:

Kill-VM <VM name>

My modified script is attached to this message.

To use it, you need to install PowerShell (Under Server Manager -> Features in Win2008).  Once installed, run PowerShell from Start -> Search, find the script, and type:

. .\hyperv.ps1

Once loaded into memory, type:

Kill-VM <VM Name>

Enjoy”
