Server: Good

After trying many things including getting the product team involved in diagnosing the problem, I decided to rebuild the server from scratch. That seemed to correct the problem of Hyper-V not working correctly. No one is sure why, but my guess is that the install got corrupted for some odd reason. I have to say, [...]

The New Server and Virtualization

In the process of upgrading to the new server, I had hoped to go straight from Virtual Server 2005 to Hyper-V.
