http://serverfault.com – Assume I installed Hyper-V Server 2012. Networking is working fine. The server is locked down, only RDP is enabled. Enabling other ports may not be an option as the server is directly connected to the internet. As I understood it, Hyper-V Server 2012 is simply Windows Server 2012 with the Hyper-V role installed. No other roles are available. Using only the tools available on the installed OS, how do I detect which drivers are missing? In a full blown Windows, I would usually look at the device manager to spot any devices that are missing drivers. But that doesn't seem to be an option. I h (HowTos)

Stories similar to Detecting missing drivers for Hyper-V Server 2012

I run a Hyper-V server running several Hyper-V VMs. I was wondering if there is any way for me to manage

the Hyper-V server itself (just Hyper-V role, not the rest of the server box) and the Hyper-V VMs (like connecting into them)

via Mac OS?

I'm on Mac OS 10.8 on my main laptop. From what I've been seeing the Hyper-V management tools are all Windows based.

I have a HP ProLiant MicroServer running Windows Server 2012.

I have a question about which license to purchase for a client setup that I am looking to implement.

The scenario is that I want a Windows Server 2012 on bare metal running Hyper-V, a Windows Server 2011 as the first VM running on it, and then 4 virtual Windows 7 Professional VM's for the clients to connect to.

So my question is, which version of Windows Server 2012 do I need for the Hyper-V set

I'm about to pull my hair out!

I have a DC1 running Windows Server 2012, with 2 NICs - 10.0.1.10 and 172.0.1.10. These are configured for public and private LANs, respectively. This works great.

I have created a Windows Server 2012 Standard VM in Hyper- V on the DC.

I’m having several Windows Servers 2008 R2 which I previously accessed using Hyper-V Manager from Windows 7. On upgrading to Windows 8 and enabling the feature Hyper-V, this is no longer possible.

I recently installed Windows Server 2012. This will serve as the dev-instance for our engineers and will be accessed in multiple time zones. I therefore plan to run this 24x7 but want to conserve energy by going to sleep mode when not in use & enable Wake-On-Magic-Packet.

Based on the previous post it appears that there is no option to sleep Win Server 2012 with Hyper-V.

i just installed a ubuntu 12.04 server on a 2008 R2 Hyper-V server and all is fine (networking/storage ...). There is just one thing, when i halt my linux (using "sudo halt"), i can see on the console that the system is halted but the vm status on hyper-v is still "started".

I've seen lots of people saying we should turn hyperthreading on on hyper-v hosts, but I've got a dilemma.

We're going to be running SQL Server 2012 Enterprise on a 2012 hyper-V cluster.

I'm trying to set up VDI across Windows Server 2012 VMs running on Hyper-V 2012.

The wizard's compatibility check for the Virtualization Host server failed with "Hardware-assisted virtualization is not present on the server".

I'm running an FX-8120 CPU and have the ASUS M5A97 motherboard.
