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 would like to install a VMware Workstaion on my windows 7, then run a WMS 2012 inside it, after that create a hyper-v + remote-FX then create a win 7 VM after that create a RDP session to the win 7(VM) for 5 of my thin clients.

so in short

Win 7 -> VMware Workstation -> WMS 2012 -> Hyper-V + RemoteFX -> Win 7(VM) -> 5 thin client RDP session to -> Win 7(VM)

Software:

Windows 7 Ultimate x64

Long story short, we have a small thin client infrastructure setup using Windows 7 and XP for educational use (not Server 2008/2003).

My question is if anyone knows of a way to set the Windows theme to "Classic" for all users (for XP & 7)? This could be a logon script, or a registry edit, anything really...

I'm trying to connect remotely from my Windows 8 client to manage my Hyper-V Server 2012.
