The webbernetz are abuzz with news that a new version of Ubuntu has been released today. As such, I figured that I should post instructions on how to get it going under Hyper-V. Now, I know that these steps are pretty complex, so I'll try to use as much detail as I can when writing them out. Step...

The other day, Ben Armstrong posted the steps for installing Windows PowerShell on Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 .  How awesome is that?  A real, modern, powerful shell on Hyper-V Server! It should be noted that this also works on Windows Server 2008 R2 Core SKUs, so if you’re running Hyper-V on one...

I haven’t updated my three part series about different ways to install Hyper-V for our RTM release.  I’ve been working on getting some step-by-step videos created, but it’s always been on the back burner, and I was waiting to update the posts until I had the videos ready.

Mike Sterling just made a triumphant return to blogging by posting an article on how to add the RC1 ICs to WinPE. Check it out here .

You don't feel like messing around with Sysprep. What do you do? Well, since none of these things existed in 1914, you're probably pretty safe...

Updated for Hyper-V RTM Before we jump right into this, I thought it would be best if we got a few things straight.  For the remainder of this post, everytime I say "sysprep," I'm referring to running Sysprep with the /generalize switch.  This is the best way to make sure that the...

Updated for Hyper-V RTM As you may have heard, we've shipped Hyper-V.  Sorry for the lack of posts - it seems like I'm always on vacation when we ship a major release like this, so my posts lag a few days behind. Installing Hyper-V isn't exactly a difficult task, but if you have to do it on multiple...

Sorry for the abrupt end to the posts last week, everyone.  I was out sick.  But fear not, for I am once again a healthy and strapping young man.  And as such, I hereby return to blogging Virtual Goodness! So - automating "Viridian" installation.  I'm happy to provide some...
