Hyper-V RC1 released

Earlier this week we released the Hyper-V RC1 package to the connect.microsoft.com site.

What has been improved:

In addition to bug fixes and stability improvements we also made some additional changes largely based on feedback from customers

Integration Components For Windows Server 2008 guest’s included in Integration Services Setup Disk
New Graphics for Hyper-V Manager and Virtual Machine Connection – including a “Now” icon in the snapshot pane
IPv4 Address Migration - when creating a new Virtual Network bound to an adapter with a static IPv4 address the IPv4 settings are migrated to the new virtual adapter

Here are the different updates:

Windows Server 2008 x64 Hyper-V RC1 Update - KB950049

This is the Hyper-V RC1 package for Windows Server 2008 x64. This package must be installed on Hyper-V server’s (physical machines).

Windows Server 2008 x86 Hyper-V RC1 Update – KB950049

This is the Hyper-V RC1 package for Windows Server 2008 x86. This package includes only the Hyper-V Management Components for Full Windows installs and the Hyper-V Integration Components for Server 2008 x86

Note Updating to RC1 is a permanent operation. Once installed, it cannot be uninstalled. So you can’t got back to RC0 or Beta after installing RC1.
