I'd like to do some preliminary testing and departments here are always buying new servers and we are bound to get an R2 box any day, so i'd like to be able to utilize them.</p> <p>I know the regular scvmm won't be able to maange the new features of R2 machines, but I atleast need to manage them at the regular hyper-v level. I heard a patch was coming?</p><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.technet.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=3281138" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.technet.com/b/keithcombs/archive/2009/09/14/scvmm-2008-r2-now-available-for-download-to-technet-subscribers.aspx#3281023Tue, 15 Sep 2009 01:26:09 GMTd5e57398-b9ef-4490-9955-07cbb4e4a80d:3281023Alan Burchill<p>Actually... this was available on MSDN a week ago for about 24 hours and then it was pulled again.
