SBS 2008 on Hyper-V

Joe Raby — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 23:55:50 GMT

If the main SBS 2008 server is run from within Hyper-V (either Server 2008 or Hyper-V Server), is it recommended to keep the parent partition out of the domain to keep from using up a CAL on SBS?

It would seem that the best option to manage Hyper-V remotely would be to do so also on a computer that isn't connected to the same domain that the SBS DC controls. Is that correct?

Installing SBS in a VM on Hyper-V doesn't seem to be a good option since there is no local GUI in Hyper-V with which to access the VM for initial setup. Is it therefore recommended to use an unattended installation of SBS that enables Remote Desktop and other first-boot options? I get that there's no local GUI administration of Hyper-V Server, but there should be some kind of "software KVM" to see the VM's from a local console, rather than relying on having Remote Desktop enabled from the get-go. If there is already an option like this, how do you get to it?

What about a scenario where the SBS2008 1st server becomes the HyperV host, and we virtualise the 2nd server?

This would enable fax services, USB backups to operate normally, while utilising the 2nd server virtually to run lower load environments.

Shouldn't the graphic in the scenerio one say "SBS Standard server" not "SBS Premium - 1st server" ?
