Two important updates for SCVMM

Cheng Wei — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 20:52:00 GMT

Working with SCVMM team, Hyper-V team and BITS (Background Intelligent Transfer Service) team have just released two important updates to support SCVMM scenarios. We highly recommend our customers to install these updates to your Hyper-V host environments. In fact, if your Hyper-V hosts do not have these two updates installed, SCVMM server will report your hosts as "Needs Attention" (and the substatus for Virtualization Service Version will show as "Upgrade available").

Here are the brief discriptions (copied from the KB) and links to the updates:

Hyper-V Update:

Install this update to resolve potential issues when you manage Hyper-V with System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM). After you install this item, you may have to restart your computer. This update is provided to you and licensed under the Windows Server 2008 License Terms.

After you install this item, you may have to restart your computer. This update is provided to you and licensed under the Windows Server 2008 License Terms.
