Until you do the reboot, the later drivers are not actually installed and running.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I also have a question about upgrading Linux component services as the document only explains about installing it, not upgrading it (I *need* that new mouse via RDP fix). &amp;nbsp;Perhaps there is a better place for that question though which I will go look for.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Hyper-V RC1 is available for download</title><link>http://blogs.technet.com/jhoward/archive/2008/05/20/hyper-v-rc1-is-available-for-download.aspx#3058254</link><pubDate>Wed, 21 May 2008 03:54:40 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d5e57398-b9ef-4490-9955-07cbb4e4a80d:3058254</guid><dc:creator>jhoward</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Rob - it sounds like autoplay isn't kicking in. Dismiss the &amp;quot;Found new hardware&amp;quot; dialog, and run setup.exe manually from the virtual CD/DVD device inside the VM. That should kick the installer off.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I'm not sure about Linux - I've never gone through installing ICs inside Linux VMs (It's a policy thing). I'll find out from some folks that know more about that side of things and get back to you soon.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Hot on the heels of the RC1 release of Hyper-V, we've released the RC1 compatible version of the Integration Components for Linux.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With this update, we've added support for the synthetic mouse device. With this functionality, you no longer have to use the CTRL-ALT-LEFTARROW key combination to break the mouse out of the VMConnect window. This also allows the mouse to work when you access a Hyper-V host over a RDP connection.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But when you go to the connect site and download the documentation, nothing is mentioned about &amp;nbsp;how to perform an upgrade from Linux IC RC0 and while there is this paragraph about the mouse, there's no specifics on how to install the driver unless it just works following the rest of the instructions, but before doing that I want to make certain there aren't a different set for performing an upgrade.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;•	NEW Mouse Support: Support for the synthetic mouse device has been added in the form of an early “preview” driver. This new mouse support allows the mouse to move in and out of the window without having to use the CTRL-ALT-LEFTARROW key command to break out.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Hyper-V RC1 is available for download</title><link>http://blogs.technet.com/jhoward/archive/2008/05/20/hyper-v-rc1-is-available-for-download.aspx#3058299</link><pubDate>Wed, 21 May 2008 06:25:25 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d5e57398-b9ef-4490-9955-07cbb4e4a80d:3058299</guid><dc:creator>jhoward</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Rob - great, glad XP is resolved. I'm waiting for full confirmation but the folks that know are home for the night so I won't get a complete answer until they're back in the office tomorrow. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, this is what I did get back: IIRC, it should be as simple as unloading all the modules and then running setup.pl from the new bits. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Maybe worth giving that a go in the meantime?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Cheers,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;John.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;10.	 mount LinuxIC.ISO in the virtual machine. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;11.	Copy the Linux integration components to the virtual machine (note rename the old linux_ic directory if you have RC0 installed). For example:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;$ mkdir /opt/linux_ic&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;$ cp /mnt/cdrom/* /opt/linux_ic -R&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;14.	Run the following command as root:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;$ /opt/linux_ic/setup.pl drivers&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I'm not 100% sure networking is working however, I'm still working that out, but at least I have mouse :).&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Hyper-V RC1 is available for download</title><link>http://blogs.technet.com/jhoward/archive/2008/05/20/hyper-v-rc1-is-available-for-download.aspx#3058317</link><pubDate>Wed, 21 May 2008 07:25:25 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d5e57398-b9ef-4490-9955-07cbb4e4a80d:3058317</guid><dc:creator>robr</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Just to update, networking is in fact working, however I had to completely reconfigure seth0, my old static config was wiped out and it was set back to DHCP. &amp;nbsp;BTW, above you'll notice I edited out some steps inbetween 11 and 14, specifically:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;/opt/linux_ic/setup.pl x2v /boot/grub/menu.lst&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That generated an error saying I wasn't running the Xen kernel (which I was) and it appears to be unnecessary when performing an upgrade from RC0 to RC1. &amp;nbsp;I now have everything working once again, and thankfully now have mouse over RDP in Suse. &amp;nbsp;Woohoo!! &lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Hyper-V RC1 is available for download</title><link>http://blogs.technet.com/jhoward/archive/2008/05/20/hyper-v-rc1-is-available-for-download.aspx#3058390</link><pubDate>Wed, 21 May 2008 10:27:48 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d5e57398-b9ef-4490-9955-07cbb4e4a80d:3058390</guid><dc:creator>Delambre</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Starting with RC1, all virtual machines are equal in this regard.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;

However, not sure why it would be at 58% - 54% is what I would expect. Was that a typo?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For the networking issue you are currently seeing, can you ne a bit more specific. Can you create virtual network switches? If so, are you saying that your VMs cannot access the network? Have you run the Integration Services setup inside the VM to get the RC1 drivers inside them? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So I highly doubt that you want to hear this again but it looks like a variation of the &amp;quot;You do not have the requested permission to complete this task. Contact the administrator of the authorization policy for the computer ‘COMPUTERNAME’&amp;quot; error with a new name.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So I am running Windows Vista Business SP1 (x64) and I just installed Hyper-V RC1 on my servers (Very nice and simple install with no problems, THANK YOU) and Hyper-V RC1 Management Console on my Vista workstation. I get the following error when trying to connect to one of my servers: &amp;quot;Access denied. Unable to establish communication between 'SERVERNAME' and 'WORKSTATIONNAME'&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am added to the local administrators group on the servers and it recognizes me as an admin in all other forms of remote management, just not Hyper-V. All computers are on the same domain. I have two Hyper-V servers running Server Core clustered together and I cannot access either. I can access Hyper-V on both of them using a full install of Server 2008 on a different computer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Any Ideas this time around?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Your Beta to RC0 guide absolutely saved my skin on a critical server when that came out - I had blindly just applied to the update without any precautions!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anyway, that experience, which was nerve-racking to say the least, has made very wary. &amp;nbsp;Can you just clarify the steps for updating to RC1 from RC0 - particularly with regard to Integration Services for Windows Server 2008? &amp;nbsp;My understanding is this (where I have a single VM and single parent);&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1. Install RC1 update on guest virtual machine&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2. Shutdown VM&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3. Delete saved states for VM&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;4. Install RC1 on parent&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;5. Reboot&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;6. Start VM&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All done? &amp;nbsp;What about Integration Services for Windows Server 2008 - what do I need to do there, what is it's function (sorry, but I'm still pretty new to VM's)...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Cheers!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3. Delete snapshots&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Hyper-V RC1 is available for download</title><link>http://blogs.technet.com/jhoward/archive/2008/05/20/hyper-v-rc1-is-available-for-download.aspx#3062303</link><pubDate>Thu, 29 May 2008 00:08:34 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d5e57398-b9ef-4490-9955-07cbb4e4a80d:3062303</guid><dc:creator>MichaelVC</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hey John,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I recently rebuilt my machine and found that beta version of Hyper=V worked without a problem. &amp;nbsp;The after I downloaded the RC1 code and installed it, I am being told that Hyper-V failed to launch. &amp;nbsp;I am seeing this as a problem on a lot of the forums. &amp;nbsp;Anything you have heard about? &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;No, not quite.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1. Shutdown VM&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2. Delete saved states&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3. Delete snapshots, wait for merge to complete.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;4. Install RC1 and reboot as needed&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;5. Start VM&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;6. Install ICs in VM by running setup.exe from vmguest.iso which is inserted into the virtual CD/DVD drive using the actions/insert integration services setup disk from Virtual Machine connection. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Running that setup.exe updates the appropriate drivers for synthetic device support in the virtual machine, as well as the integration components such as heartbeat, shutdown etc.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;John.&lt;/p&gt;

Yes, we are aware of a bug in RC1 which affects the Hypervisor from launching correctly on a small number machines. The class of machine is where there is more than one physical socket containing processors, and the processors are reporting mismatching capabilities. However, that fix will not be available until a future release. Is there anything in the system event log during machine boot which indicates a Hypervisor failure? If so, can you post back the error message for me to confirm if you are hitting the same problem.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;John.&lt;/p&gt;

I'm not in front of a Hyper-V machine right now, and it's been so long since I used RC0 that I'm struggling to recall the build number &amp;lt;gulp&amp;gt; but IIRC, it was 18004. RC1 is 18010. &amp;nbsp;Beta was pre-18000 which is the build number of Windows Server 2008 RTM, and stretching my memory, it was 17119 for our bits.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you need a registry key, take a look at a Hyper-V enabled box, and do a search in the registry for one of the above numbers. There should be plenty of files in the registry with that number which you could equally well use for a check. We don't have an explicit registry key as such.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A third way would be to use WMI to query for QFEs installed on the machine eg &amp;quot;wmic qfe get hotfixid&amp;quot;. Always look for the latest QFE. If 950049 is listed, you have RC1. If 949219 is installed, you have RC0 (assuming 950049 which superceeds it is not present). If neither are listed, you are on beta (Windows Server 2008 RTM). Of course, I can't disclose future KB numbers though :)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hope that helps,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Cheers,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;John.&lt;/p&gt;

It didn't go smoothly at all!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The RC1 got deployed by our companies approve-all WSUS settings. This ment that some of the VMs got the new integration componenets b4 the host, but others didnt.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then, when things rebooted automatically, all hell broke loose over night!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now, I havent read anywhere that you MUST install the integration componenets into W2k8 x64 guests before doing so on the host, but in my case the w2k8 guests without RC1 ICs got BSODs on bootup 0x00000124 to be precise. From a little googling this seems to relate to NVidia graphics cards. So I booted the guest VM into safe mode. Removed the VMBus graphics card. Rebooted into normal mode and could then install the new integration componenets from disk. PHEW&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Just thought I would share my &amp;quot;fix&amp;quot; incase anyone else has BSODing guests&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>MSDN and TechNet Powered by Hyper-V </title><link>http://blogs.technet.com/jhoward/archive/2008/05/20/hyper-v-rc1-is-available-for-download.aspx#3062599</link><pubDate>Thu, 29 May 2008 14:05:48 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d5e57398-b9ef-4490-9955-07cbb4e4a80d:3062599</guid><dc:creator>Sebi's Blog</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Desi nu este o stire noua, asta spune multe despre Hyper-V!

This actually appears to be a different problem from the one I was describing. Can you possibly email me using the link at the top right of my blog some info about the processors which are in the machine itself. If you can use the vendor (I think this looks like an AMD) processor utilities to get some further ID information out, that would be hugely appreciated.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks,&lt;/p&gt;

If you do have the .dmp file, is there any chance you can email me using the link at the top so we can analyze the cause of failure?

If you do get the error message, please let me know.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To upgrade to RC1 on core, you just need to run the .MSU package you download for KB950049.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks,&lt;/p&gt;

The default location isn't any different regardless of &amp;quot;full&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;core&amp;quot; installations. Yes, we are working on documentation, and what there is available is generally in blogs and forums. Official documentation will generally be available when we reach RTM. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;John.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;it would seem to me a very easy way to address the update process. &amp;nbsp;Granted, it would probably require a looser coupling of the host and guest componenets, but it sure would make things easier on those of us with multiple guests.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Hyper-V RC1 is available for download</title><link>http://blogs.technet.com/jhoward/archive/2008/05/20/hyper-v-rc1-is-available-for-download.aspx#3066571</link><pubDate>Thu, 05 Jun 2008 19:24:04 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d5e57398-b9ef-4490-9955-07cbb4e4a80d:3066571</guid><dc:creator>jhoward</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Barry - we're looking at various approaches for future releases. WU for 2K8 VMs will update the guest components. It gets significantly more complex to put &amp;quot;down-level&amp;quot; operating system integration services up on WU. But thank you for the feedback.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Cheers,&lt;/p&gt;

Can you boot the VM into safe mode? What OS is running in the VM and were Integration Services previously installed, if so, the RC0 components. Feel free to drop me a mail using the email link at the top of this page.&lt;/p&gt;

Any help for this?&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Hyper-V RC1 is available for download</title><link>http://blogs.technet.com/jhoward/archive/2008/05/20/hyper-v-rc1-is-available-for-download.aspx#3136879</link><pubDate>Wed, 15 Oct 2008 20:37:09 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d5e57398-b9ef-4490-9955-07cbb4e4a80d:3136879</guid><dc:creator>jhoward</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Fred - the Q9450 processor itself should work. It usually comes down to a combination of full BIOS support and the correct BIOS settings. Have you also turned on NX/XD (I can't give a simple answer to what it might be described as in the BIOS as each vendor tends to call it something different - it may be under a &amp;quot;Security&amp;quot; menu). Also, make sure you HARD power the machine off after turning on VT for it to take effect. If no luck after that, can you provide details of the motherboard and the Hypervisor launch failure error code fro the event log.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks,&lt;/p&gt;
