Update on SCVMM and Hyper-V RC1

It's been a couple of weeks since my last post but just wanted folks to know that we're almost ready with a patch that makes SCVMM beta compatible with Hyper-V RC1. We're "dogfooding" it (we're using it ourselves) internally for the next couple of days and barring any showstoppers, we should have a public patch available by Monday. Thanks for hanging in there. I know this is somewhat painful but the change to hyper-V was necessary and ultimately the final release of both products will be better.

Rakesh, how is it going? I have been also dogfooding! SCVMM and HyperVRC1. I filed a bug / feedback on connect.microsoft.com that I can repro consistently.. I am based out of Bellevue and this is reproable on my laptop - so can bring it by to help you improve the stability of the product!! my email is krishnan@experallc.com and my ph is 425 827 5639.

I have two bitmaps that I can email you if you tell me how! I could not attach it to the bug on connect.

Thanks

Repro Steps

Steps to Repro

1. Install WS08 Std with Hyper V RC1. Verified that all is good with Hyper V Manager Snap In.

2. Install two VM's (a) WinXP moved VHD from WS03R2VirtSer (b) created a new machine running ubuntu 8.04 x64

3. Converted WS08 server to DC before installing VMM

4. Installed VMM Admin Console

5. Installed VMM Server

6. Added WS08 host running Hyper V RC1 in VMM

7. Status shows that everything is working well (see bitmap #1)

8. Choose the "Virtual Machines" on the bottom left nav

9. You get an error (see bitmap #2)
