Is it better to use Windows Server 2008 with or without Hyper-V?

There are two "families" of Windows Server 2008: with and without Hyper-V.

I need to install a new Windows Server 2008 (x 64) in a new server machine.  So I was wondering that I should choose.  With or without Hyper-V?  Because in the future, I might want to install VMWare Server 2.  If there is Hyper-V, would there be a conflict?

Use that WITH Hyper-V. Hyper-V is a role that you add after the installation. If you install one without, so you'll never have the ability to use Hyper-V on this machine, if you need. Please keep in mind that you cannot run virtual Hyper-V and VMware Server computers on the same host at the same time, as the previous poster said - you will see a pretty blue screen if you try

  • Problems to use Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit on ESX 3.5 U3

    I am having some problems with Windows Server 2008 R2.

    I was charged with the creation of 2 new Windows Server 2008 R2 servers. We have ESX 3.5 Update3. I found that in my attempts to put an address static IP in the virtual machine, the system crashes. If I leave the adapter to DHCP, it seems to work longer, but this obviously doesn't work. Just to be in the IP menu type in IP (do not hit OK or apply again) will cause the console screen lock.

    I found that since the release of ESX 3.5 U4 notes:

    x 64 versions of Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 operating systems require Microsoft hotfix

    x 64 versions of Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 without Microsoft hotfix http://support.microsoft.com/kb/950772 operating systems have a situation where the guest operating system is not responding and returns the following error:

    MONITOR of PANIC: vcpu-3: SAY vmcore/vmm/cpu/segment.c:430

    I was not able to find the error code in my ESX systems, so I can't confirm that I see the same question. I moved the virtual machine of 4 different hosts in the same cluster with the same results.

    Here are the best true - I built the virtual machine from scratch and configured 2 GB RAM, 1vCPU and 40 GB slim HDD put into service. With no OS, I cloned this config for the 2nd of 2 servers that I need to install. I traced the two VM 2008 R2 ISO we have on our Image data store. Both installed at the same time. Given their Unique IP and Machine names and joined them in the field. Once that ended, I migrated my cluster Corp Server2 to my cluster off site for DR purposes. The only change in config is the VLAN on the remote cluster.

    The two systems worked very well. As I returned to server 1 to start install application - lock. Reboot, login and lock. This is where I started to move the virtual machine to other hosts of the local cluster. I have found no point in troubleshooting, I'll just clone server 2. I deleted the name of the Server1 computer. Off of Server2, cloned it more to the local cluster. I then started without the NIC on so I could change the name of the computer, IP and add to the domain. This seemed to go well, I have been brought back online and start installing the application. Until I'm at the point of launch the installer app - lock.

    2 on the remote cluster server works smoothly. I have validated the ESX host on all host versions to make sure I was in the same field of play on both sides - check. No other Server 2008 seems to have this problem.

    I will delete and rebuild 1 server from scratch, but I don't see how I can do a clean install of ISO any different for the same hardware and best results.

    I checked the link to the fix for MS, but article reference Server 2003...

    Is there something that I am on?

    Addendum:-I find it strange that although I have 2008 R2 installed, the drop down menu to comments what OS in VM config allows only to 2008 (64-bit) for the selection nearest you. If you look at the field Server guest operating system in a nutshell, it says that NT 4.0 is installed. Is this just a problem of display text with this version, or a cause for concern? I found everything all the R2 are displayed as NT4 in the Summary tab.

    Corrections - it seems Server2 locks as well at the opening of the Server Manager window - I can see the "collection of data...» "downstairs. I had also opened the work center & gt; Properties window on top of the Server Manager window. VM has ceased.

    Addendum - I found that R2 the boot safe mode with networking to adjust the TCP/IP offload to disabled results in a locked VM when in network properties.

    2008 R2 is not on the official list of guests supported, and others have reported problems with it as well.

  • I can't install vmware server on the same windows server 2008 with Hyper-V?

    I have a server as the active service of Hyper-V, but I want to virtualize a VMware ESXi, andnot with Hyper-V now like to install VMware Server.

    My doubt is: can install two virtualizadores on the same server?

    It is a virtualization server that I have in my environment.

    Thank you

    Diego Paiva.

    I don't know of anyway to run ESXi in hyper - you can do the reverse to install ESXi and then run Hyper-V as a virtual machine.

    As for your second question - if you ask you can install ESXi on top of Hyper-v - you can, but it will overwrite the Hyper-v Forum
