Hyper-V would be nice if you could use the current System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2007 to control it. I mean wow Microsoft you out date a expensive piece of software in under a year.

Yeah I know I can do it from a Vista PC, but I don’t want to have to use another machine to set it up. Perhaps a live CD would be a good idea.

Vista SP1 plus the management pack download. I suppose if MMC was installable on server core you’d think it was less secure? The purpose of server core, as far as I understand it is to increase security rather than be just cool. From what I’ve seen on the blogs it looks like you can use WMI locally to manage hyper-v. Otherwise, just using Vista SP1 with MMC & hyper-v tools sounds like a good idea to me personally, and it will keep your server core installation nice and ‘thin’.
