We have some training machines (Windows Server 2008 r2) that we'd like to boot up and load the VM for the clients to use.
I thought it would be pretty simple via powershell, but so far. all i can do is get it to start up (Not connect).
doing searchs for connecting to VM obviously come up with random links to how to do a normal connect. Not load up the VM full screen mode if you log into the Hyper-V
Thanks for any help

Use remote desktop for full screen with Hyper-V.

here's to my first question on SO.
I'm trying to connect a VM (without internet connection) to a proxy so that I can setup Microsoft Monitoring Agent for Azure Log Analytics, but the time on the VM is out with about 28s. I've tried the sync to host-only approach and to no avail. What can I do to synchronize the VM's time so that it's accurate?
Thanks!

I am new to Hyper-V and Server Core but I am stumped as to how to install a guest OS from an ISO using only PowerShell.
I have downloaded the Hyper-V Server ISO and installed it on my server. It only installs Server Core and does not give me the option for a full GUI option. I configured its network settings, etc and all looks ok. So Server Core installed properly and Hyper-V feature is enabled. I can use PowerShell to create a VM with VHDX and link my Guest OS ISO to it. When I start the VM there is no console UI to install the OS.
How are you supposed to install a guest OS with no console interface to setup the OS?
Note, there is no option under this configuration to enable the OS GUI as some posts have suggested.
First, please don't confuse "Server Core" with "Hyper-V Server". "Server Core" is an installation mode of Windows. Among other things, it can be converted to GUI mode, which is why people keep telling you to just turn the GUI on. Hyper-V Server looks like Server Core but it is not Server Core.
For your actual problem, you're not going to find a simple out-of-the-box solution. You could work up a complete unattended installation process. You could set up a Windows Deployment Services server and have it install via PXE boot. I think some of the third-party Hyper-V management solutions allow you to connect to the console of a VM from within the local Hyper-V Server.
Hyper-V Server was designed with headless operation in mind. It was expected that you would use it to configure and perform maintenance on the management operating system and, if desired, the virtual machines as containers. The guest operating systems themselves were not really meant to be managed from within Hyper-V Server. What it's expected that you'll do is use a full GUI, whether another copy of Windows Server or a Windows desktop operating system running Remote Server Administration Tools to remotely connect to Hyper-V Server and manage its VMs.
I have a vhd file, I need to enable networking and remote connection on it. On the vhd is installed Windows Server 2008 R2 and SharePoint development platform, VS 2010 ...
My laptop runs Windows 8 x64 Hyper-v. I can run the vhd into the hyper-v and works great, no problem. But I have no idea about hyper-v configuration and settings.
I want to desktop remote connect (from Windows 8) to the vhd file running Windows Server 2008 R2 (domain contoso.com) but I don't know how to configure the hyper-v to allow the network connection ... if I start the remote desktop connect on my Windows 8 and type the server name or domain\server ... it doen't work.
Any idea how to configure the hyper-v so I can have internet access in the VHD and connect to it using remote desktop connection?
I am guessing you are using a Wi-Fi connection on your laptop. Hyper-V does not automatically use wi-fi connections, since it's a server technology and all.
But there are ways - here's an article from a MS dude explaining how to use a switch to bridge your wi-fi.

I am trying to connect to a jprofiler server running on linux 64 machile, from windows xp,
It connects for the first client, but when I try to connect from another windows client to that server it just keeps trying to connect , but never succeeds.
please let me know how I can enable the jprofiler sever allow multiple client connections.
Unfortunately, that is not possible. The profiling agent in JProfiler only works in a one-to-one connection mode.
Hello all I have a backed up about 30 servers using disk2vhd and now I have built my first of many hyper-v severs I did not realize this is all command line I did download CoreConfigurator and that does have some functionality I have been looking for. My question is how do I get the VHD files to run a Vitual Machines? its all command line I tried via vbs to mount the VHD's and I have not been able to any help on this would be great!
Thanks!
If you are using servercore, You maybe can do everything from the command line but I always prefer to have one computer running a Non server core version of windows 2008 to be the management server. You will load up Hyper-V manager on the non server core box and manage your Hyper-V server.
To have no "management" servers or desktops on your network will be a big pain IMO for management.
Using Hyper-V Manager you can quickly load the VHD's as VM's.
So load up Hyper-V Manager on a desktop PC on your localnet, and use its connect option to connect to your servercore. (Make sure your firewall settings are ok on servercore using coreconfig)
