[isapros] Re: Hyper-V is so damn kewl...

I was most unimpressed by the hyperv management console. The system 
center/virtual machine manager was the only way I would ever use it, but you 
need to be using multiple servers to warrant that, but given that the vmm was 
built on powershell it would be a good thing to drive from the cli if you are 
so inclined. That and running (read) managing HV on SC was near impossible 
unless you had rsat or another hyperv machine you could connect to the console 
(which wasn't available at the time). You were supposed to be able to use wmi 
to drive it but I was told that MS hadn't finished the docco on that. It might 
be great when they finish it.

Vmware beta2 has some nice things about it and you can use the ESX client to 
manage it. Having used ESX and Virtual Iron in production I would say they have 
a way to go but I'm keen to setup an environment at work. We have 60 or so 
standalone vm boxes that dev and qa use and we are looking at using something 
to consolidate them, hyperv seems like it will fit the bill there.

Got my ISA 2006 server running on Hyper-V now.
I'll soon migrate to TMG (probably not today; gardening awaits).
