I've managed them from Windows 7 as well, but didn't know the "free" version doesn't allow that. Kinda takes the fun out of it but again it was "free".

I have been using server 2008 r2 standard with hyper-v role but this is a brand new project... For production. So is that script actually going to work to get a gui on that free hyper-v server? Powerschell isn't my thing. Without gui im not even sure how i can properly setup the server... Looks like i will have to find a few tutorials :/

I don't have a windows 8 pc. Only windows 7 and xp machines. :/

right now im downloading the windows 8.1 trial version... 90 days should be enough to get this setup and working properly -_-'
still i think there should be a way to get an explorer + hyperv manager on that thing... can't i install the hui manager role trough powershell?

what are the best practices?
should i leave the vm host and vm hdd as default on C:\
or perhaps move the vm hdd to d:\
or even move both the vm host and vm hdd to D:\
also if my d:\ has 1TB free space can i create a 2TB vhdx? or isn't it recomended?
