Is MS Server 2012 Core the same or different than Server 2012 Hyper-V?
Hello, this may seem like a daft question (and it maybe), but is Microsoft Server 2012 Core the same or a different product than Microsoft Server 2012 Hyper-V? Just curious really. IE, if different, can Core also be used as a Hyper-V Host OS?
Thanks
Thanks

Thanks for the feedback, I am already running some Server 2012 Hyper-V hosts with resident VMs. Its more of a product differentiation or I guess Microsoft marketing question. IE, Server 2012 Hyper-V looks a lot like Server 2012 Core, IE no GUI. So, I am just wondering if technically speaking, its the same OS, or if they are slightly different product lines.

Perfect, and thanks, this is what I was after. Ignore my follow up post, it was posted within two minutes of yours, so I did not see your post before I placed mine.
Thank you.
Thank you.
If you are already running Hyper-V then I think you are really looking at very similar things. Microsoft differentiates stuff to save money for some people.

Your server needs to be 64-bit and have Intel VT hardware assisted virtualization.
If your server is 64-bit, it will probably work.
