I have a host server running Server 2012 R2 which is hosting 2 virtual machines using Hyper-V.<br />
<br />
For the sake of the question, the servers are called Server1 and Server2.<br />
<br />
Previously I needed to move Server1 and after following the right click&gt;move process, it worked fine. <br />
<br />
Now that I want to move Server2, I am receiving an error stating &quot;Live Migrations are not enabled on this computer&quot;.<br />
<br />
Nothing has changed on this computer following the last move so I am not sure why it is giving me this error message when it worked very well for a server1.

Hyper-V is a native hypervisor; it can create virtual machines on x86-64 systems and supersedes Windows Virtual PC as the hardware virtualization component of the client editions of Windows NT. A server computer running Hyper-V can be configured to expose individual virtual machines to one or more networks. Hyper-V Server supports remote access via Remote Desktop Connection. Administration and configuration of the host OS and the guest virtual machines is generally done over the network.
