Hyper-V Installation Tricks - Prologue
Updated for Hyper-V RTM
As you may have heard, we've shipped Hyper-V. Sorry for the lack of posts - it seems like I'm always on vacation when we ship a major release like this, so my posts lag a few days behind.
Installing Hyper-V isn't exactly a difficult task, but if you have to do it on multiple machines, installing Windows, installing Hyper-V and then applying the RTM patch can be a bit time consuming. The purpose of this series of posts is to offer a few different ways to help you speed up your Hyper-V deployments.
Here are the major topics I'm planning to post about:
- Sysprep and Hyper-V
- Unattended Installation of Windows and Hyper-V
- Integrated Installation - The Beauty of the Win6 servicing stack
If you've got any other suggestions for topics, please let me know.
