9 Today I built out 8 more servers for our dev team. We have a blade server
10 hosting all of this with Hyper-V. Here's what my picture looks like...
11
12 I log into my Vista work machine, use terminal services to log into the blade
13 and open up Hyper-V Manager. From there I connect to the machine via Hypervisor
14 console.
15
16 Essentially, I have a remote window inside of a remote window. Naturally,
17 mouse and keyboard key sends are at less-than-desireable speeds. My hopeful
18 solution: Hyper-V management console on Vista.

20 Over the last year or so I have been hearing talks about how one could not
21 install Hypervisor on Vista so naturally my hopes were already somewhat
22 crushed. Despite the dire situation, I started the search (thanks Google) and
23 much to my suprise, with Vista SP1 Microsoft released a patch
24 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/952627[KB952627]) to install the Hyper-V
25 Console through Windows Update (thank you Microsoft).

35 Once the management console is installed, you should be able to remotely
36 connect to your server with Hyper-V.

38 Once again, thank you Microsoft for a very satisfying product.
