Configure Hyper-V Remote Management in seconds

Announcing "HVRemote"...., a tool to "automagically" configure Hyper-V Remote Management. (Amazing what can be done with a few days vacation to kill before you lose them at the end of the year....).

I'm not going into the gory detail here as I've created a PDF containing the documentation, and a site on http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/HVRemote where you can download the tool and the documentation. All I ask, is that if you find the tool useful, drop me an email or a comment. Thanks!

What does the tool do: It reduces the manual configuration steps needed for Hyper-V Remote Management that I blogged about back in March this year 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 down to one or two commands.

  • It can configure Full installations and Server Core Installations of Windows Server 2008 with the Hyper-V role enabled, plus configure Microsoft Hyper-V Server. It runs across all locales (I've tested English and Japanese) and it doesn't matter if the server is domain or workgroup joined.
  • It can configure Vista SP1 and Server 2008 configured with the Hyper-V Remote Management tools. Again, doesn't matter if the client is domain or workgroup joined.

It seems there are some bugs in this tool:

I am sure, John Howard will clean it up and if he adds some GUI that will be awesome.
