When you try to install the Hyper-V role on a virtual server on VMware Workstation you may receive the error "The processor does not have required virtualization capabilities". If you see this simply edit the properties of the virtual machine and enable the " Virtualize Intel VT –x/EPT or AMD V/RVI" checkbox and try again. Hyper-V Audit is coming soon to XIA Configuration Server!

Identify Windows server core systems on the network

We're pleased to add support for detecting server core and bare metal hypervisors to the forthcoming XIA Configuration Server version 5. Though it's been possible to document the configuration of server core for some time the new version adds the ability to identify and report against these servers more easily as well as being able to locate Hyper-V baremetal hypervisors. This functionality will be released at the same time as the ability to document Hyper-V server and virtual machine configurations later this year. http://www.centrel-solutions.com/xiaconfiguration/ For more information please email requests@centrel-solutions.com
