Configuring settings for Hyper-V R2

By

Once the Hyper-V server has been installed, you can configure it. Open the Hyper-V Manager console.

 

Click Hyper-V Settings from the Actions pane.

 

There are two sections to the Hyper-V Settings, Server and User. The Server settings control the default locations for the VM files.

Keyboard Settings

This is where you decide when the “Window” key will be used on the host, and on the child. The default setting is to use it on the host, unless the VM is running in full-screen mode.

Mouse Release Key

For older operating systems, you may not be able to click in and outside the VM window as easily as you can for Windows 2008 and Windows 7 virtual machines. In that case, the mouse is captured and you will not be able to click on the host desktop. The Mouse Release Key is the key combination that you will use to release the mouse back to the parent operating system.

User Credentials

 

Click this if you want to use your login credentials to give you access to the desktops that are running in Hyper-V. This does not give you log in capability to the VMs. You still need to authenticate to use them. This just determines if you can even access them. If you are using Smart Cards for login, you will need to disable to feature and log in manually into Hyper-V

Delete Saved Credentials

This option allows for any saved credentials to be removed from Hyper-V. This will help to increase security.

Reset Check Boxes

 

This will reset Hyper-V confirmation and wizard pages back to their defaults.

You can also further configure the Hyper-V manager by determining which

elements are displayed. Click View \ Customize.

Checking and unchecking will show you live the results in the Hyper-V Manager window what is removed or added.

Error icon when creating a GPO Preference drive map

By
You may not have an error at all.  Take a look at the drive mapping below. The red triangle is what threw us off.  It is not an error.  It is simply a color representation of the Replace option of the Action field in the properties of the drive mappings. Create action This give you a green triangle. The Create action creates a new mapped drive for users. Replace Action The Replace action gives you a red triangle.  This action will delete and recreate mapped drives for users. The net result of the Replace action is to overwrite all existing settings associated with the mapped drive. If the drive mapping does not exist, then the Replace action creates a new drive mapping. Update Action The Update action will have a yellow triangle. Update will modify settings of an existing mapped drive for users. This action differs from Replace in that it only updates settings defined within the preference item. All other settings remain as configured on the mapped drive. If the
