Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2016 is a stand-alone product that contains only the Windows hypervisor, a Windows Server driver model, and virtualization components. It provides a simple and reliable virtualization solution to help you improve your server utilization and reduce costs.

Yeah, I think MS choise not to have VMGuest.ISO created on Hyper-V 2016 anymore is a real miss. We've had a lot of issues with old integration services not being able to be updated. That's why we have kept one single 2012R2 Hyper-V box, which still creates the ISO. The first step is to download Hyper-V Server 2012 R2, which you can do from the TechNet Evaluation Center. Once you have downloaded the.ISO of Hyper-V Server 2012, let’s go through the installation process. Once the.ISO is burned to a DVD, you can boot the computer or server up on the new operating system.

The Windows hypervisor technology in Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2016 is the same as what's in the Hyper-V role on Windows Server 2016. So, much of the content available for the Hyper-V role on Windows Server 2016 also applies to Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2016.

Get started with Hyper-V Server Download and install Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2016. This installs the Windows hypervisor, a Windows Server driver model, and virtualization components. It's similar to running the Server Core installation option of Windows Server 2016 and the Hyper-V role.
Configure and manage Hyper-V Server Hyper-V Server doesn't have a graphical user interface (GUI). You can use the following tools to configure and manage Hyper-V Server. - Configure a Server Core installation of Windows Server 2016 with Sconfig.cmd to update domain or workgroup settings, change Windows Update settings, enable remote management, and more. - Use an ordinary command prompt for commands not available in Sconfig. - Use Hyper-V Manager or Virtual Machine Manager to remotely manage Hyper-V Server. To use Hyper-V Manager, install the Hyper-V role on Windows 10 or Windows Server 2016. - See Install Server Core for additional management options for basic server functions that aren't specific to Hyper-V. Most of the management methods documented there also work with Hyper-V Server. Configure and manage Hyper-V virtual machines - Create a virtual switch for Hyper-V virtual machines - Create a virtual machine in Hyper-V - Choose between standard or production checkpoints - Enable or disable checkpoints - Manage Windows virtual machines with PowerShell Direct Deploy - Set up hosts for live migration without Failover Clustering - Upgrade Windows Server cluster nodes - Upgrade virtual machine version

You may recall me doing a bit of Hyper-V testing and demonstration earlier this year, using the impressively-stable Windows Server 2016 Technical Preview 5 (beta) code. I also tested it as a VMware ESXi 6.0U2 VM and found that the speed, performance, and compatibility was excellent, featuring that vaguely Windows 10 UI. Yes, the good parts of the Windows 10 UI, skipping much of annoyance of the Windows 8-like UI that Windows Server 2012 R2 was saddled with.

The final bits for Windows Server 2016 are now available, and you can try them free for 180 days, even if you don't have MSDN!

Mary Jo recently published two related article that may be interest to IT Pros and virtualization enthusiasts, since Window Server is highly likely to be in the mix at work and in home labs, even if Hyper-V is not the hypervisor they're using today. I personal prefer to try to keep both running in my home lab, to keep up with the latest advancements, and to stay familiar with both UIs and management tools.

I've had the good fortune to meet Mary Jo Foley and Paul Thurrott, and I suspect many of you also listen to their Windows Weekly podcast. Here's Mary Jo's first of two related articles to check out:

Windows Server 2016 will be generally available by mid-October. Microsoft's Azure Stack hybrid system is hitting Technical Preview today.

It's simple to get that ISO download going, just fill out that basic TechNet form found at this site:

Download Windows Server 2016 Evaluation 2016

microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/evaluate-windows-server-2016
the file you download will be called:
14393.0.160715-1616.RS1_RELEASE_SERVER_EVAL_X64FRE_EN-US.ISO

In my home, instead of the usual Akamai CDN for many Microsoft ISO file downloads, I discovered that the bits were coming from Cox Communications IP address 98.171.219.25 this time around. The speed was a decent 30 Mbps (of my 300 Mbps connection), taking about 15 minutes to complete. Your findings will vary.

While that's downloading, now you have some more time to read this second article, more enterprise-focused:
