I'm about to deploy a Hyper-V Server, that will have 2 local drives: 250GB for VMs, 2TB for Shares.
Does Hyper-V Server (standalone, not as a role) allow you to setup Network Shares? Or will I have to setup a VM with the 2TB drive allocated to it, for setting up the Shares?
If Hyper-V supports Shares, would there be a performance benefit in using it for the Shares?
The Shares will be used by both the VMs on the Hyper-V Server and other Servers within the Network.
At work and home, I use Server 2003 with Windows Shares. We also have a couple of Netgear ReadyNAS appliances at work, managed via the web interface.
Is there a built-in Web Interface for managing Shares, or a free one available - for use in Server 2003 (or 2008)?
The reason I ask is that it would be good to manage the Shares via the Web, rather then RDP onto the Server each time - and would allow other users to treat it as a NAS.
I've managed to get into a loop hole and cannot find a way out.
I have a server using Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 that I recently had to restart, so I shutdown all of the guests Virtual Machines and then restarted the host.
There are about 8 virtual machines in total, one of which is an Active Directory domain controller.
About a week ago, I also went around all of the servers (both physical and virtual) to disable the local accounts, including Administrator, as the domain appeared to be working fine.
However, now that the physical host server has restarted, I cannot logon any longer via remote desktop - as the domain is not contactable (due to the virtual machine being powered down) and the local administrator account is disabled.
I have tried connecting from another physical server (via Computer Management) to try and re-enable the local accounts, but I don't have permission (and/or RPC appears to be blocked - again, via Domain Controller group policy). I've tried connecting to Virtual Server 2005 to switch on the Domain Controller VM - but again, no accounts with access.
How can I get out of this? I need to switch all of the VMs on ASAP!
