Answered Can SCVMM 2008 support a Windows Server 2012 Guest OS Profile

    Does anyone know if you can create a VM or Template with Windows Server 2012 as the guest OS and/or create a guest OS Profile?

    I'm attempting to create a guest OS profile in SCVMM 2008 R2, but when I go to choose the OS, 2012 is not an option. I'm assuming this means I would need to update to SCVMM 2012 correct? Or can I make the vm with a 2012 OS but just not with the 2012 guest OS profile?

    Thank you

    If your curious, the install seems to work, I chose 2008R2 Standard x64 as the OS I was installing, guess I'll see how the performance with the agent is once its all done, but I'd still like to know if I 'have' to update to SCVMM 2012 to get support for a Server 2012 OS. It's not like it's free. ;-)

    So the answer to my question is yes. I have yet to see what impact there will be on performance but my VM is up and running and VM additions is detected. I hope MS sends an update so you can have Server 2012 as a Guest OS option in SCVMM 2008R2.
