     Is there Hyper V Manager console available for Windows 7 ? Or would Microsoft have a similar managment console on this new OS. Currently the only way I know how to run this manager is from a Windows 2008 Server.

      Excellent Question, Hyper User.

        You can also search the Microsoft Downloads and get the same beta RSAT package for Win7:

        Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 7
        http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=82516c35-c7dc-4652-b2ea-2df99ea83dbb&displaylang=en

        In addition and once that RSAT package is installed, you can also use the same Hyper-V gadget as was available for use with Vista - works perfectly and IMHO is fantastically helpful

          After you have installed RSAT, go to Turn windows features on or off and enable Hyper-V tools under Remote server administration tools.

          And yeah, the gadget is pretty neat :)

              My server was down in the summer (Sorry about that), but it's now online. :)

                1. Install Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 7, download here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=7d2f6ad7-656b-4313-a005-4e344e43997d&displaylang=en
                2. Go to Start > Control panel Under Programs, click on Get programs
                3. On the left panel, click on Turn Windows feature on or off
                4. On the feature list, expand Remote Server Administration roles > Role Administration Tools Mark Hyper-V Tools Click OK
                5. Go to Administrative tools > Hyper-V Manager, launch it
                6. Now you can manage Hpyer-V virtual machines from your windows 7 box.
