  I have installed the Windows 2008 without Hyper-V edition. The hyper-v manager tools are not available on this version. How can i install the hyper-v manager mmc? The update for Windows 2008 fails.
  
  Thanks

  Windows Server 2008 Editions without Hyper-V are bereaved of both the Hyper-V role and Hyper-V Manager.
  You cannot install the Hyper-V Management tools through the Server Manager and you cannot install an update to make the Hyper-V Manager available in a supported manner.
  
  

  • Update 950500 does not add the ability to install the Hyper-V Manager
  • Update 952627 does not apply to Windows Server 2008

  If you want to manage Hyper-V from Windows Server 2008 install Windows Server 2008 with Hyper-V. Alternatively install a Windows Vista SP1 Management Workstation or use Powershell and/or WMI to manage Hyper-V remotely.

  Hmmm... I would have thought that even 'Windows Server 2008 Editions without Hyper-V' would have had the ability add the Hyper-V MGMT MMC. Mental note now made to remember this, thanks Sander.

  This is really  bizarre behavior IMHO.  I installed x86 Server 2008 ( being x86 it has no concept of without Hyper-V ) and yet I was able to install the MMC with a little help from a thread showing me how.
  
  Now I can understand there being a x64 w/o Hyper-V because you don't want to include the beta bits that RTM'd with Server 2008 but I can't understand why it would be impossible to manage a hyper-v server.
  
  Does anyone have an explanation or expected resolution of this?
