AND double check that your Server Core installation is 64-bit.
To check whether your Server Core installation is a version of Windows Server 2008 that includes Hyper-V, run the following command:
wmic OS get OperatingSystemSKU
The output of this command will be a number. The table below shows you the corresponding version of Windows Server 2008:
Please note Hyper-V is not included in Windows Web Server 2008.OperatingSystemSKU
(output on console)OperatingSystemSKU
(hexidecimal value)Server Core Edition 12 0x0000000C Windows Server 2008 Datacenter Edition, Server Core 39 0x00000027 Windows Server 2008 Datacenter Edition without Hyper-V, Server Core 13 0x0000000D Windows Server 2008 Standard Edition, Server Core 40 0x00000028 Windows Server 2008 Standard Edition without Hyper-V, Server Core 14 0x0000000E Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition, Server Core 41 0x00000029 Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition without Hyper-V, Server Core 29 0x0000001D Windows Web Server 2008, Server Core
BrianEh said:AND double check that your Server Core installation is 64-bit.
Hyper-V is only available on 64-bit editions of Server 2008.
To determine whether your Server Core installation is 64-bit run the following command:wmic OS get OSArchitecture
This command will return whether your Server Core installation is a 32bit or a 64bit installation.
Please note Hyper-V is not included in the Itanium version.
Please note your Processor needs to support 64bit DEP and both your processor and motherboard need to support hardware assited virtualization. The manufacturer of your server can tell you if this is the case.

This may also prove to be the cullprit, indeed. The command should be:
start /w ocsetup.exe Hyper-V

With the danger or asking a stupid question: Sure you didn't install the "without Hyper-V" version of Windows Server 2008?
I manged to download and install that version my self once. :)

hi shark2,
What is the command that you use, also did you install the KB950050 (RTM) patch before you tried to enable hyper v.
- Double check that you don't have a 'without Hyper-V' sku.
AND double check that your Server Core installation is 64-bit.
Hyper-V is only available on 64-bit editions of Server 2008.
Then the usual BIOS settings of virtualization and data execution...

Sander, great post!
Do you have the SKU list for non-core as well?
- Wayne S. Anderson MCITP, MCSE, MCT http://blog.avanadeadvisor.com/blogs/waynea - The proper command is:
start /w ocsetup.exe Microsoft-Hyper-V
See http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/library/47a23a74-e13c-46de-8d30-ad0afb1eaffc1033.mspx - Wayne S. Anderson said: Do you have the SKU list for non-core as well?Wayne,
The complete list can actually be found here in the MSDN Library.
The values are hexidecimal, so be sure to have calc.exe ready to relate to the output on the console.
