    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:

    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

    Please note Hyper-V is not included in Windows Web Server 2008.

    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

    Please note this command is cAsE-sEnSiTiVe.

    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?

    The proper command is:

    start /w ocsetup.exe Microsoft-Hyper-V

    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.
