Mastering your Hyper-V R2 Core Server

If you like – and use – Hyper-V is out of scope of this post. So let’s assume you have a Hyper-V core installation, as it is free and works great Smile

Microsoft® Hyper-V™ Server 2008 R2 is a stand-alone hyper-visor based virtualization product which includes Live migration.

Download: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=3512 (about 1GB)

OK. That was the marketing part.

Many people have great respect for a server, which has no GUI. At least not the way we know “Windows Servers”.

Well, at least for managing your VMs, there are some tools out there. One of them is the PowerShell Management Library for Hyper-V, available on CodePlex. It will give you great control over VMs on your server. And… it has a GUI (kind of):

Starting, Stopping and changing the configuration is now possible, without using the Hyper-V Management Console.

The module for PowerShell can be installed by calling a batch file. It works smooth, and does what is needed to manage Hyper-V via PowerShell.

get-command -module HyperV will show all available commandlets. As always (with PowerShell), a get-help commandname shows some help for the commandlet.

CodePlex Solutions

I’ve aggregated some interesting CodePlex solution. Most of them deal with SharePoint. But there are also some Hyper-V solutions.

SiteDirectory for SharePoint 2010

SP 2010 does not bring a SiteDirectory template. Microsoft Consulting Services UK have released a CodePlex version of a SiteDirectory for SharePoint 2010: http://spsitedirectory2010.codeplex.com/

What is the Purpose of the Site Directory for SharePoint 2010?

SharePoint 2007 used to have a type of Site Called Site Directory which provided a directory of all sites that had been created. In SharePoint 2010, this feature has been dropped. This solution has been developed to fill the gap in SharePoint 2010. The solution follows the same basic principle of the Site Directory in SharePoint 2007 but adds some commonly requested features.

What does Site Directory for SharePoint 2010 do?

Site Listings List: A basic SharePoint list which stores an entry for each site that is picked up by the Scan Job.
Scan Job: A timer job which scans Web Applications for sites and updates or adds to the Site Listings list. Supports exclusions, three different ways of identifying Site Owners and can be configured for multiple Web Applications, each with their own schedule.
Delete Broken Listings Job: A timer job which checks each Site Listing to see if it exists. If it does not then it keeps a count of how many times it was missing and then removes the listing once a configurable number of missed scans is reached.

Thank you :-)
