Hyper-V Remote Administration
January 27, 2009
When you connect to a Windows Server 2008 computer running Hyper-V from a Windows Vista client, the mouse input is not captured when you connect to a guest machine unless you install the Integration Services on the guest machine. You receive the following message:
Mouse not captured in Remote Desktop session.
It is however, possible to remotely manage Hyper-V from within a Windows Vista MMC snap-in upon installation of an optional update. To download the Hyper-V Remote Management Update, follow these links.
- Hyper-V Remote Management Update for Windows Vista
- Hyper-V Remote Management Update for Windows Vista x64
Upon installation, you will find a ‘Hyper-V Manager’ icon in the Administrative Tools folder on your Start Menu.
