Containers</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: SegoeUI, Lato, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Group Managed Service Accounts</strong> We've improved the scalability and reliability of containers that use group managed service accounts (gMSA) to access network resources. You should see fewer authentication errors when using a single gMSA with multiple container instances. Additionally, you no longer need to set the container's host name to be the same as the gMSA. We also fixed a bug that prevented you from using gMSAs with Hyper-V isolated containers.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: SegoeUI, Lato, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
We're adding a new base image to the Windows Server container collection. In addition to NanoServer and WindowsServerCore container images, the new Windows image is now available. This image carries even more components than its NanoServer and ServerCore siblings, meaning it can support applications that have additional API dependencies.

Microsoft released Windows Server 2016 TP4, making lots of exciting new features available to the public. How to access all the different versions of free Hyper-V Server and Windows Server Core if you need to maintain older versions on site? Managing everything from a command line is very time-consuming.<br />
<br />
The easiest way to manage multiple versions of Hyper-V is to use vtUtilities.<br />
<br />
<h4>
vtUtilities support multiple versions of Windows Server which means you can run WinServ 2016 TP3, WinServ 2008/2008R2, WinServ 2012/2012R2 side by side.</h4>
<br />
One of the greatest advantages of vtUtilities is that you can manage Windows Server 2008R2/2012R2 as well as Windows Server 2016 (now available as Technical Preview) from Windows 10 as well as from Windows 7 and Windows 8. Please note, what Windows Server 2016 is still under development and thus technical support is not available for this version of Windows.<br />
<br />
Here are configurations supported by vtUtilities :<br />
<br />
Hypervisor version Windows version<br />
<br />
WinServ 8R2 Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1<br />
WinServ 2012 Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1, Windows 10<br />
WinServ 2012R2 Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1, Windows 10<br />
WinServ 2016TP4 Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1, Windows 10<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<h4>
vtUtilities present a number of capabilities what go far beyond the basic maintenance tasks such as creating or removing virtual machines and managing them locally and/or remotely. </h4>
<br />
The tool offers a unified GUI console that provides centralized administration of Hyper-V hosts, virtual networks & clusters and can replace such tools as Hyper-V Manager, Failover Cluster Manager, PowerShell and RSAT.<br />
<br />
vtUtilities can be installed locally on Hyper-V host allowing to troubleshoot and fix network connections and related problems what cannot be resolved via remote management.<br />

What's new in the Windows console. The underlying console host (Conhost.exe) has been updated in several ways, adding new and different functionality to the Windows command prompt, the Windows PowerShell prompt, and any other character-mode applications. For details, see <a href="https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt427362.aspx" style="color: #0066dd; text-decoration: none;">What's New in the Windows Console in Windows Server 2016 Technical Preview</a> and <a href="http://blogs.windows.com/buildingapps/2014/10/07/console-improvements-in-the-windows-10-technical-preview/" style="color: #0066dd; text-decoration: none;">Console Improvements in the Windows 10 Technical Preview</a> , but you should take note of these important changes:</div>
<ul class="unordered">
<li style="list-style-image: none;"><div style="line-height: 18px; padding-bottom: 15px;">
The new console functionality is enabled by default. If an existing application doesn't work properly with the new console, you can select <strong>Use legacy console</strong> on the <strong>Options</strong> tab and then restart your application. You can also control individual aspects of the new functionality with registry keys; see details at the linked topics.</div>
</li>
<li style="list-style-image: none;"><div style="line-height: 18px; padding-bottom: 15px;">
Console windows can be resized dynamically with the mouse. This could cause issues with some console applications.</div>
</li>
<li style="list-style-image: none;"><div style="line-height: 18px; padding-bottom: 15px;">
Quick Edit mode is enabled by default. If this conflicts with your application, you can disable it on the <strong>Options</strong> tab.</div>
</li>
<li style="list-style-image: none;"><div style="line-height: 18px; padding-bottom: 15px;">
There are new keyboard shortcuts for copy, paste, and history navigation. If these conflict with your application, you can disable them on the Options tab (look for <strong>Enable CTRL key shortcuts</strong> and <strong>Extended test selection keys</strong>).</div>
</li>
<li style="list-style-image: none;"><div style="line-height: 18px; padding-bottom: 15px;">
The default font type for new console windows is TrueType. You can still use raster fonts, but they won't scale properly on some displays.</div>
</li>
<li style="list-style-image: none;"><div style="line-height: 18px; padding-bottom: 15px;">
Text wraps and reflows by default when you resize a window. If necessary, you can disable this on the <strong>Layouts</strong> tab.</div>
</li>
<li style="list-style-image: none;"><div style="line-height: 18px; padding-bottom: 15px;">
In some cases, after upgrade installation, fonts in the console window might be very small. To adjust this, use the <span class="label" style="font-weight: 700;">Fonts</span> tab.</div>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li style="list-style-image: none;"><div style="line-height: 18px; padding-bottom: 15px;">
<a href="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=512808" style="color: #0066dd; text-decoration: none;">What’s New in Windows PowerShell 5.0</a>. Windows PowerShell 5.0 includes significant new features—including support for developing with classes, and new security features—that extend its use, improve its usability, and allow you to control and manage Windows-based environments more easily and comprehensively. Multiple new features in Windows PowerShell Desired State Configuration (DSC) are also described in this topic.</div>
</li>
<li style="list-style-image: none;"><div style="line-height: 18px; padding-bottom: 15px;">
<a href="https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn823752.aspx" style="color: #0066dd; text-decoration: none;">What's New in Networking in Windows Server Technical Preview</a>. The majority of what you’ll find for networking is new in TP3. We bring a scalable network controller for programming policies, an L4 load balancer for high availability and performance, enhanced gateways for hybrid connectivity, and an underlying network fabric that converges RDMA traffic together with tenant traffic, DNS policies that control how your DNS servers respond to incoming requests, and better integration of DNS and IPAM.</div>

For details, see <a href="https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt427362.aspx" style="color: #0066dd; text-decoration: none;">What's New in the Windows Console in Windows Server 2016 Technical Preview</a> and <a href="http://blogs.windows.com/buildingapps/2014/10/07/console-improvements-in-the-windows-10-technical-preview/" style="color: #0066dd; text-decoration: none;">Console Improvements in the Windows 10 Technical Preview</a> , but you should take note of these important changes:</div>
<ul class="unordered">
<li style="list-style-image: none;"><div style="line-height: 18px; padding-bottom: 15px;">
The new console functionality is enabled by default. If an existing application doesn't work properly with the new console, you can select <strong>Use legacy console</strong> on the <strong>Options</strong> tab and then restart your application. You can also control individual aspects of the new functionality with registry keys; see details at the linked topics.</div>
</li>
<li style="list-style-image: none;"><div style="line-height: 18px; padding-bottom: 15px;">
Console windows can be resized dynamically with the mouse. This could cause issues with some console applications.</div>
</li>
<li style="list-style-image: none;"><div style="line-height: 18px; padding-bottom: 15px;">
Quick Edit mode is enabled by default. If this conflicts with your application, you can disable it on the <strong>Options</strong> tab.</div>
</li>
<li style="list-style-image: none;"><div style="line-height: 18px; padding-bottom: 15px;">
There are new keyboard shortcuts for copy, paste, and history navigation. If these conflict with your application, you can disable them on the Options tab (look for <strong>Enable CTRL key shortcuts</strong> and <strong>Extended test selection keys</strong>).</div>
</li>
<li style="list-style-image: none;"><div style="line-height: 18px; padding-bottom: 15px;">
The default font type for new console windows is TrueType. You can still use raster fonts, but they won't scale properly on some displays.</div>
</li>
<li style="list-style-image: none;"><div style="line-height: 18px; padding-bottom: 15px;">
Text wraps and reflows by default when you resize a window. If necessary, you can disable this on the <strong>Layouts</strong> tab.</div>
</li>
<li style="list-style-image: none;"><div style="line-height: 18px; padding-bottom: 15px;">
In some cases, after upgrade installation, fonts in the console window might be very small. To adjust this, use the <span class="label" style="font-weight: 700;">Fonts</span> tab.</div>

<br />
However, if you decide to run <a href="http://blog.vttechnology.com/2014/03/free-hyper-v-server-windows-server-core.html">Server core or standalone version of Hyper-V Server</a> you'll need to do a lot of work to configure and be able to manage your servers. Windows Server core comes without GUI and is not easily manageable without sufficient scripting skills or heavy investing in SCVMM, which can be prohibitive for price-sensitive smaller businesses because of the licensing costs. Remote Server Administration Tools are free, but doesn't allow to manage newer versions of Hyper-V Server from the previous operating systems. This means what you'll be forced to use a combination of tools/command lines to manage servers on day-to-day basis constantly figuring out that went wrong and how to fix it (remotely of course, as local management is not available in most cases). Not every small and medium shop have an expertise like that to be able to keep running smoothly in case of software and hardware problems.<br />
There are other possibilities to manage Windows Sever core and Hyper-V Server. You might want to look at VT Technology Management Utilities ( <a href="http://vtutilities.com/">vtUtilities</a>) for Hyper-V.<br />

Latest enhancements introduced in <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/server-cloud/products/windows-server-2012-r2/default.aspx">Windows Server 2012 R2 </a>have made it possible for small businesses to build an enterprise-level virtual environment on a very modest budget.<br />
<br />
The sysadmins planning to use Windows Server as their virtualization platform may choose between two ways of having a Hyper-V in their data center: installing it as a role on top of Windows Server or simply downloading and installing <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/evaluate-hyper-v-server-2012-r2">standalone version of Hyper-V Server</a>.<br />
<br />
The affordability can significantly increase if organizations were using Hyper-V Server, which is completely free. Hyper-V Server is an ideal choice for many data centers, because it makes possible to virtualize existing physical servers that are already licensed absolutely free by hosting them on Hyper-V Server, which doesn't require an additional license.<br />
<br />
Aside from licensing standpoint, standalone Hyper-V Server has many benefits to offer, but can be difficult to manage in some situations. For example, it has no graphical user interface and after the installation looks like this:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHVYUZO-D5BA12-d-9cyCCZ9dYM690P5n1Id3RBw7Q64MpKTpQ2BRoHWJFZpxYJ7itrt4IJltol468SimNBqbiIaGs7XuTxPt5K0AtwdWQ5Alz69w1RsFZZtGxb7BzdvFyXARWxxvJgvjL/s1600/HyperV2012TutorialStep9.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHVYUZO-D5BA12-d-9cyCCZ9dYM690P5n1Id3RBw7Q64MpKTpQ2BRoHWJFZpxYJ7itrt4IJltol468SimNBqbiIaGs7XuTxPt5K0AtwdWQ5Alz69w1RsFZZtGxb7BzdvFyXARWxxvJgvjL/s1600/HyperV2012TutorialStep9.PNG" height="240" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
In contrast with Windows Server edition, Hyper-V Server does not include the Hyper-V Manager console and doesn't allow changing Hyper-V settings, except for basic configuration tasks via command line interface.<br />
<br />
Of course you can manage Hyper-V by using System Center Virtual Machine Manager, but this option is quite expensive and kind of defeats the purpose. PowerShell is good if you want to do things at large scale, requires a great deal of understanding of the subject and may be quite difficult for sysadmins being new to the Hyper-V world. One more option is to run Hyper-V Manager remotely, but there is no way you can do it locally in case you wanted to troubleshoot your setup in an emergency type situation. RSAT also doesn't allow to manage some versions of Hyper-V Server from the older operating systems, so if you are still running Windows 7 and planning to virtualize with Hyper-V Server 2012 R2, you're out of luck.<br />
<br />
<h3>
vtUtilities as a management tool for Hyper-V</h3>
<br />
To avoid a painful task of dealing with command-line interface, learning scripting with PowerShell, or paying a small fortune for SCVMM, we recommend VT Technology Management Utilities for Hyper-V. vtUtilities have a powerful collection of features which caters to all your virtualized infrastructure needs. With a license priced only $120 per host, <a href="https://vttechnology.com/Products/vtUtilities">vtUtilities </a> is a sensible choice what can outrun all the mentioned above management options for Hyper-V. The low cost of the tool can be easily justified in small to medium environments, including setups for personal use.<br />
<br />
After <a href="https://vttechnology.com/Customer/Support/Hyper-V-Server-2012-Management">downloading and installing</a> vtUtilities you'll get the full GUI with functionality level similar to Hyper-V Manager, options to choose local or remote management, monitor health of the Hyper-V host and guests. The tool enables an easy access to Hyper-V event logs and virtual machine jobs history providing diagnostic and troubleshooting options to the user. There are also all kind of extras what can help you to cut your workload and run your data center daily tasks more efficiently.<br />
<br />
