System insights missing from Hyper-V edition
Im quite familiar with system insights and I love the feature - id Just want to know how would I enable it on hyperv edition (the one thats automatically activated and free for use). I would need some guidance on adding it as it's missing from the default feature list. I haven't found any relevant info in the docs about this scenario, or maybe I have just missed it?
You could try the mentioned PowerShell.
Add-WindowsFeature System-Insights -IncludeManagementTools
Hello Dave!
Have you tried running this cmdlet on Hyper-V edition of Windows Server? I can't get this to work. It seems to me most of critical management features are not there in Hyper-V edition, including - to my surprise, DSC - let alone System Insights.Likely is unsupported but try working through this one.
Dave Patrick Thanks for the link
I have been building some tooling for Windows Server management and to my surprise Hyper-V edition is seriously lacking compared to full version in terms of manageability. Windows 10 is far more manageable than this fellow 😉 . What's worse, it seems completely undocumented as well. I have been trying to run DSC scripts for this - no avail - core DLLs are missing. Same goes with System Insights and select other features. Do you know if Windows Server Product Team has some sort of "feature comparision" between Hyper-V edition and standard one, in terms of usable roles and features? Or is there a hidden documentation somewhere?
