The Release Candidate 1 (RC1) of Hyper-V is now available as a optional update on Windows Update. Optional updates are not installed automatically by default. To install the update open the Windows Update control panel and click “ View available updates ” under the “ Install Updates ” button. Then check the Update for Windows Server 2008 (KB950049) and click install.
If you don’t see the update listed there could be a few reasons:
1) You may find that you need to click the “
Check for Updates
” or “
Check online for updates from Windows Update
”
2) Depending on how busy the Windows Update servers are it may take a few days to get pushed out to every server.
3) If you have the HP Network Configuration Utility installed you should refer to
KB950792
.
For additional information about RC1 see the previous Hyper-V RC1 Release Available on Microsoft Download Center! post.
Enjoy and Happy Virtualizing!
