Don't have enough time to create a Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2007 machine to try out in your environment? Some of us might be too lazy to admit it; but hey, if Microsoft can create a VHD for me to speed up the process - why not use it!
Microsoft released a VHD for SCVMM that contains the following pre-installed:
- Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 SP1 Trial Software (30-day version)
- Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP1
- Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0
- Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0
- Windows Remote Management (WinRM)
- Microsoft Core XML Services (MSXML) 6.0
- Windows Server Internet Information Services (IIS)
- Windows PowerShell 1.0
System Center Virtual Machine Manager provides centralized administration of virtual machine infrastructure and enables increased physical server utilization and rapid provisioning of new virtual machines by the administrator and authorized end users.
