Hyper-V Update on Windows Web Server 2008?

[Guest Wojciech Kowasz]

Hello,

 

I'm wondering if anyone tried to install Hyper-V Release Update (KB950050)

on Windows Web Server 2008 x64? It has shown up recently in my Windows

Update as a recommended download, but as far as I know, Web Server is not

licensed to have Hyper-V role installed. I would go for it providing it is

some kind of management tools only - I don't want a full Hyper-V on my web

server as it would mess it up... Could someone please help me? What exactly

will be installed after KB950050 on Web Server x64? Is it safe to install in

this scenario?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Best regards,

Wojciech Kowasz

Hello Wojciech,

 

See here:

It popped also up on one machine in my test environment 2008 EE without Hyper-V.

Maybe it has to do that under features you have some Hyper-V tools, which

you can add for RSAT, role administration tools.

 

Best regards
