Guest Gene. Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Hi folks My sa have installed new server. It does not have any windows interface. I beleive this is Hyper-V server and does not have Windows Server 2008 Server Core Enterprise x64 as he insists. The main difference for me is next: Hyper-V support up to 4 cpu, Windows server supports 8 or more. Is there any way to clearly proof which os we are running, how many cpu does it support.

Guest Meinolf Weber Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Re: Hyper-V server: please clear confusion Hello Gene., Processors Hyper-V is supported on physical computers with up to 16 logical processors. A logical processor can be a core processor or a processor using hyper-threading technology. You can configure up to 4 virtual processors on a virtual machine. However, the number of virtual processors supported by a guest operating system might be lower. The following are some examples of supported systems and the number of logical processors they provide: A single-processor/dual-core system provides 2 logical processors. A single-processor/quad-core system provides 4 logical processors. A dual-processor/dual-core system provides 4 logical processors. A dual-processor/quad-core system provides 8 logical processors. A quad-processor/dual-core system provides 8 logical processors. A quad-processor/dual-core, hyper-threaded system provides 16 logical processors. A quad-processor/quad-core system provides 16 logical processors.

Guest Gene. Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 Re: Hyper-V server: please clear confusion Hi Weber I am getting: OperatingSystemSKU 14 Thanks to your links, I realized that limitations I read about for 4 processors limit actually meant to be physical processors. So is we have 2 4core cpus, it's fully supported. I am going to read more about Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition, Server Core. It was missleading to see no interface for 'regular' Windows Server. thank you so much for your input, it was really helpfull.
