Microsoft Hyper-V Server Requirements

As described above, Automated Application Converter supports automated repackaging on Microsoft Hyper-V Server. When preparing a Hyper-V Server for use with Automated Application Converter, make sure that the following conditions are met:

• Configuration tools—Verify that the Hyper-V configuration tools are installed on the Hyper-V server machine. These tools can be installed using the Microsoft Hyper-V Management Console.

• Connection—Verify that you can successfully connect to the Hyper-V Server from the machine where AdminStudio Automated Application Converter is installed.

• Permissions—Make sure that the Hyper-V Server user has the following permissions to perform operations on the Hyper-V machines:

  • Permission to create/restore/delete VM snapshots
  • Permission to start and stop virtual machines
  • Permission to access console sessions

• Configuration settings—Connecting to a WMI namespace on a remote computer running Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008 may require changes to configuration settings. Check the following configuration settings on the AdminStudio machine as well as on the Hyper-V Server machine:

  • Windows Firewall Settings
  • User Account Control (UAC) Settings
  • DCOM Settings
  • Common Information Model Object Manager (CIMOM) Settings
