Thx for the post. Same with 2012 R2. I waiting for vhdx resize at live mode.
As far as I know Cisco Nexus 1000V is integrated into Hyper-V Extensible Switch. What do you think of 5nine products, which use the same approach and provide similar functionality + agentless antivirus?
I didn’t had time to test 5Nine but maybe I will in the coming weeks :) I think they have a really good solution :)
