Hyper-V Core but NOT Gui??

[un1c0rn]

Hi All,

Got a hyper-v question for you. I have a server at I use for training on
operating systems, etc. Recently I can have installed Hyper-V Core onto
this server without issue and works well....however when I install Microsoft
Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise and try to enable the Hyper-V role it
gives me the message: "Hyper-V cannot be installed. The processor on this
computer is not compatible with Hyper-V. To install this role, the
processor must have a supported version of hardware-assisted virtualization,
and that feature must be turned on in the BIOS".

I find this odd that the Hyper-V Core can be installed on this server but
not as a feature under Windows Server 2008 R2 64bit.

I have checked the BIOS and cant see anything regarding vanderpool
technology or virtualisation.

System Details:

ASUS NCLV-DS2 Server

Model ID: 8008A0

BIOS 1002 20/04/2006

CPUs (x2): Intel Xeon CPU 3.00GHz (Hyper Threading Technology Enabled)

RAM: 6144MB DDR2 400

You're not trying to run Windows Server 2008 R2 in a VM are you? VM's
don't have access to VT.

Assuming we are dealing with Xeon with VT,
check bios version

update if required

Good luck

Hi un1c0rn,

Did you ever get the Hyper-V role installed under Windows Server 2008 R2 with CPUs missing VT support?
