That wasn&#8217;t really ideal and, these days, I&#8217;m back on a client OS &#8211; Windows 7 as it happens&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Even so, I&#8217;ve been discussing the concept of a developer workstation with my friend and colleague, Garry Martin, for some time now.  I say &#8220;developer&#8221;, because Garry works in our application services business but the setup I came up with is equally valid for sysadmins who need a client side virtualisation solution (and no, type 2 hypervisors do not cut it &#8211; I want to run on bare metal!).<\/p>\n<p>I finally got <a href=\"https:\/\/www.markwilson.co.uk\/blog\/2009\/07\/running-windows-from-a-usb-flash-drive.htm\">Hyper-V Server running from a USB flash drive<\/a> a few days before <a href=\"https:\/\/www.markwilson.co.uk\/blog\/2009\/07\/hyper-v-is-now-supported-on-flash-drives.htm\">Microsoft announced that it is a supported scenario<\/a> (although I still haven&#8217;t seen the OEM document that describes the supported process).  That provided the base for my solution&#8230; something that anyone with suitable hardware can use to boot from USB into a development environment, without any impact on their corporate build.  Since then, I&#8217;ve confirmed that the RTM version of Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 works too (my testing was on the RC).<\/p>\n<p>Next, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.markwilson.co.uk\/blog\/2009\/08\/injecting-network-drivers-into-a-hyper-v-server-or-windows-server-installation.htm\">I integrated the network card drivers for my system<\/a> before starting to customise the Hyper-V Server installation.  This is just the same as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.markwilson.co.uk\/blog\/2007\/08\/a-few-commands-to-get-started-with-windows-server-core.htm\">working with a server core installation of Windows Server<\/a> but these days <code>sconfig.vbs<\/code> makes life easier (e.g. when setting up the computer name, network, remote management, Windows updates, etc.), although it was still necessary to manually <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.dirteam.com\/blogs\/sanderberkouwer\/archive\/2007\/08\/13\/changing-server-core-s-look-and-feel-part-1.aspx\">invoke the <code>control intl.cpl<\/code> and <code>control timedate.cpl<\/code> commands<\/a> to convince Hyper-V that I&#8217;m in the UK not Redmond&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Other changes that I made included:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Using the built in FTP client (<code>ftp.exe<\/code>) to download a selection of my favourite tools for use when working with server core\/Hyper-V Server: a Windows port of the GNU <code>wget<\/code> utility; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.7-zip.org\/\">7-Zip<\/a>; and <code><a href=\"https:\/\/www.markwilson.co.uk\/blog\/2004\/09\/command-line-alternative-to-windows.htm\">devcon.exe<\/a><\/code>.
