If you are down, you call them and tell them you are down and that it is a "business critical" event. I don't know what the fee for that is, but you are supposed to get a callback in 30 minutes 24x7x365. Regards, Michael B.

I keep getting to this page (2008 R2) and choosing "Virtualization" and "Other" I get support times of 6a-6pm. https://support.microsoft.com/oas/default.aspx?st=1&as=1&iid=1059&iguid=d535992c-b4dd-49a7-b4a8-2b14e5649525_1_1&x=10&y=17&c1=508&sd=gn&c=SMC&ln=en-us&prid=13020&gsaid=582847 I had a situation the other night where I thought I was going to have to call them because I uh...have a Hyper-V host that's a domain member and it was requiring connection to a DC to start a guest VM, and the guest VM was the DC it needed to talk to! Invoking some DR steps I got back in business, but still...do you need to have some kind of support contract to have them available 24x7?
