Beware of domain joining a Hyper-V host when the only DC is a VM on the same host. Can be a problem if the DC won't boot and you can only manage the host with a domain account! For those environments, workgroup, or managing using a local account just as though it was a workgroup, is the better practice.

Or are most people domain joining them. My initial thought was to have them all in a perimeter network with no domain, but with VMM inside the domain. Finding some limitations to this configuration. Specifically in regards to the libraries. you can't transfer VM's from a host in a perimeter network to a library on the VMM server in the domain. Can't see thumbnails either, but that seems minor in comparison.
