I think it only comes down to what this box needs to do for you? If it requires any other roles (DHCP, WINS, DNS, DC, etc....) then Hyper-V server isn't what your looking for.

Next question….how nervous should I be about the guests if on the host I go from full 2008 w/ Hyper-V as the host to 2012 Hyper-V (effectively server core). Seems pretty simple on the surface, am I overlooking anything obvious? I guess the fallback would be to reinstall the full 2008 R2 OS, as least protecting the VM’s themselves is pretty straightforward. Time eater, but technically simple. Time for more research.
