Cool. At home I have a 2008 R2 server running Hyper-V and 2 VM's on it, think I'll try the migration tonight myself....

I'm going to practice moving around some VMs using the new Live Migration functionality and see how it plays out.

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.
