I've done it in VMWare free server many times with no problem and am actually installing a WS03 template server on Hyper-v at this moment. I'll let you know how it works later today.

Forgive me if this is a dumb question. I need to create a couple of virtual servers in Hyper-V with the same OS. Can I create a VHD, install the OS to it and patch it up, then just make copies of that VHD to use in multiple virtual servers? Obviously in each virtual server I'd rename the machine. Are there any problems with doing this? Like the kinds of things you'd see with cloning hard drives with Windows client OS's (e.g., duplicate SIDs)?
