Quick question:
We have a clean host running 2012 R2 Hyper-V Core. We have a 2012 R2 Standard license and since it includes two virtual instances we want to build two 2012 R2 VMs.
We didn't install 2012 R2 standard core with Hyper-V role because the 2012 R2 Hyper-V core seemed more canned and less maintenance is involved.
Is it easy to manually activate the licensing of the two VMs or would it be better to just rebuild the host with 2012 R2 standard core to take advantage of the automatic virtual machine activation?
We have several other 2012 and 2012 R2 Hyper-V Cores running, so management is not an issue.
