Hi All
I've looked high & low and not found an answer to my question so far. I've got a windows 2008 r2 server with upgrade rights to 2012, running only a couple of linux vm's, but have a requirement in the near future to add another Windows server instance to our environment.
Everything I've read so far says that 2012 standard comes with the rights to run two vm instances if the physical hardware is either running Windows Hyper-v 2012, or Windows Server 2012 with only the hyper-v role installed.
What if I choose to run the Windows Server 2012 (after upgrading from 2008 r2) with hyper-v role, file & print sharing, and AD. Do I have the rights to install none, one, or two VM 2012 instances ?
The server has two processors
Thanks in advance
Simon
