Hyper-V Connector

About Hyper-V Connector

Hyper-V connector is installed on Microsoft Hyper-V or SCVMM servers to enable them as dedicated session providers in HyWorks deployments.

Note

  • Running HyWorks setup from from UNC path is not supported and will result in setup failure. It is needed to copy HyWorks setups locally on target servers instead of running them from UNC path.
  • Running HyWorks setup may also fail during file extraction, if logged-in user is having roaming profile. In this case, login with local administrator user will be required.

The features supported by different Microsoft Hyper-V/SCVMM Servers configured as dedicated session provider in HyWorks is listed here.
