    Must the guest system and the virtual machine in Hyper-v both have Sp1 Beta installed , or only the guest systeem to activate Dynamic Memory?

    @Stoneboy, the Host Hyper-V Server must be have SP1 Beta installed, and the guest OS must either be a supported OS with SP1 installed, or a Support OS with the Intergration Services upgraded.  (Easily done from the Hyper-V Virtual Machine Connection window, Action|Insert Integration Services Setup Disk Hope that helps Janson

    Hi!!! I have a QNX Virtual machine installed in Windows Virtual PC (running in Windows 7). I have a problem since I can´t ping to my host machine from QNX, and consequently I can´t mount a host machine´s directory. Up to date I had Microsoft Virtual PC 2004 on a Windows XP, and it worked correctly. What can be wrong? Thanks in advance, Mikel Salaberria

    Does SCVMM 2008 R2 supports dynamic memory allocation feature? What I mean, VM templates support new memory settings and VM summary page displays amount of currently allocated memory? Also, if I have some un-supported guests (Windows XP), will they continue to run in fixed-memory mode or they won't start at all? Please advise. Thanks.
