Microsoft Hyper-V snapshots

Interesting thting I just found out about snapshots in Hyper-V. Like snapshots in VMware, they freeze the base disk and store all disk changes in delta files which just keep growing. So, like VMware snapshots, they are not a good thing to have around for a long time.

Timer issues under Hyper-V

Guys,

I just had an interesting case where a hyper-V guest was having group policy and other domain related issues due to not being able to contact a DC. I checked DNS by first pinging the DNS server (the hyper-V host) and got ping times like:

>ping 10.0.0.61 –t

Pinging 10.0.0.61 with 32 bytes of data:
