I seem to be running into the same problem you were having before you found the team blog you referenced. I'm able to set the autopagefile to True or False successfully, but even after rebooting, I'm getting a "No Instance(s) Available" message. I've paid VERY close attention to syntax, spaces, and have even attempted different sizes. Any thoughts or recommendations?<br /><br />Thanks,<br />RyanUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12963170350810627120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5976686513564131325.post-37025144741164639952010-03-09T12:33:44.502-07:002010-03-09T12:33:44.502-07:00Hi,

We have a couple of Hyper-V servers hosting test machines and located remotely. These servers can remain unused for weeks so we would like to shut them down but be able to wake them up when needed. The server we use are Dell PowerEdge 610 with embedded Broadcom BCM5709 cards.Xaviernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5976686513564131325.post-47588144352735215492009-06-28T20:41:31.220-06:002009-06-28T20:41:31.220-06:00Fischnets,

Yo...I am working on a Hyper-V 2008 server install. Your comments here are a GREAT help. I am wondering about a couple things as I fumble through this. <br />1: How to decide how much disk space to alocate to Hyper-V Server 2008, I chose 75 gig for no apparent reason.<br />2: I have 16 gigs of ram, so am making the swap partition 25 gigs. Not sure the thought process I should have on this. Not sure of the whole Swapfile in a seperate partition concept. It seems like a good idea...Randy Fischerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13162878081166870705noreply@blogger.com
