View system rsources in Hyper-V Manager?

[AMD_Gamer]

I just installed Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 and got the remote Hyper-V manager running, only questions is how do I view the system resources like task manager or how much memory/cpu is being used?

I don't know of anything graphical that works. You're supposed to be able to use performance monitor under server manager but it never worked for me, always showed the local PC instead of the remote one.

Use this in powershell-

Get-Counter -computername "name" ‘\Memory\Available MBytes’
Get-Counter -ComputerName “name” ‘\Processor(*)\% Processor Time’

You can read up on the get-counter cmdlet, you can set them for continuous sampling, etc. But this at least lets you see how much memory is left and what kind of load it's under.

Are you serious? that is dumb, now I understand why everyone is going with VMware

.

When you add a counter you can choose what computer to add the counter from? Are you saying you can't get this to work full stop or just for Hyper-V counters?

Hyper V is pretty minimal on options compared to ESX.

You just realized this?

You mean like typing "taskmgr" in the search bar and hitting enter? Either that or the Resource Monitor.

This is Hyper-V server and Hyper-V Manager.

This may be true but to be fair to MS the performance monitor capabilities aren't that shoddy, either with or without Hyper-V

Not to mention Hyper-V is basically Free. But yea overall features VMware has a leg or two up.
