Hyper-V Update

 

Today, the Hyper-V team released a few important Hyper-V updates in a single package via Windows Update. These updates have been publicly available for some time now, but they're now including these as a single roll-up for the convenience of customers. There are three issues resolved with this update:

· Compatibility with Intel Nehalem Processors

· Compatibility with Intel Westmere Processors

· A network issue when, under extreme network load, the VM network connection is lost.

 

For specifics on the issues resolved with this update, please see the following KB article:

Given the traffic load that a Forefront Edge deployment can place on the virtual network, this seems like a good patch to apply to your Hyper-V parents.
