After a Hyper-V guest session has been created, and the settings have been properly modified to meet the expected needs of the organization, the virtual guest session can now be launched and run. Decisions need to be made whether you want the guest session to automatically launch as soon as the host server is booted, or whether you want to manually launch a guest session. Additionally, a decision needs to be made on the sequence in which guest sessions should be launched so that systems that are prerequisites to other sessions come up first. As an example, you’d want a global catalog server session and DHCP server session to come up before an application server that logs on and authenticates to Active Directory comes online and needs to authenticate to Active Directory before the server service begins.

Automatically Launching a Guest Session

One option for launching and loading guest sessions is to have the guest session boot right after the physical host server completes the boot cycle. This is typically the preferred option if a guest session is core to the network infrastructure of a network (such as a domain controller or host server system) so that in the event of a physical server reboot, the virtual guest sessions boot up automatically as well. It would not be convenient to have to manually boot each virtual server session every time the physical server is rebooted.

The option for setting the startup option for a virtual session is in the configuration settings for each guest session.

To change the startup action, do the following:

1.
From the Server Manager console or from the Hyper-V Manager MMC snap-in, right-click the virtual machine for which you want to change the setup option, and select Settings.

2.
In the Management section of the settings, click Automatic Start Action.

3.
You are provided with three options, as shown in Figure 1, of what to do with this virtual guest session upon startup of the physical host server. Either click Nothing (which would require a manual boot of the guest session), click Automatically Start If It Was Running When the Service Stopped, or click Always Start This Virtual Machine Automatically. To set the virtual session to automatically start after the physical server comes up, choose the Always Start This Virtual Machine Automatically option.

4.
Also on this setting is the ability to have an automatic start delay. This enables you to sequence the startup of virtual machines by having some VMs take longer to automatically start than others. Click OK to save these settings.

Manually Launching a Guest Session

Another option for guest session startup is to not have a guest session automatically start after a physical server boots up. This is typically the preferred option if a guest session will be part of a demonstration or test server where the administrator of the system wants to control which guest sessions are automatically launched, and which sessions need to be manually launched. It would not be convenient to have a series of demo or test sessions automatically boot up every time the system is booted. The administrator of the system would typically want to choose to start these guest sessions.

To set the startup action to manually launch a guest session, do the following:

1.
From the Server Manager console or from the Hyper-V Manager MMC snap-in, right-click the virtual machine for which you want to change the setup option, and select Settings.

2.
In the Management section of the settings, click Automatic Start Action.

3.
When provided the three options of what to do with this virtual guest session upon startup of the physical server, either click Nothing (which would require a manual boot of the guest session), click Automatically Start If It Was Running when the Service Stopped, or click Always Start This Virtual Machine Automatically. Choose the Nothing option, and the session will need to be manually started.

Save State of a Guest Session

In Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V, there are two concepts for saving guest images: being snapshots and being a saved state. At any time, an administrator can right-click a guest session and choose Save. This Save function is similar to a Hibernate mode on a desktop client system. It saves the image state into a file with the option of bringing the saved state image file back to the state the image was in prior to being saved.
