issue running virtualized EBS on Hyper-V RC1
Freitag, 20. Juni 2008

If you are running into issues with virtualized EBS running on the Release Candidate 1 of Hyper-V (the one that you'll get streamed down by Microsoft Update by now), then you should use the leagacy (older) Networkadapters at least for the EBS Security server (both internal and external).
Both other EBS servers may use the VMBus aware synthetic networkadapters of Hyper-V, but the RC version of Forefront Thread Management Gateway (TMG | exISA) seems to have an issue with those new network adapters, although it worked in former RCs of Hyper-V.
