Overall Satisfaction with Windows Server
We are in a migration process from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2012 R2 with Hyper-V. We have virtualized all site based servers so there is only one physical server and and 5 virtuals. This process has made deployments faster, easier and cost effective. If you're a Return on Investment kind of person then you should differently invest in Hyper-V.
The product addresses the ever growing need to integrate newer technologies and keeping the total cost down so your budget can be used elsewhere.

- Microsoft Hyper-V, a great tool to virtualize physical servers.
- Ease of management, you can manage the server from the host or from your desktop.... win win, and i don't mean rdc
- Supported OS
- Hyper-V needs to include USB pass though.
- Smaller footprint installation.
- The only thing i would have done differently is automated the deployments to speed up the process.
- Fast OS deployments
- Hyper-V Virtualization, get rid of aging servers.
- Ease of Support, I view this as a ROI because I'm not spending much needed time trying to manage it like with previous operating systems.
- It increased efficiency in our remote management department and gave us the ability to perform other roles.
- Vmware
Only thing I miss was the passthough of usb devices. We were already a windows shop so we went with that over vmware.
