In this episode of SysAdmin Weekly, Andy and Eric wade through the sometimes mess that is managing Hyper-V. From MMC snap-ins to Azure Arc and everything in between, we’re talking about the confusing pile of tools Microsoft throws at you when you just want to manage some virtual machines.
Topics include:
- The evolution (and stagnation) of Hyper‑V Manager
- Why Failover Cluster Manager feels like an insider secret
- SCVMM: A tool that should be great… but isn’t
- Windows Admin Center and its 80-inch monitor problem
- Azure Arc: Is it helpful or just cloud cosplay?
- PowerShell, Live Migration, CSVs, and sysadmin war stories
If you've ever screamed at a clustered VM that just *won’t* move, this episode’s for you.
