Safeguard encryption on Hyper V host and/or hyper V clients

nf over 8 years ago

Is it possible to encrypt the Hyper V VM clients? or is that not supported?

Greetings,

The SGN Client only supports VMware Workstation and Player as virtualization platform. All other platforms like VMware ESX/ESXi Server, Microsoft Virtual PC or Microsoft Hyper-V are not supported.

Please find the link below for your reference

Hi Nf,

I could brief you on it but before that, May I ask what is the current version of Safeguard you are using ?

Thanks & Regards

Hi Nf,

Got it. May I ask what version of Windows server are you trying to host as the Hyper V virtual operating System. The reason I asked is because, If you want to use Windows Server 2012 with Hyper-V as a host Operating System and run i.e. Windows Server 2008 R2 as a virtual machine - that has not been explicitly tested by QA but shouldn't be a problem at all. Some of our techs run test/lab environments with this configuration.

Thanks & Regards

The host will be 2012-R2 and the VM will be the same.
