Re: Seeking a good reference on managing Hyper-V server 2008 R2 from the command line?

Look at some books in your bookshop. There are also self paced training kits available from MS Press.

As far as management of Core is concerned, some recommendations:
1. It is the best to have core servers in a domain. Managing core in a workgroup can get complicated.
2. When the server is in a domain, you can manage it from GUI (mmc consoles) on another server/workstation.
3. There are simple scripts available to ease your management of typical tasks. They are menu driven (ie to change ip, press "a", to change computer name, press, "b" etc.
4. Good tool for managing Hyper-V, especially if you have several servers is System Center Virtual Machine Manager. It costs, but evaluation is available for download.

For what it is worth, I found most of what I need at this link,
http://www.microsoft.com/hyper-v-server/en/us/technical-resources.aspx.

I'd still like to get a good tutorial on managing a windows server w/o
the GUI if anybody has a recommendation.

Thanks,
John
