Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 - create virtual machine

Hi,

I installed Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 on a new hardrive (bare metal, no
OS previously installed).

The installation finished fine, the server is running, but I don't know how
to create a new virtual machine on the server. All I read is about using a
manager that is running on a remote Windows machine. Do I really need the
second computer to create a virtual machine on the server?

Thanks,
Lubomir

Essentially yes. While it is technically possible to create a machine using
WMI, the realistic requirement is you need the Hyper-V Manager running on a
Windows Vista SP1 or Windows Server 2008 machine.
