Greetings from Virtual Machine Manager team, thank you for your continuous support on our product. We are happy to announce that SCVMM Beta 2 is ready for download! This latest version of Virtual Machine Manager - Beta 2 - represents a major step forward in providing IT administrators with a fully featured, easy-to-use and integrated suite of management tools to tackle even the most distributed and complex virtualization migrations.

While the improvements in Beta 2 are too long to list, here is a preview of the major upgrades in this release:

Completely new, easy-to-use and intuitive UI based on the System Center look-and-feel (same as System Center Operations Manager 2007, Service Desk and System Center Essentials)

Physical-to-Virtual (P2V) Conversions (Windows Server� 2000 or Windows Server 2003 are supported)

Virtual-to-Virtual (V2V) Conversions - Using the Windows PowerShell� interface, converts a VMWare disk or a whole VM to the analogous VS vhd\vm representation

64-bit VMM server support

Every VMM component is now remotely installable, including the VMM server, library server, delegated provisioning portal, administrative console and data store

Full Windows PowerShell support with documentation - automate away!
