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!
• Better overall performance and scalability
• Every feature from Beta 1 with more functionality and enhancements
