Using Windows 2008 Server Operating system, this allows you to create a server based virtualized computing platform.

An x64-based processor. Hyper-V is available in x64-based versions of Windows Server 2008—specifically, the x64-based versions of Windows Server 2008 Standard, Windows Server 2008 Enterprise, and Windows Server 2008 Datacenter.
Hardware-assisted virtualization. This is available in processors that include a virtualization option; specifically, Intel VT or AMD Virtualization (AMD-V).
Hardware Data Execution Protection (DEP) must be available and be enabled. Specifically, you must enable Intel XD bit (execute disable bit) or AMD NX bit (no execute bit).
An applicable example is the Intel XEON E5430 Quad core CPU

Unable to connect to remote server – error

If you get this message say from Visual Studio when trying to deploy SSRS reports to a SQL Server 2008 database instance, heres how this can be resolved. This is usually caused by kerberos security authentication. Navigate to: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS10.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\ReportServer Edit the file rsreportserver.config
Make the change below:
–>
<Add Key=“SecureConnectionLevel“ Value=“0“/>

Restart Reportserver. You should be able to deploy your reports now to SQL Server Reporting Services 2008.
