I was installing the DPM 2010 Beta (finally) and had an issue trying to get the SQL 2008 to install. Finally figured out that I had the install files stored too deeply in a network share. I figure this out by running the SQL install directly and when it when to check prereq’s it had [...]

Of the new features coming in the R2 versions of Windows Server 2008 and SCVMM, I think these two are the obvious winners:
Support for Live Migration: With Windows 2008 R2 adding support for Live migration, it’s now added as a new migration option in VMM R2. Live migration requires the source and destination host to [...]
