Hyper-V Monitor Gadget for Windows Sidebar

June 21, 2008 18:41 by Tore Lervik

I've created a sidebar gadget so I can see what the Hyper-V server is doing from my workstation.
The gadget can list multiple servers at once and also support vmconnect when double clicking on a VM.
PS: The gadget uses WMI to connect to the server so the user need remote WMI access (Step 5) on the Hyper-V server.

Version history

2.2 - Minor changes in the settings dialog

2.1 - First public version

How to use vmconnect

- Go to settings in the gadget
- Browse for vmconnect
- Locate and select the vmconnect (should be in your Program Files/Hyper-V/ folder)
- Save the settings
- Now you should see a hand when you hold the mouse over a VM, try double clicking on it.

Feel free to spread the gadget around the world, but link to this site and not directly to the gadget :-)
