Firewall for VMs on Hyper-V

hi, installing latest hyper-v release need protect vms via network firewall. microsoft have fw comes hyper-v can filter traffic between vms? or need 3rd party fw? how need traffic filtered?  hyper-v creates virtual switch vm's connected to. puts hyper-v computers on same subnet different ip's physical computer.  a way have 2 or more nic's on computer, 1 physical computer , others virtual computers. firewall @ network gateway protecting virtual computers same rest of network in setup.  most versions of windows contain software firewall may suit need if need traffic filtered intranet.    there no virtual firewall aware of you, physical firewall @ gateway should work filter traffic.

"Powershell 2 host programs that have been compiled with CLR 2"

hi, reading windows powershell system requirements , stumbled on following sentence: "..."due change in runtime activation policy in microsoft .net framework 4.0, windows powershell host programs written windows powershell 2.0 and compiled common language runtime (clr) 2.0 cannot run without modification in windows powershell 3.0, compiled clr 4.0. " can explain me? powershell host programs ? thanks, rob powershell hosts can run powershell commands; there's api out there allow developers write own hosts.  powershell.exe, ise, , powershell web access examples of hosts default.  (if remember correctly, there's separate host remoting well, wsmprovhost.exe) if you're not writing own custom powershell hosts (or using 1 third-party vendor), blurb doesn't affect you. edit:  maybe make more clear, powershell engine work of running powershell commands.  host presents user interface, whether it's console window, ise, or whatever, , hand

1 server, 3 NICs, 2 Gateways - will it work?

  hi guys,   here situation.  have server in our domain has terminal server access controlled our firewall.  server has 3 nic’s – 2 operational @ moment have default gateway of 10.0.0.1.  , our firewall goes out via 2 adsl connections.  have published ip’s on fw direct ts traffic server.  have added fibre connection to our larger office.  can use fibre connection browse internet through network , have setup gateway (say 10.0.0.2) on fibre.   what wanting allow ts session through fibre connection (as retaining access through other fw- now).  has been allocated ip address controlled firewall @ our other office.  wanting activate third nic , have default gateway of nic 10.0.0.2. people can access ts using superfast fibre – still need keep other connections in meantime.   just wondering if possible or confuse server data packets need travel?  wondering if route command can use somehow tell server info coming in on nic 3 has go out nic 3 , consequently out gateway 10.0.0.2.
