My group needs to start evaluating Windows 10 for development and we have a SCVMM 2012 R2 Update 4 environment. We are trying to create VM Templates of the Windows 10 machines (we've installed Visual Studio editions) and when we try to install Guest Services on the VMs we get the following error message:

The configuration registry database is corrupt (0x800703F1).

Does SCVMM 2012 R2 support Windows 10 Technical Preview/Windows 10 Consumer Preview?

Or do we have to upgrade to System Center Technical Preview?

Is it possible\recommended to upgrade SCVMM 2012 R2 to System Center Technical Preview?

it is not possible to use VMM 2012 R2 to manage Windows 10 tech preview Hyper-V

You will have to use the System Center Tech Preview..

In the future will we be able to use VMM 2012 R2 to manage Windows 10 when it's released later this year?

Is System Center Tech Preview Go Live?

You may have seen this already, but Update Rollup 7 for VMM 2012 R2 came out last week and the release note includes the following:

Support for Windows 10 Client Operating System

After you install this update, you can provision and customize Windows 10 Client Virtual Machines (VMs). This support does not include installing Virtual Machine Manager Console on Windows 10 operating system clients.

I'm updating VMM and downloading the Enterprise LTSB ISO from MSDN right now. Fingers crossed!

Cheers,

Barney.
