Adding Microsoft Virtual Server to VMM

In this article I am just adding step by step guide on how to add Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 R2 to System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 ( the snapshot are from VMM 2008 R2)

From the VMM Admin Console select Add Host from the Action Menu/Pane

 

$Credential = get-credential
$VMHostGroup = Get-VMHostGroup -VMMServer localhost | where {$_.Path -eq "All Hosts\Class D"}

Add-VMHost -VMMServer localhost -ComputerName "virtualserver12.omsdemo.oms" -Description "" -Credential $Credential -RemoteConnectEnabled $true -VmPaths "C:\SystemCenter" -Reassociate $false -RunAsynchronously -RemoteConnectPort 5900 -VMHostGroup $VMHostGroup

It May fail if your did not have all the prerequisites

1- Microsoft Virtual Server R2 SP1

2- Certain patch for VS  KB948515.msp

3- The BITS service should not be disabled

4- WS-Management is installed and started.

or It will success with the below screen.
