Well I had started to write a guide for this already, but just when I was to create this entry I came across a guide that’s already really good.
So I’m just going to link to Pete Long’s blog where I found it:

You may get this message when you open up Exchange Management Console (EMC) for Exchange 2010.
"Connecting to remote server failed with the following error message : The WinRM client received an HTTP server error status (500), but the remote service did not Include any other information about the cause of the failure. It was running command 'Discover-ExchangeServer -UseWIA $true ..."
And you may also not be able to connect to your Exchange server from Exchange Management Shell together with the following error message:
"VERBOSE: Connecting to servername.domainname.local New-PSSession : [servername.domainname.local ] Connecting to remote server failed with the following error message : The WinRM client received an HTTP server error status (500), but the remote service did not include any other information about the cause of the failure."
(the same shows up 3 times)

As far as I know, after some googling I couldn’t find any program that could take backups of Virtual Machines running on Hyper-V Core when the .VHD files were located on a Cluster Shared Storage.
If you read my previous post you can probably understand you aren’t able to install any advanced programs in the Core-version either because many required runtime files and libraries aren’t available.
Therefore I decided to write a PowerShell script that would export the machines to a network storage server.

Microsoft Windows Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 is a free version much like Windows Server 2008 R2 Core, except it comes with the Hyper-V role preconfigured.
The only thing you will have to take in consideration before installing such a server is that Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 only comes with a PowerShell/CMD-prompt. So to configure such a server you should learn some Windows commands and PowerShell cmdlets.
