Support Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V in VMM 2019
I know System requirements for System Center Virtual Machine Manager (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/system-center/vmm/system-requirements?view=sc-vmm-2019) does not list Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V as being a supported Hyper-V host in a VMM 2019 environment. And there's a difference between "not officially supported" and "officially not supported". VMM 2019 simply does not allow you to install its agent on a Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V server:
Error (20523)

VMM WSUS to update S2D Hyper-converged clusters
Currently VMM 1807 does not support using a Fabric defined WSUS Update server for updating nodes of a S2D Hyper-converged infrastructure cluster; in fact there within Microsoft VMM documentation there is a "Note" that explicitly states the following:
“..Note that you cannot update servers part of a Storage Spaces Direct cluster (either hyper-converged or disaggregated) using VMM and trying to patch these using VMM may cause data loss.”Yes, MAY CAUSE DATA LOSS!!
First idea is that this should not be a mere Note, it should be flagged as a WARNING-DATA LOSS IS POSSIBLE.
Second, how does the VMM group…

Stop using Win32_Product for DHCP Agent version discovery
Since UR5 VMM polls the Hyper-V hosts every half hour for the DHCP agent version. The Win32_Product WMI class is used for this.
Because this class is used, every half hour MSIEXEC processes will run consistency and reconfiguration steps for all MSI packages on all Hyper-V hosts. This results in a flood wave of Application Event ID 1035 occurring every 30 minutes.
The overall impact I cannot oversee as I don't know what is actually reconfigured.
You can validate VMM is the cause of these calls by enabling WMI tracing.Microsoft itself actually advises (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/974524) not to use…

Why reboot after deep discovery?
It would be nice if there was an option (i.e. a checkbox in GUI) to avoid a reboot after deep discovery is done, as it is very likely that the bare metal deployment process will follow after that. If it could wait for the user provided configurations and continue once those are provided, it would save a reboot, which on modern servers can take a while.
1 voteThis changed in SCVMM 2012 R2, where bare-metal deployment can start after deep discovery without rebooting the machine.
