Host Group Overview: Available Resources
I think it would be great if instead of pretty useless "overall MB\s" and "monthly storage MBPS" we could see an overview of available resources for a host group:
- Storage (Used\Available for Placement)
- Memory (used\available for new VMs)
- Top N hosts running out of resources (3-5 hosts)
- Top N free hosts (2-5 hosts)1 vote -
Cluster Deployment -> Logical Switch Deployment / Static IP address assignment
If a Hyper-V cluster is created with VMM you can only create a Standard Switch on all Hyper-V hosts. It would be better to select a Logical Switch here.
Another pain point is the assignment of a static IP address to the cluster. In the 2012 R2 release sometimes it works that the option will be visible sometimes not. A drop down menu where I can choose between DHCP or static assignment would be better.

Patch Baselines - add "All xxxxx Servers" for each type
When working with Baselines for patching, it's possible to choose "All hosts" so all new hosts are automatically added to that Baseline.
But there is currently not possible to also pick "All infrastructure Servers" or "All PXE Servers" so when a new server of that type is added, it's automatically included in the baselines just as a host would be.3 votesDue to the low voters for this idea, we have declined this idea.

It would be great if VMM could use the pre-approval groups and rules already setup in WSUS.

Make it possible to choose migration method when more than one would be technically available
When it's technically possible to move a VM with both Live Migration and BITS, then make it possible to choose which method should be used for that transfer.

Library Share without Windows
In this moment a library must be on a Window Server and this is not good because for vhdx, iso, scripts and more could be used share on a remote storage, like QNAP or others, where the agent cannot be installed.

Improve Update Console
Update console is too "poor" because I can't see who many servers need a specific update and if the update is obsolete or not. The console must be improved like WSUS

File Server Share Creation Creates Incorrect Share Type for Hyper-V
When creating a new share against a Windows File Server through ther VMM GUI the share is created using the SMB Share - Quick profile. This profile selects the options to allow caching of the share and is not the recommended share type per Microsoft. The recommended profile to use is SMB Share - Applications.
