Ran into a problem today where I needed to kill a process on a server that I didn’t have remote KVM access to and couldn’t RDP into. This particular machine had only VNC and the VNC service was hung.
Windows Server includes two commands tasklist and taskkill that allow you to remotely list the processes running on a machine and then kill these processes.

Microsoft released Hyper-V Server 2008 yesterday and it’s now available for FREE download. This is a bare-metal standalone hypervisor, meaning that you don’t install a host OS on the machine before installing this. You just install this and then create your VM’s and install the OS of choice into your VMs.
