I am trying to determine once for all if Windows Small Business Server 2011 can be used in a two node failover cluster running Hyper-V Server 2008 R2. The SBS documentation says the best way to run SBS 2011 is to run it with Hyper-V Server in
a Workgroup. I want to configure a highly available SBS 2011 and Premium Add on VM and create a two node cluster using Hyper-V Server. One problem I have is that I can't manage the cluster without joining a domain. So I am wondering if I
can install SBS as a VM on the Hyper-V server and promote it to a domain controller. Then I was going to join the first Hyper-V Server to the same domain and then join the second Hyper-V Server to the domain and put together the cluster. Will this
work and if not how should I set it up? Thanks a lot
