The beauty of System Center and Hyper-V being used together is that you get a single management system for the entire computing stack.<\/p>\n<p>OpsMgr 2007 R2, with Cumulative Update 1 supports a certain set of Linux distributions, versions and architectures.&#160; Hyper-V\u2019s Linux Integration Services 2.1 supports another set.&#160; You really want to pick a Linux from the commonly supported distros.&#160; The below diagram should help with that.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/aidanfinn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/image1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-bottom: 0px;
