Error launching Hyper-V in Windows Server Technical Preview

Question
-
Hi,
I got this error afer enabling Hyper-V in Windows Server Technical Preview:
Hypervisor launch failed; Second Level Address Translation is required to launch the hypervisor on client SKUs.
I thougt this SLAT Requirement is only at Client Side, as the message told me...?
Because I have here an older processor in my server that doesn't have SLAT and before this prview Hyper-V with Server 2012 and 2012 R2 was no problem.
Suggestions? Thanks.Michael

Hello Michael,
The error message is correct in that SLAT is required. However, it is also incorrect in that it should be calling out server instead of client.
SLAT was not a requirement in previous server versions, but it is for the Windows Server Technical Preview.
