Hyper-V: Remote FX Survival Guide

Hyper-V: Remote FX Survival Guide

At customer events a few years ago, we started handing out one-page "Survival Guides" (printed both sides and laminated) with links to important resources. The wiki versions of the Survival Guides are meant to do the same things without killing trees or using laminating machines. This one is for a new feature available in Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1.
