Microsoft.SystemCenter.VirtualMachineManager.2008.Engine.NewHostAdding.rule (Rule)

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

The server is being added to System Center Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) as a managed virtual machine host.

If the server already is hosting virtual machines through Microsoft Hyper-V or Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 R2, the VMM agent will be installed, and Virtual Machine Manager will begin managing the host its virtual machines. If the server is not already a host, either Hyper-V (on computers running Windows Server 2008 SP1) or Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1 with Update KB948515 (on computers running Windows Server 2003) are installed along with the VMM agent. For more information, see Adding Hosts (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=121818) in VMM 2008 R2 Help

Causes

A VMM administrator added the server to Virtual Machine Manager as a virtual machine host. If the server already is hosting virtual machines through Hyper-V or Virtual Server
