System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 Pre req

As announced System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 is in BETA.

Something to share on the pre-req:

1) SCVMM 2008 to install in Windows Server 2008 only

2) To install self service portal; For IIS, you will need:
a) Web Server (IIS) Role with Common HTTP features, Static Content, Default Document, Directory Browsing, HTTP Errors, Application Development, ASP.NET, .NET Extensibility, ISAPI Extensions, ISAPI Filters, Security, Request Filtering.
b) You will also need to add role service: IIS 6 Management Compatibility

You can install VMM Server, VMM Console as well as Self Service Portal in the same machine. However, if managing a big virtual infrastructure, you might want to split them.
