How to install a graphical desktop environment on Hyper-V Server 2019
Hyper-V Server 2019 GUI Installation Guide
Introduction
Hyper-V Server does not include much in the way of graphical tools, but third-party alternatives can be installed.
I found a disturbing lack of basic instructions for using Hyper-V Server 2019, so it is my hope that this guide is useful to somebody.
Before starting this guide, enable Remote Desktop support in Hyper-V Server using the built-in configuration menu. If you connect to the Hyper-V Server with Remote Desktop, it will make it easy to copy and paste text (and later, files) from a normal Windows desktop machine.
I prefer to bond multiple network interfaces for redundancy, however viewing and configuring the bond interface can be a bit tricky.
Bonding mode: active-backup
Multiple network links can be bonded using "active-backup" mode so that if one NIC goes down, another will take its place. This mode does not require a managed switch, however it has trouble prioritizing one interface over another. For example if you have a 1 Gbps NIC and a 10 Gbps NIC, unRAID is not smart enough to prefer the 10 Gbps NIC.
Viewing Network Interface Status
View overall bond status:
cat /proc/net/bonding/bond0
The procedure to set up automatic sign-in is easy:
Run control userpasswords2 or netplwiz to open a special "User Accounts" dialog. Find the option "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Uncheck this, then click OK and you will be prompted to enter credentials.
To install Windows 7's Photo Viewer app in Windows 10, install the Restore_Windows_Photo_Viewer_ALL_USERS_with_Sort_order_fix.reg file and then in Settings > Default apps, configure it as the default photo viewer. This option does cause Windows Photo Viewer to be listed twice in Open with -> Choose an app. I choose the version with the pretty icon.
To add a Windows context menu item "Edit With GIMP", download RegEditWithGimp.reg, edit the version number in the exe path to match your actual GIMP exe, and then double-click the reg file to install it into the registry.
