Hello there,
I did everything described to enable Aero on a Windows Server 2008 R2
running as a virtual machine on Hyper-V. Any ideas why it’s not working?!
Here is my environment:
Remote Desktop Host: Windows Server 2008 R2 running as a virtual machine on
Hyper-V; RDH role and Desktop experience feature installed; Themes service
running; Desktop composition for RDH enabled through Group policy;
Client: Windows 7
Remote desktop connection: 32-bit color depth set; Desktop composition
checked.

Cheers,
Daniella Slavcheva

I don't think the VM Bus Video device will support aero.
You'll need to run WS2008R2 on a physical machine with the supported video
card and drivers.
Thanks
Soo Kuan
