Microsoft has just announced a rollup update for System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 R2.  It fixes:

• A high availability virtual machine with a GPT pass-thru disk is reported is reported as “Unsupported Cluster Configuration.” 
• When you manage VMware Virtual Center that has distributed switches, the Virtual Machine Manager service (Vmmservice.exe) crashes.
• After Quick Storage Migration is completed, the Failover Cluster Management MMC snap-in reports that the VM still uses the old CSV volume.
• If a VM is configured with 3 virtual processors, the SCVMM Admin Console crashes.
• The settings for the virtual network are incorrect after a Refresh-VMHost cmdlet job is completed.

This update is being released through Windows Update.  That’s totally convenient and I love it.  Microsoft says that “if the Virtual Machine Manager or Virtual Machine Manager Agent service is running when the hotfix rollup package is installed on the Virtual Machine Manager server, you have to restart the computer”.
