Hyper-V Config Reporter

Hyper-V Config Reporter creates a report containing the configuration settings for each guest on a host, and the host's settings. The report contains everything needed to recreate the host, migrate a guest or restore a guest to a new host. This information is useful if need to migrate a guest to another host, or recover a guest to a new host and manually create the guests. This information is also useful if you use best practice standards that require the documentation of important servers' configurations.

The BackupAssist Hyper-V Config Reporter is included with the Hyper-V Advanced add-on.

To generate a report using the Hyper-V Config Reporter:

  1. Run the Hyper-V Config Reporter from the Windows Start Menu on the Hyper-V host machine, or find and run the Hyper-V Config Reporter.exe. The Hyper-V Config Reporter will display a list of guests configured on the Hyper-V host.
  2. Hyper-V Config Reporter

  3. To generate a report of your guest VM settings, select the individual guest from the list that you want, and click Generate Report. Check Include Host Security Report if you want the report to include security and access settings that have been configured on the actual Hyper-V host
  4. A HTML report will open in a new window. You can use the buttons at the top of the Hyper-V Config Reporter window to either print a copy of the report, save the report to a HTML file that can be opened with a web browser, or close the report window.
  5. Note: If you are using System Protection, the backup reports contain a Recovery Options section, which explains the BIOS, EFI and Hyper-V guest recovery options available for each System Protection backup.
