Xen? KVM? Either way, I think the answer is yes. ## [https://www.suse.com/documentation/sled11/singlehtml/book\_xen/book\_xen.html](https://www.suse.com/documentation/sled11/singlehtml/book_xen/book_xen.html) Good luck.

Similarly [https://www.suse.com/documentation/sles11/book\_kvm/data/book\_kvm.html](https://www.suse.com/documentation/sles11/book_kvm/data/book_kvm.html) is the SLES11 SP3 KVM documentation. The SLES11 SP2 Xen and KVM docs are available as PDFs within [https://www.suse.com/documentation/sles11/pdfdoc/sles11\_sp2.zip](https://www.suse.com/documentation/sles11/pdfdoc/sles11_sp2.zip) and do not list Windows Server 2012 as a supported virtual guest for either KVM or Xen. ## HTH.

It is however supported within both on SLES11 SP3. ## HTH.

That would be the way to go. – Kevin Boyle - Knowledge Partner If you find this post helpful and are logged into the web interface, show your appreciation and click on the star below…
