I use windows server 2008r2 with role Hyper-V. The guest system is Ubuntu 12.04 LTC. There is local network between Ubuntu and other machines.

EDIT The main problem for me is that my quest OS is Ubuntu 12.04 LTC. As I know, mouse support is not included in the Hyper-V Linux integration components.

4.2.2.2. Graphics and mouse integration

In Linux and Solaris guests, VirtualBox graphics and mouse integration goes through the X Window System. VirtualBox can use the X.Org variant of the system (or XFree86 version 4.3 which is identical to the first X.Org release). During the installation process, the X.Org display server will be set up to use the graphics and mouse drivers which come with the Guest Additions.

After installing the Guest Additions into a fresh installation of a supported Linux distribution or Solaris system (many unsupported systems will work correctly too), the guest's graphics mode will change to fit the size of the VirtualBox window on the host when it is resized. You can also ask the guest system to switch to a particular resolution by sending a "video mode hint" using the VBoxManage tool.

How can I achieve graphics and mouse integration with hyper-v and ubuntu?

Answer for the first part of the question Today it is impossible

I have vhd file. Can I create a virtual machine from this file in Virtualbox, work with this OS, then create a virtual machine in Hyper-V when all work will be done?

    The mouse should work without you having to do anything. Exactly how are you opening your connection to the guest? – Michael Hampton Nov 14 '13 at 15:44
  • The mouse works. The problem is that the mouse works not good. I watch mouse's jerky movement. Also windows move slowly. I do not like it. Such problem was when I used virtualbox without guest additions. I open this connection from hyper-v manager. It is the same: c:\Program Files\Hyper-V\vmconnect.exe – AmShegar Nov 14 '13 at 16:01

    @AmShegar You answered your own question: `As I know, mouse [integration] support is not included in the Hyper-V Linux integration components.` It is not supported, ergo *you can't do it*. If you would like it to be supported, contact Microsoft. As a business, they implement what their customers demand, so if enough people ask for Linux/X11 mouse integration capabilities maybe they'll do it... – voretaq7 Nov 15 '13 at 06:42

If you install the Windows RSAT tools and include the Hyper-V management roles then you can use c:\Program Files\Hyper-V\vmconnect.exe to connect to the console of the VM.

  • What do you mean? my mouse does not move good, windows move slowly (my quest OS - Ubuntu). I want to connect to this OS by another protocol to solve this problem. Is it real? What do I must install on the ubuntu? – AmShegar Nov 14 '13 at 11:12
  • Also, on the other machines with Windows there are OS Windows Server 2003 and Windows7. How can I find c:\Program Files\Hyper-V\vmconnect.exe ? – AmShegar Nov 14 '13 at 11:20
