Microsoft just released the Hyper-V security guide.
You can download it here, or read about it online here.
Chapter 1: Hardening Hyper-V This chapter provides prescriptive guidance
for hardening the Hyper-V role. It discusses several best practices for installing
and configuring Hyper-V on Windows Server 2008 server with a focus on security.
These best practices include measures for reducing the attack surface of a server
running Hyper-V and recommendations for properly configuring secure network
and storage devices.
Chapter 2: Delegating Virtual Machine Management This chapter discusses several
available methods for delegating virtual machine management so that virtual
machine administrators only have the minimum permissions they require.
It describes common delegation scenarios, and includes detailed steps to guide
you through using Authorization Manager (AzMan) and System Center Virtual Machine
Manager 2008 (VMM 2008) to separate virtual machine administrators from
virtualization host administrators.
Chapter 3: Protecting Virtual Machines This chapter provides prescriptive guidance
for securing virtual machine resources. It discusses best practices and includes
detailed steps for protecting virtual machines by using a combination of file
system permissions, encryption, and auditing. Also included are resources for
hardening and updating the operating system instances running within you
virtual machines.

I did some work on the Accelerator installer for this project page last night.
But the installer will only handle 2 websites at this point.
Had some issues with the xml file and & signs.
If you go to the Accelerator Installer page and install the PowerShellUG.com
search accelerator you will see this:
Just click Add and the Search Accelerator are installed.
Mark some text on a web page and click on the accelerator button,
All accelerators and then you will se the “Search PowerShellUG.com”
accelerator.
The how-to will be posted later today and then I will post the next step
in this project. My Search Accelerator Maker in PowerShell.

My first project here at PowerAdmin.se will be IE8 Accelerators.
I have done 3 easy accelerators by now.
- Search accelerator for www.powershellug.com
The Scandinavian PowerShell User Group
- Search accelerator for www.itproffs.se
Largest IT-Pro community in Sweden with over 160 000 posts.
- Search accelerator for www.itbloggen.se
An IT-Blog community with IT-Bloggers from Sweden.
In short these accelerators will let you mark a string and then use a site to search for the string.
I will post a url to the installation file for these accelerators tonight.
And then I will post how I did it and some more information about IE8 accelerators.

Jaykul (Joel Bennett) wrote a blog post about login + membership to PowerShell on Microsoft Connect some time ago.
http://huddledmasses.org/please-open-up-powershell-on-connect/
I agree with him, this is not good for PowerShell and The PowerShell Community.
Please respond to the feedback,
