I know it's wrong, but I put datacenter 12 as the hypervisor so I could just have at it. This is only a test environment, of course, but even on a T3500 desktop it runs pretty well. No license worries, though....
Nothing really wrong with it in my opinion. Installing it as core+gui for initial setup and then backing it down to core only after the hyper-v setup is done is still a solid hyper-visor.
Ya know, I never thought to put it back to just core... but I use the host machine for stuff too. Q4 is when we get new hardware... dammit.

That part is the wrong part. You are using DC, just spin up another Windows VM.

Just got back from our first load to the storage unit. Managed to get away with a little 5x5 unit for just $22/mo. Not too bad.

@Dashrender I deployed an 8 this week because of licensing. Unless you're 12 on the hypervisor the licencing gets really screwball (which is why we bought datacenter(and the cause of our issues) )
The hypervisor has nothing to do with what you can use on top of it. Licensing from the hypervisor comes down purely to "virtualization: yes or now". What the hypervisor is never changes the licensing of Windows on top of it.

That's not a good design. It's "legal" because it is DC licensing but it would be very bad with standard licensing. But it is an anti-best practice in general. Remember the "host" machine is not the host, it's a control environment designed to only be used to manage HyperV, never should anything else happen there.

I am trying to imagine a use for 2,400 3.5" HDD per year.

Did they wake up when they smelt the pizza or are they night-time-party-people?

It's always a struggle to get them in bed before 1am.
