My first Hyper-v & server 2008

Right I now have an action pack subscription with lots of licences. I managed to grab one of the HP Microservers (with 8gb) and I am starting playing with server 2008 Enterprise.

I am used to vCenter but since hyper-v is part of the pack I'll be using that. I am mainly after if there are any major no-no's I should know about before really playing

In the longer term I'll put a DC, maybe exchange as VMs as part of the MCSE accreditation.

-----------------------
Without getting too bogged down I am looking at using MSE for the server rather than individual VM virus protection. Mainly for the price reason as not many seem to do free server AV. The VMs will be using internal network so they will never be net facing. Any suggestions better than MSE for the server?
