Mindre.net | Hyper-V Monitor Gadget for Windows Sidebar
I've created a sidebar gadget so I can see what the Hyper-V server is doing from my workstation.
The gadget can list multiple servers at once and also support vmconnect when double clicking on a VM.
PS: The gadget uses WMI to connect to the server so the user might need to follow John Howard's guide remote WMI access (Step 5) on both the client and the Hyper-V server.
