I had a good time yesterday with Greg & Martin chatting about Lab Management in the latest episode of Radio TFS.  If you don’t subscribe to the Radio TFS podcast series, I would definitely recommend it.  They are roughly 30-minute episodes and are an easy listen that you can fit into your weekly routine.

Where can I find if Lab Management works with Unix and Mainframe code and environments?

Hi Dan,

Lab Management does not support installing the Test Agents on a Unix or Mainframe environment. However, you may be able to compose an SCVMM environment of a Unix machine if Hyper-V and System Center Virtual Machine Manager support the operating system. We will treat it has though it is part of the Lab Management environment but you will not be able to do everything you would be able to do in a Windows-based machine that is part of an environment.

I don't know of any mainframe platform that would be supported by Hyper-V or System Center Virtual Machine Manager.
