Hyper-V Server is a stripped down installation of Windows Server core.  It comes preconfigured to automatically install just the Hyper-V role, and all other roles are removed from the installation media.  Otherwise, it would basically be the same as a core installation of Windows Server.

Saurabh,

So if I use the Host Configuration Utility, what type of version of Windows 2012r2 server I have to choose ?

[Saurabh Kothari]

Eric,

Are there options available  in the config utility?

[Chun Ming Eric Law]

Saurabh,

After you choose OS install, and choose MS Server 2012R2 then you can choose like standard, Enterprise, Datacenter  those version, but don't have Hyper-V that I can choose.

[Saurabh Kothari · Accepted solution]

• To install the Hyper-V role, Windows Server 2012 Standard or Datacenter edition is required.
• Hyper-V is only supported on x86-64 variants of Windows
• It can be installed regardless of whether the installation is a full or core installation.
• The stand-alone Hyper-V Server variant does not require an existing installation of Windows Server 2008 nor Windows Server 2008 R2. The standalone installation is called Microsoft Hyper-V Server for the non-R2 version and Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 R2.

a quick google search gave me this:
