So here is the VM environment I've been building out (but haven't put into production):

I'm installing Windows 7 x64 as the HOST OS. To be fair, I haven't played with Microsoft Hyper V much - I've fallen in love with VMWare Workstation 9. It's literally given me almost *no* grief, regardless of the configuration. From there, I run SBS 2011 Essentials as a guest, along with a couple of Windows 7 VM's - also as guests.

Let's say I deploy something like this as a "Test" AC machine at a small office. Since this is a testbed, I don't want to mess with their servers, routers and port forwarding, etc. I just let the people RDP into the Win 7 guest VM's take AC for a spin.

Now here's where it gets a little fuzzy. I've been loading either LogMeIn or Teamviewer on the HOST Win 7 OS, so that I can log in and control everything: HOST and GUEST machines. I understand that using Windows 7 as the HOST OS is not the best practice: bigger footprint, attack vector, etc. So I'm trying to find a solution whereby I can load the guest VM's on a Hypervisor like ESXi or Microsoft Hyper V. Problem is, without messing with their routers, etc, I don't know how to log into these Hypervisors and have control of all the machines. Is there an equivalently simple way (like LogMeIn or Teamviewer) to do this w/o messing with their infrastructure?
