→An Overview of Hyper-V Integration Services
* '''Shutdown Service''' - Allows the guest operating system to be shut down cleanly using the Hyper-V Management interfaces, thereby avoiding the necessity to log into the guest and manually initiate the shutdown procedure. For example, when an administrator selects the ''Shutdown'' action for a virtual machine from with Hyper-V Manager, the parent partition communicates with the Shutdown Service running on the guest operating system to notify it of the request. The Shutdown Service then initiates the guest operating system's shut down process by making standard Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) calls.
* '''Key/Value Pair Exchange''' - The purpose of Provides the Integration Services key/value pair exchange functionality is to provide a means to set, delete, and enumerate specific information about ability for the virtual machine child and guest operating system parent partitions to exchange configuration running in a child partitioninformation through pre-defined registry entries. In this way, the case of the parent partition can request , it is able to view, set specific data values and delete registry entries in the child partition's guest operating system, or retrieve . The relevent registry entries are located in the data to expose it to third-party management or other tools.following locations:
Key/value pair data is stored in the following guest operating system registry locations:
* HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Virtual Machine\Guest\Parameters
