The procedure to set up automatic sign-in is easy:
Run control userpasswords2 or netplwiz to open a special "User Accounts" dialog. Find the option "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Uncheck this, then click OK and you will be prompted to enter credentials.
I prefer to bond multiple network interfaces for redundancy, however viewing and configuring the bond interface can be a bit tricky.
Multiple network links can be bonded using "active-backup" mode so that if one NIC goes down, another will take its place. This mode does not require a managed switch, however it has trouble prioritizing one interface over another. For example if you have a 1 Gbps NIC and a 10 Gbps NIC, unRAID is not smart enough to prefer the 10 Gbps NIC.
View overall bond status: cat /proc/net/bonding/bond0
Hyper-V Server does not include much in the way of graphical tools, but third-party alternatives can be installed.
I found a disturbing lack of basic instructions for using Hyper-V Server 2019, so it is my hope that this guide is useful to somebody.
Before starting this guide, enable Remote Desktop support in Hyper-V Server using the built-in configuration menu. If you connect to the Hyper-V Server with Remote Desktop, it will make it easy to copy and paste text (and later, files) from a normal Windows desktop machine.
Control.exe intl.cpl — sets up region information
Control.exe timedate.cpl — sets up date & time
Regedit — registry editor
Notepad — hmm.. what would that be?
Msinfo32.exe — displays comprehensive system information
Taskmgr.exe — can also be executed via ctrl-alt-del

ESXi's SSH server must first be enabled via the host client (web interface).
Actually, on ESXi, it is a Purple Screen of Death (PSOD)
