It is very simple to install Windows Server 2012 on VirtualBox 4.2.4 and there is more and more demos or documents in Internet for reference. After install this OS, I get the error when I want to enable Hyper-V role and add the related features.

Even though I search some articles and teach us to change
hypervisorlaunchtype parameter from
auto to
off, the result still is failure.

Whether the processor does not support virtualization? No, because I ever confirm this by Intel & Microsoft utility and the Hyper-V can be installed on host machine. (My host OS is Windows 8 version.)
I don’t know how to resolve this problem now. So I decide to install Hyper-V Server 2012 RTM on VirtualBox for testing.
VirtualBox SettingTo Create a VM and the configuration is the same as Windows Server 2012

In
Processor tab, choose
Enable PAE/NX check box

In
System/Acceleration tab, choose
Enable VT-x/AMD-V and
Enable Nested Paging check box

In
Network/Adapter 1 tab, Select
Intel PRO/1000 MT Server (82545EM) Adapter Type
(# 1)
After finish the above steps, we can mount/boot download ISO file
(# 2) and power on this VM now.
Install Hyper-V Server 2012As install Server version, the first screen still is to choose Language, Time and currency format and keyboard

Click
Install Now
Accept
License
Due to we will install the first Hyper-V Server, please choose
Custom: Install the newer version of Hyper-V Server only (advanced)
Select one disk for install OS

Install process is running now…

After install OS and reboot, the system request us to change Administrator password now.

When change finish and OS reboot again, the logon screen will show up.
Configure Hyper-V Server 2012When the first time log on the console, maybe need to change the computer name by selecting the option
2) Computer Name in menu and key new computer name as “VB-HYPERV-01” next to reboot and log on it again.

Select option
5) Windows Update Settings for defining the future policy to install window hotfix automatically or manually

Select option
6) Download and Install Updates for install the windows hotfix right now

Select option
9) Date and Time for correcting Date, Time and Time Zone

Finally, we can verify whether this version did build-in Hyper-V function by executing
Get-WindowsFeature Hyper-V* PowerShell command.

If the result is right, maybe we can make a template OS by running
Sysprep command for the future usage. So do that we don’t need to always install the new OS again and again if have OS necessity in the future.
Reference :
(# 1) If we don’t select this network adapter in menu, no active network adapter is found after install Hyper-V Server 2012.
(# 2) Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2012
