HOMELABHOST: Hyper-V based close-to-production virtual development environment.
The idea behind my Hyper-V test environment was to build a virtual lab that is mimicking PRODUCTION / QA IT environment of an average US company as close as possible with centralized domain controller, SQL servers isolated from the server-applications-hosting-machines, with utilization of AD service accounts and all security measures applied where possible. The development IDEs, Team Foundation Server and tools were installed as well to be available should a need arise for debugging / test-proofing concept of a real live enterprise-scale development project.
List of hosted Server Applications: Team Foundation Server 2012, SQL Server 2008 R2, SQL Server 2012, BizTalk Server 2010, BizTalk Server 2013, Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server 2015.
Visual Studio Versions: 2010,2012,2013,2015.

Hyper-V Farm snapshot:
Each virtual machine is joined to contoso.com domain and contains two network adapters, one private for internal communication across CONTOSO domain and one external for communication with *external world*.
