Can i use Hyper-V VM Live-Migrating in a non Domain Environment

active-directoryhyper-vhyper-v-server-2012live-migration

Does Hyper-V 3.0 require the Hosts to be joined to a Domain for Livemigrating?
If so, i suspect that the VM's don't have this requirement?
Are ther additional Features i can't use in a Non-Domain/Sandalone Environment with Hyper-V Hosts?

The hosts must belong to the same Active Directory domain, or belong to domains that trust each other if you want live migration. I couldn't find any workaround. If your hosts are members of a domain, you can use kerberos authentication for replication, failover clustering, etc.
