Updating Hyper-V host Integration Service

Question

It seems that I'd get rid of this error log if I uninstall and reinstall the Integration Services from the windows 8.1 that I am running on Hyper-V 2008 R2.
I was wondering though, whether there is a procedure to do it other way around; I mean instead of removing the version 3.3 that came bundled with 8.1 image and downgrading to 3.0 ; upgrade the Hyper-V 2008 R2 to accept 3.3 integration service.

Hi Sasi2,
"This is a known issue that occurs when a virtual machine that is running Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012 is hosted in Windows Server 2008 R2. You can safely ignore the warning message. "
For details please refer to following link:

(My server lab has the same warnning too , but without issue)
