I'm running Windows Server 2008 R2 and I want to install a couple of VMs.
To do so, in Hyper-V, I can either provide access to the hosts DVD drive or provide an image of the installation media. Sadly, I don't have an image, just the disc.
So I would like to create an image from the disc for easier access later on. How can I do this preferably with Microsoft tools?

I don't know a Microsoft tool. That doesn't mean there isn't one. I do know free software that will do this for you. http://www.imgburn.com/ See there screenshots link at the top of the page. There is a clear button to create an image file from disk. Which is exactly what you are trying to do.
