10135A: Configuring, Managing and Troubleshooting Microsoft® Exchange Server 2010 1

Introducing Microsoft Hyper-V

Important Note: This setup requires Windows Server® 2008 Hyper-V™ or Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V. To import virtual machines successfully to Windows Server 2008 release 2 (R2) Hyper-V, you will have to run the VM-Pre-Import script that will create symbolic links to the Base/Middle-Tier images in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Learning\10135\VirtualMachineName\Virtual Hard Disks\ folders.

This learning product is designed using Microsoft® Hyper-V running on Windows

Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2. Hyper-V is a virtualization technology that

allows a single computer to act as a host for one or more virtual machines. The virtual

machines use a set of virtual devices that might or might not map to the physical

hardware of the host computer.

The software that is installed onto the virtual machine is unmodified, full-version, retail

software that operates exactly as it does when it is installed onto physical hardware.

The following definitions will help you with the remainder of this document:

Hyper-V: Hyper-V is a server application that enables users to run a broad range of

operating systems (OS) simultaneously on a single physical server. Hyper-V is

included with some versions of Windows Server 2008. Hyper-V can be run only on a

64-bit version of Windows Server 2008 that is running on 64-bit hardware.

Host Computer: The physical computer onto which you install the operating system

and the Hyper-V server role.

Host Operating System: The operating system that is running on the physical

computer. With Hyper-V, the only supported host operating system is Windows

Server 2008.

Virtual Machine: The computer that is running inside Hyper-V. In this document,

“Hyper-V” refers to the application running on the host, while “virtual machine”

refers to the guest operating system and any software that is running inside the

Hyper-V application.

Guest Operating System: The operating system that is running inside the virtual

machine.

Note: Pressing CTRL+ALT+DELETE while working with a virtual machine will display the Windows Security dialog box for the host operating system. To close the dialog box, press ESC. To access the Windows Security dialog box for a guest operating system, press CTRL+ALT+END. Other than this difference, software on a virtual machine behaves as it would behave on a physical computer.

2 10135A: Configuring, Managing and Troubleshooting Microsoft® Exchange Server 2010

You can configure virtual machines to communicate with the host computer, other virtual

machines on the same host computer, other host computers, virtual machines on other

host computers, other physical computers on the network, or any combination thereof.

The setup instructions that you will follow as part of this classroom setup guide configure

Hyper-V and the Virtual Machines that run on the host. Changing any of the

configuration settings may render the labs for this learning product unusable.

Setup Overview

The host computers must be set up with a 64-bit version of Windows Server 2008 and

must be running on 64-bit hardware. For more information on the supported hardware for

Hyper-V, go to http://www.microsoft.com/hyper-v. For the purposes of this learning

product, it is not necessary for the host computers to be able to communicate with another

network. However, we recommend that you allow them to communicate with each other

to make setup easier. The setup procedures below assume that the host computers can

communicate with each other for setup purposes. You should note the administrator’s

user name and password for the host computers, and provide this information to the

instructor.

Classroom Requirements

This learning product requires a classroom with a minimum of one computer for the

instructor and one for each student. Before class begins, use the following information

and instructions to install and configure all computers.

Instructor Computer Setup

Use the instructions in the following section to set up the classroom manually. Before

starting the installation of the instructor computer, a supported operating system and

Microsoft Power Point 2007 must be installed on the computer.

Important: The operating systems installed on the virtual machines in this learning product have not been activated. Rearm has been run at the end of development, and the OS in the virtual machine will be in a grace state.

This grace state lasts for 30 days for the client and 60 days for the server. If you keep these virtual machines running longer than this, you either must run rearm or activate the virtual machines using your own keys.

If the operating system has not retained this state, you may have time to run the class before activation is required. Otherwise, you can rearm the operating system by running slmgr –rearm at the Administrative command prompt. If no additional rearms are available, then the virtual machine will go in to notification mode but will still provide full functionality. You will just have to close the initial messages about activation.

You may be prompted to restart the computer when the virtual machine is started for the first time. This is because of the hardware differences on the Host computer. You can just click Restart Later to close the message.
