Product Number: 20410D Version 1.2 20410D: Installing and Configuring Windows Server® 2012 1 Microsoft Labs Online Microsoft® Labs Online, which are online or hosted labs, are available for this and other Microsoft Official Courseware (MOC) courses. This provides an alternative to the lab setup and configuration that this document outlines, in which you access the course’s virtual machines on a hosted platform rather than on physical local machines. Requirement for Accessing Hosted Labs The use of hosted labs means that each student still needs a host computer to access the course lab environment. However, this host computer does not need to meet the same specifications as when the virtual machines are running locally. Student machines must meet the following requirements, including that they have: • • • A valid operating system, such as Windows® 7 or newer. Internet Explorer® or a supported Web browser. Internet access. You should refer to your individual hosting provider for specific details. Also, there may be some variations in steps for labs that run in a hosted environment as opposed to a local environment. You will find details of any variations in lab steps in the Lab Notes on the hosted lab platform. If you are using hosted labs, instead of on-premises labs, become familiar with how the labs are accessed and configured. You should ensure that you are ready to demonstrate their use to students when starting the class, and that everything is in place for students to have a smooth experience. You can purchase Microsoft Labs Online for use during course delivery at the same time that you order the course materials. Important Note: Some labs may not be hostable due to specific requirements in the lab steps, such as labs that require booting to virtual hard disk or native boots. Therefore, you should validate the labs before deciding whether to use local or hosted labs. 2 20410D: Installing and Configuring Windows Server® 2012 Digital Courseware If you are using digital courseware via the Arvato Skillpipe reader, and the course’s labs contain scenarios in which you have to boot to virtual hard disk or perform a native boot, some students will not be able to view the online courseware content and lab steps in the Arvato Skillpipe reader while their host machine is offline. In this particular scenario, there are several options available, including that you can: 1. 2. 3. 4. Have two Network Interface Cards in the host machines. Print out lab steps for the modules in question. Ask students who have their own devices to bring them to the class. Configure access to virtual machines before the class to allow access to the content offline. You should consider and implement one of the above options depending on your particular situation. Further details and considerations for these workarounds and options are available on the Born To Learn web site at http://borntolearn.mslearn.net, and have been sent out via partner and Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT) newsletters. Important: Additional virtual machine configuration may be required. Therefore, you should allow enough time to assess your situation and make an appropriate decision. Introducing Microsoft Hyper-V Important Note: This setup requires Windows Server® 2012 Hyper-V®. To import virtual machines successfully to Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V, you will have to run the VM-Pre-Import scripts. These scripts associate the virtual hard disks in the D:\Program Files \Microsoft Learning\20410\Drives\VirtualMachineName\Virtual Hard Disks\ folders with the appropriate base images or middle tier drives. This learning product is designed using Microsoft Hyper-V running on Windows Server 2012. 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 simultaneously on a single physical server. • Host Computer: The physical computer onto which an operating system and the Hyper-V server role have been installed. 20410D: Installing and Configuring Windows Server® 2012 3 • Host Operating System: The operating system that is running on the physical computer. For this course, Windows Server 2012 is the only supported host operating system. • 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. 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. Windows 8.1 Virtual Machine Activation You have to activate Windows 8.1-based virtual machines that you use in this course. For detailed instructions, refer to “Configure the Virtual Machines on the Instructor Computer” in this document For more information about this new requirement, and for steps about how to obtain product keys for activation, refer to “Product Key Distribution for Activation of Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 (for MOC lab virtual machines only) at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=270851. Setup Overview The host computers must be set up with a 64-bit version of Windows Server 2012 and must be running on 64-bit hardware. For more information about the supported hardware for Hyper-V, please refer 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 the setup process easier. The setup procedures below assume that the host computers can communicate with each other for setup purposes. You should note 4 20410D: Installing and Configuring Windows Server® 2012 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. Hardware The classroom computers require the following hardware and software configuration: Hardware Level 7 (Note the changes for the Hard Disk configuration) • Processor: 64-bit Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel VT) or AMD Virtualization (AMD-V) processor, with 2.8 gigahertz (Ghz) or better dual core recommended • Hard Disk: Dual 500 gigabyte (GB) hard disks 7200 RPM Serial ATA (SATA), labeled C drive and D drive • RAM: 16 GB or higher • DVD/CD: DVD; dual layer recommended. • Network Adapter • Sound Card with amplified speakers • Monitor: Dual Super VGA (SVGA) monitors, 17 inches or larger supporting 1440 x 900 minimum resolution Additionally, the instructor computer must be connected to a projection display device that supports SVGA 1024 x 768 pixels, 16-bit colors. Software Please note that, unless otherwise indicated, this software is not included on the Trainer Materials disc. This learning product was developed and tested on supported Microsoft software, which is required for the classroom computers. Also required, but not included in the Training Materials: Microsoft Office PowerPoint® 2007 or later (instructor computer only). Classroom Configuration Each classroom computer will serve as the host for several virtual machines that will run in Hyper-V. The lab for module 13 requires a boot-from-VHD configuration. For this module each host computer must not be able to communicate with other computers on the network. This is only required for module 13. After completion of the setup, all computers will be configured to run several virtual machines running Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows 8.1. 20410D: Installing and Configuring Windows Server® 2012 Estimated Time to Set Up the Classroom: 120 Minutes Instructor Computer Checklist  1.

Before starting the instructor computer installation, you must have a supported operating system and Office PowerPoint 2007 installed on the computer. Important: The operating systems installed on the virtual machines in this learning product have not been activated, and each virtual machine is in the Notification state. As stated earlier, you must activate the Windows 8.1 client virtual machines for each of the steps outlined below. However, you do not need to activate the Windows Server 2012 virtual machines, but you will, at a minimum, need to apply a grace period by running slmgr –rearm at the administrative command prompt and then restarting. This gives a ten-day grace period before the virtual machine returns to the notification mode and subsequent hourly shutdowns. You can view the number of rearms available in the virtual machines by running the command slmgr -dlv. If an extended period is required, it is also possible to activate the server virtual machines for 180 days. You do not require a product key to activate the server virtual machines because they are pre-keyed and can be activated automatically by placing them online or activating them over the phone. Once that initial 180-day activation period has expired, you can obtain a second 180-day activation period by running slmgr -rearm, restarting, and then activating the virtual machine as outlined earlier. Some additional context and details on activation states can be obtained from the Born To Learn website at: http://borntolearn.mslearn.net/mct/general/f/482/t/321279.aspx Also, 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 restart, or you can click Restart Later to close the message. 1.
