Product Number: 20341B

Version 1.2

20341B: Core Solutions of Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 1

Introducing Microsoft Hyper-V

Important Note: This setup requires Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 Hyper-V . To
import virtual machines successfully to Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 Hyper-V, you will
have to run the VM-Pre-Import script that will create symbolic links to the Base/MiddleTier images in the D:\Program Files\Microsoft Learning\20341\Drives
\VirtualMachineName\Virtual Hard Disks\ folders.

This learning product is designed using Microsoft Hyper-V running on Windows Server
2008 R2 SP1. 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. 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 20341B: Core Solutions of Microsoft Exchange Server 2013

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 R2 SP1
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
administrators user name and password for the host computers, and provide this
information to the instructor.
Important: It is recommended that you download and apply the following hotfix in

order to successfully run Windows Server 2012\Windows 8 in a virtual machine

running on a Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 host.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2744129
Without the hotfix, you may experience one or more of the following issues:

The Windows 8/Server 2012 virtual machine may stop responding.

The Windows Server 2008 R2 host computer may display a stop error
message and restart automatically. This behavior brings down all other running
virtual machines together with the host computer.

Windows 8 Virtual Machine Activation

A new requirement exists that necessitates the activation of VMs used in this course that
are based on Windows 8. Instructions for activating Windows 8 virtual machines can be
found in the section titled Configure the Virtual Machines on the Instructor
Computer.
More information on this new requirement and steps on how to obtain product keys for
activation can be found here: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=270851.
