The objective of the lab is to install Hyper-V software on Windows 2012 R2 standard. Then
install a guest operating system such as Windows 7 to test the functionality of Hyper-V. Then
check error log of Hyper-V.
Lab 1 Installation of Hyper -V
Step 1: Install windows server 2012 R2 standard
Give path, machine name, memory, and hard disk size, processor and begin the installation.

Step 2: When the installation is complete, login into the server with credentials. After login into
the machine, go to server manager. This will look like below screenshot.
Figure 2 server manager
Step 3: Now, install Hyper-V software or rule to enable virtualization in the host machine. This
can be done by either adding role of Hyper-V through add roles and feature or power shell.
Power shell commands for the installation of Hyper-V roles are listed below:
 Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -featureName Microsoft-Hyper-V -All -
NoRestart
 Install-WindowsFeature RSAT-Hyper-V-Tools -IncludesAllSubFeature
 Install-WindowsFeature RSAT-Clustering -IncludesAllSubFeature
 Install-WindowsFeature Multipath-IO

 Restart-Computer
Figure 3 commands for Hyper-V installation
After restart goes to add roles and feature and here it is visible that Hyper-V role is installed.
Part 2: Configure windows updates to automatically apply security patches
Step 1: Login to server then go to
Control panel  System and security  Windows updates  change settings
Choose option (install updates automatically)
This will install the updates automatically.
Step 2: There is also an option available to check updates.

Lab 2: Install and test and operating system
Step 1: Open server manager. Now in right pane, go to tools and select Hyper-V manager. Then
in action pane, click on new virtual machine. This will open the below wizard. Now enter the
name of virtual machine and location.

Step 3: Now choose virtual switch for networking. This allows to create new switch or use
existing one. In next step, specify virtual disk, this also allows to create a new one or use existing
one. If creating new one, then specify name and location.

Step 4: Now choose operating system for the guest virtual machine. This allows you to choose
an operating system later, install an operating system later etc.

Step 8: To run the virtual machine, in right pane, click on connect start and then connect. The
below screenshot shows the completion of installation.

Test the virtual machine:
Step 9: To test the virtual machine review the Hyper-V error logs. To do this:
Go to search menu and type Event Viewer.
Go to service logs  Microsoft  Windows
Here 9 Categories of Hyper-V available.
Go to Hyper-V-hypervisor, and one can see Hyper-V events.

Go to the Hyper-V-VMMS section and here one can see different tasks. The following
screenshot is for creation of the virtual machine.
