Introducing Microsoft Hyper-V

IMPORTANT: This setup requires Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V. 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 (OS) simultaneously on a single physical server. Hyper-V is included with some versions of Windows Server 2012. Hyper-V can be run only on a 64-bit version of Windows Server 2012 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. 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 the ESC key. 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.

2013 Microsoft Confidential

Microsoft Lync Ignite Setup Guide 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 hosts. 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 2012 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. The virtual machines can either be hosted locally on the computers the attendees will be working on, or remotely hosted on a server.

Lab Environment and Configuration

Lab Scenario
During this event, the attendees will be given a set of 16 virtual machines configured on Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V virtual machine hosts. That will need to be hosted locally on the student work computers, or on a remote host server that is connected to the student work computers on a simulated classroom internet. All of the student work computers and host servers will need to be on the same simulated classroom internet to facilitate the labs. They will all be given unique IP addresses based on their pod numbers and in the 172.16.NN.0/16 subnet, where NN is the students pod number.

The virtual machine set will consist of a domain called Onprem.Local that has Exchange 2013 installed; it will also include an already deployed Lync Server 2010 environment. It will not have any users or mailboxes created. The students will perform Lab 0, which will create the users, configure DNS, configure Lync, and Exchange, and make their pod unique.

Locally Hosted POD Configuration

This course can be presented in a POD configuration where the virtual machines are hosted locally on two Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V host machines.

In this configuration, two host machines would be needed per POD, and the two students would share performing the tasks in each of the labs on their local work computers. This requires both of the host servers to have two network adapters.

Locally Hosted Pod Computer Hardware and Software Requirements

The pod computers needed for the Ignite locally hosted pod configuration are extensive and are described in the following image.

All of the virtual machines will be hosted on these computers, plus the student client steps, thus these hardware requirements are necessary for each host, to allow the labs to be performed.

Remotely Hosted Configuration

This course can be presented in a hosted configuration where the virtual machines are hosted at a remote central location, such as a server room or server rack. Attendees would be asked to bring their own laptop and they would connect to the lab environment through the hosting providers interface to perform the labs. The users would need to have the appropriate rights to the laptop brought to the class to be able to install the Lync clients, edit their local hosts file, and to import a certificate to the Trusted Root Certification Authority store.
