However, if only the virtualization setting is incompatible, you might be able to enable virtualization in the BIOS and change the **Virtualization Enabled In Firmware** setting from **No** to **Yes**. The location of this setting will depend on the manufacturer and BIOS version, but is typically found associated with the BIOS security settings. + + You can also identify Hyper-V support using [tools](https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/taylorb/2008/06/19/hyper-v-will-my-computer-run-hyper-v-detecting-intel-vt-and-amd-v/) provided by the processor manufacturer, the [msinfo32](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731397.aspx) tool, or you can download the [coreinfo](http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/cc835722) utility and run it, as shown in the following example: + +

If you choose to install Hyper-V using Server Manager, accept all default selections. Also be sure to install both items under **Role Administration Tools\Hyper-V Management Tools**. + +### Download VHD and ISO files + +When you have completed installation of Hyper-V on the host computer, begin configuration of Hyper-V by downloading VHD and ISO files to the Hyper-V host. These files will be used to create the VMs used in the lab. Before you can download VHD and ISO files, you will need to register and sign in to the [TechNet Evaluation Center](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/) using your Microsoft account. + +1. Create a directory on your Hyper-V host named **C:\VHD** and download a single [Windows Server 2012 R2 VHD](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/evaluate-windows-server-2012-r2) from the TechNet Evaluation Center to the **C:\VHD** directory. + + **Important**: This guide assumes that VHDs are stored in the **C:\VHD** directory on the Hyper-V host. If you use a different directory to store VHDs, you must adjust steps in this guide appropriately. + + After completing registration you will be able to download the 7.47 GB Windows Server 2012 R2 evaluation VHD. An example of the download offering is shown below. + +

The previous commands automate this by filtering for active non-virtual ethernet adapters using the Get-NetAdapter cmdlet ($_.Status -eq "Up" -and !$_.Virtual). If your Hyper-V host is dual-homed with multiple active ethernet adapters, this automation will not work, and the second command above will fail. In this case, you must edit the command used to add the "poc-external" virtual switch by inserting the appropriate NetAdapterName. The NetAdapterName value corresponds to the name of the network interface you wish to use.

Click **Ctrl+Alt+Del** in the upper left corner of the virtual machine connection window, and then sign in to DC1 using the Administrator account. +4. Right-click **Start**, point to **Shut down or sign out**, and click **Sign out**. The VM connection will reset and a new connection dialog box will appear enabling you to choose a custom display configuration. Select a desktop size, click **Connect** and sign in again with the local Administrator account. Note: Signing in this way ensures that [enhanced session mode](https://technet.microsoft.com/windows-server-docs/compute/hyper-v/learn-more/Use-local-resources-on-Hyper-V-virtual-machine-with-VMConnect) is enabled. It is only necessary to do this the first time you sign in to a new VM. +5. If DC1 is configured as described in this guide, it will currently be assigned an APIPA address, have a randomly generated hostname, and a single network adapter named "Ethernet." Open an elevated Windows PowerShell prompt on DC1 and type or paste the following commands to provide a new hostname and configure a static IP address and gateway: + +
+ Rename-Computer DC1 + New-NetIPAddress –InterfaceAlias Ethernet –IPAddress 192.168.0.1 –PrefixLength 24 -DefaultGateway 192.168.0.2 + Set-DnsClientServerAddress -InterfaceAlias Ethernet -ServerAddresses 192.168.0.1,192.168.0.2 ++ + >The default gateway at 192.168.0.2 will be configured later in this guide. + + >Note: A list of available tasks for an app will be populated the first time you run it on the taskbar. Because these tasks aren't available until the App has been run, you will not see the **Run as Administrator** task until you have left-clicked Windows PowerShell for the first time. In this newly created VM, you will need to left-click Windows PowerShell one time, and then you can right-click and choose Run as Administrator to open an elevated Windows PowerShell prompt. + +6. Install the Active Directory Domain Services role by typing the following command at an elevated Windows PowerShell prompt: + +
+ Install-WindowsFeature -Name AD-Domain-Services -IncludeAllSubFeature -IncludeManagementTools ++ +7. Before promoting DC1 to a Domain Controller, you must reboot so that the name change in step 3 above takes effect. To restart the computer, type the following command at an elevated Windows PowerShell prompt: + +
+ Restart-Computer ++ +8. When DC1 has rebooted, sign in again and open an elevated Windows PowerShell prompt. Now you can promote the server to be a domain controller. The directory services restore mode password must be entered as a secure string. Type the following commands at the elevated Windows PowerShell prompt: + +
+ $pass = "pass@word1" | ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force + Install-ADDSForest -DomainName contoso.com -InstallDns -SafeModeAdministratorPassword $pass -Force ++ + Ignore any warnings that are displayed. The computer will automatically reboot upon completion. + +9. When the reboot has completed, reconnect to DC1, sign in using the CONTOSO\Administrator account, open an elevated Windows PowerShell prompt, and use the following commands to add a reverse lookup zone for the PoC network, add the DHCP Server role, authorize DHCP in Active Directory, and supress the post-DHCP-install alert: + +
+ Add-DnsServerPrimaryZone -NetworkID "192.168.0.0/24" -ReplicationScope Forest + Add-WindowsFeature -Name DHCP -IncludeManagementTools + netsh dhcp add securitygroups + Restart-Service DHCPServer + Add-DhcpServerInDC dc1.contoso.com 192.168.0.1 + Set-ItemProperty –Path registry::HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ServerManager\Roles\12 –Name ConfigurationState –Value 2 ++ +10. Next, add a DHCP scope and set option values: + +
+ Add-DhcpServerv4Scope -Name "PoC Scope" -StartRange 192.168.0.100 -EndRange 192.168.0.199 -SubnetMask 255.255.255.0 -Description "Windows 10 PoC" -State Active + Set-DhcpServerv4OptionValue -ScopeId 192.168.0.0 -DnsDomain contoso.com -Router 192.168.0.2 -DnsServer 192.168.0.1,192.168.0.2 -Force ++ + >The -Force option is necessary when adding scope options to skip validation of 192.168.0.2 as a DNS server because we have not configured it yet. The scope should immediately begin issuing leases on the PoC network. The first DHCP lease that will be issued is to vEthernet interface on the Hyper-V host, which is a member of the internal network. You can verify this by using the command: Get-DhcpServerv4Lease -ScopeId 192.168.0.0. + +11. The DNS server role will also be installed on the member server, SRV1, at 192.168.0.2 so that we can forward DNS queries from DC1 to SRV1 to resolve Internet names without having to configure a forwarder outside the PoC network. Since the IP address of SRV1 already exists on DC1's network adapter, it will be automatically added during the DCPROMO process. To verify this server-level DNS forwarder on DC1, type the following command at an elevated Windows PowerShell prompt on DC1: + +
+ Get-DnsServerForwarder ++ + The following output should be displayed: + +
+ UseRootHint : True + Timeout(s) : 3 + EnableReordering : True + IPAddress : 192.168.0.2 + ReorderedIPAddress : 192.168.0.2 ++ + If this output is not displayed, you can use the following command to add SRV1 as a forwarder: + +
+ Add-DnsServerForwarder -IPAddress 192.168.0.2 ++ +12. Minimize the DC1 VM window but **do not stop** the VM. + + Next, the client VM will be started and joined to the contoso.com domain. This is done before adding a gateway to the PoC network so that there is no danger of duplicate DNS registrations for the physical client and its cloned VM in the corporate domain. + +13. If the PC1 VM is not started yet, using an elevated Windows PowerShell prompt on the Hyper-V host, start the client VM (PC1), and connect to it: + +
+ Start-VM PC1 + vmconnect localhost PC1 ++ +14. Sign in to PC1 using an account that has local administrator rights. + + >PC1 will be disconnected from its current domain, so you cannot use a domain account to sign on unless these credentials are cached and the use of cached credentials is permitted by Group Policy. If cached credentials are available and permitted, you can use these credentials to sign in. Otherwise, use an existing local administrator account. + +15. After signing in, the operating system detects that it is running in a new environment. New drivers will be automatically installed, including the network adapter driver. The network adapter driver must be updated before you can proceed, so that you will be able to join the contoso.com domain. Depending on the resources allocated to PC1, installing the network adapter driver might take a few minutes. You can monitor device driver installation by clicking **Show hidden icons** in the notification area. + +  + + >If the client was configured with a static address, you must change this to a dynamic one so that it can obtain a DHCP lease. + +16. When the new network adapter driver has completed installation, you will receive an alert to set a network location for the contoso.com network. Select **Work network** and then click **Close**. When you receive an alert that a restart is required, click **Restart Later**. + +17. Open an elevated Windows PowerShell prompt on PC1 and verify that the client VM has received a DHCP lease and can communicate with the consoto.com domain controller. + + To open Windows PowerShell on Windows 7, click **Start**, and search for "**power**." Right-click **Windows PowerShell** and then click **Pin to Taskbar** so that it is simpler to use Windows Powershell during this lab. Click **Windows PowerShell** on the taskbar, and then type **ipconfig** at the prompt to see the client's current IP address. Also type **ping dc1.contoso.com** and **nltest /dsgetdc:contoso.com** to verify that it can reach the domain controller.

However, it is possible to use integration services to copy a file from the Hyper-V host to a VM. The next procedure demonstrates this. If the Copy-VMFile command fails, then type the commands below at an elevated Windows PowerShell prompt on PC1 instead of saving them to a script to run remotely. If PC1 is running Windows 8 or a later operating system, you can use enhanced session mode to copy and paste these commands instead of typing them. + +18. Minimize the PC1 window and switch to the Hyper-V host computer. Open an elevated Windows PowerShell ISE window on the Hyper-V host (right-click Windows PowerShell and then click **Run ISE as Administrator**) and type the following commands in the (upper) script editor pane: + +

However, this can be changed to migrate all user accounts, or only other specified accounts. If you wish to test migration of user data and settings with accounts other than those in the CONTOSO domain, you must specify these accounts or domains when you configure the value of **ScanStateArgs** in the MDT test lab guide. This value is specifically called out when you get to that step. If you wish to only migrate CONTOSO accounts, then you can log in with the user1 account or the administrator account at this time and modify some of the files and settings for later use in migration testing. +23. Minimize the PC1 window but do not turn it off while the second Windows Server 2012 R2 VM (SRV1) is configured. This verifies that the Hyper-V host has enough resources to run all VMs simultaneously. Next, SRV1 will be started, joined to the contoso.com domain, and configured with RRAS and DNS services. +24. On the Hyper-V host computer, at an elevated Windows PowerShell prompt, type the following commands: + +

The DNS service on SRV1 also needs to resolve hosts in the contoso.com domain. This can be accomplished with a conditional forwarder. Open an elevated Windows PowerShell prompt on SRV1 and type the following command: + +
+ Add-DnsServerConditionalForwarderZone -Name contoso.com -MasterServers 192.168.0.1 ++ +33. In most cases, this completes configuration of the PoC network. However, if your corporate network has a firewall that filters queries from local DNS servers, you will also need to configure a server-level DNS forwarder on SRV1 to resolve Internet names. To test whether or not DNS is working without this forwarder, try to reach a name on the Internet from DC1 or PC1, which are only using DNS services on the PoC network. You can test DNS with the ping command, for example: + +
+ ping www.microsoft.com ++ + If you see "Ping request could not find host www.microsoft.com" on PC1 and DC1, but not on SRV1, then you will need to configure a server-level DNS forwarder on SRV1. To do this, open an elevated Windows PowerShell prompt on SRV1 and type the following command. + + **Note**: This command also assumes that "Ethernet 2" is the external-facing network adapter on SRV1. If the external adapter has a different name, replace "Ethernet 2" in the command below with that name: + +
+ Add-DnsServerForwarder -IPAddress (Get-DnsClientServerAddress -InterfaceAlias "Ethernet 2").ServerAddresses ++ +34. If DNS and routing are both working correctly, you will see the following on DC1 and PC1 (the IP address might be different, but that is OK): + +
+ PS C:\> ping www.microsoft.com + + Pinging e2847.dspb.akamaiedge.net [23.222.146.170] with 32 bytes of data: + Reply from 23.222.146.170: bytes=32 time=3ms TTL=51 + Reply from 23.222.146.170: bytes=32 time=2ms TTL=51 + Reply from 23.222.146.170: bytes=32 time=2ms TTL=51 + Reply from 23.222.146.170: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=51 + + Ping statistics for 23.222.146.170: + Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss), + Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds: + Minimum = 1ms, Maximum = 3ms, Average = 2ms ++ +35. Verify that all three VMs can reach each other, and the Internet. See [Appendix A: Verify the configuration](#appendix-b-verify-the-configuration) for more information. +36. Lastly, because the client computer has different hardware after copying it to a VM, its Windows activation will be invalidated and you might receive a message that you must activate Windows in 3 days. To extend this period to 30 days, type the following commands at an elevated Windows PowerShell prompt on PC1: + +
+ runas /noprofile /env /user:administrator@contoso.com "cmd /c slmgr -rearm" + Restart-Computer ++ +### Configure service and user accounts + +Windows 10 deployment with MDT and System Center Configuration Manager requires specific accounts to perform some actions. Service accounts will be created to use for these tasks. A user account is also added in the contoso.com domain that can be used for testing purposes. In the test lab environment, passwords are set to never expire. + +>To keep this test lab relatively simple, we will not create a custom OU structure and set permissions. Required permissions are enabled by adding accounts to the Domain Admins group. To configure these settings in a production environment, see [Prepare for Zero Touch Installation of Windows 10 with Configuration Manager](prepare-for-zero-touch-installation-of-windows-10-with-configuration-manager.md) + +On DC1, open an elevated Windows PowerShell prompt and type the following commands: + +

+ Get-Service DNS,RemoteAccess + Get-DnsServerForwarder + Resolve-DnsName -Server dc1.contoso.com -Name www.microsoft.com + ipconfig /all + netsh int ipv4 show address ++ + **Get-Service** displays a status of "Running" for both services.
+ whoami + hostname + nslookup www.microsoft.com + ping -n 1 dc1.contoso.com + tracert www.microsoft.com ++ + **whoami** displays the current user context, for example in an elevated Windows PowerShell prompt, contoso\administrator is displayed.
