[20740C] Module 05: Installing and Configuring Hyper-V and Virtual Machines
1. Lab: Installing and configuring Hyper-V
Scenario:
IT management at Adatum Corporation is concerned about the low utilization of many
of the physical servers that are deployed in the London datacenter. Adatum also is
exploring options for expanding into multiple branch offices and deploying servers
in public and private clouds. For this purpose, the organization is exploring the
use of virtual machines.
You will deploy the Hyper-V server role, configure virtual machine storage and
networking, and deploy the virtual machines.
