Drive Allocation

In this page, you can allocate a drive for your setup. Since this is demo installation, we are going ahead with a 20GB drive. Ideally, the size should be equal to 1TB, if available. To start the drive creation, click “New“

Once you have selected the size, click “Apply“

Please click “OK” in the poup window, like below.

Now your drive will get formatted as required.

The installation of Microsoft Hyper-V server 2016 will start. You may need to wait for next 30 – 60 minutes to complete the installation.

Once the OS installation is done, the server will go for a reboot. Press “Restart now” to perform a quick reboot of the server.

After the reboot, the server will present you with a LogonUI.exe window, where you need to set your user details to manager your setup.

Type the administrator user name as “Administrator” and supply its corresponding password twice to confirm it.

In the next window, you will get a message that, your password has been changed.

You will be directed to the sconfig.cmd page.
