Windows Server 2016 - Install Hyper-V Server, Virtual Switch, VMs (How to Step by Step Tutorial)

Installing HyperV from nothing to Virtual Switch to VMs step by step tutorial on Windows Server 2016 or Windows 10

Thanks for the video. Though I don't think anyone should learn how to do it this way as Hyper-V Server should be standalone. I would love to see a good install guide on this.

One word of advice!!….make sure that when you setup the virtual switch, you get everything right the first time, including the network adapters for the VM. If you have dual NICs, allocate only one them to the virtual switch and the other to the VM host physical server. There are settings that will allow to change certain parameters in the Hyper-V settings and in the individual VM settings. These are for the most part ok to change. If you try change settings from the network adapter settings, you’re headed to destination F’d. Do not try to remove the default created Hyper-V virtual switch, do not disable the physical network adapter. Do not try and remove the Hyper-V role!….all of the actions will lead you to destination F’d and easiest fix is to just reinstall, or at least that was my experience. I was trying to swap VM switch to the other NIC and it all just went south. So…make sure during the initial setup you get it right the first time and don’t try and change anything outside of the VM setup options. ALSO, during the course of setting up the VM Host server, make sure you back it up along the way so you can recover to the various stages of configurations.

Great vid, was going to test-bed this but now I dont have to. I'll stick to ESXi, Seems HyperV consumes a CPU for the host and an additional license for the host. ESXi uses next to nothing from server resources.

Depending on your setup most windows 10 virtual machines are completely laggy over rdp protocol either way good tutorial thanks for sharing your expertise.

Thanks for the video. On the HOST system what settings were turned off or on on the Dedicated NIC? was DHCP or Static IP enabled on that NIC?

Hi, i would like to know, can we install windows server 2016 on Gigabyte b760m D2H Motherboard? i tried installing but missing lots of drivers, if you suggest me that will be great thank you

[nagendra]

was unable to see the options what you were selecting. It would be good if you zoom the pop up on which you are working.

When I turn the Hyper-V role and restart I get a BSOD which says Inaccessible boot device. What can be the issue?

[mohammedsulemankhan]

I have tried the same but on my Vswitch adapter it is showing unidentified network also it is not taking IP from DHCP, any idea on this ?

[fedora]

great video thank you it did help big time

[Gnba]

Great video. Is the host on a laptop or pc?

[dannysanders]

In your video what you are pointing to as a virtual swtich is actually your virtual nic, 2nd because you are using one nic for your host managment, the box to create that management vnic that you call a vswitch should be unchecked.

The mstsc function in Powershell didn't work and gsve me an error message saying that I cannot connect to another console session on the remote computer because you already have a console session in progress? What do I do?

[livestronger]

Does a VM need to go through the VirtualNIC or can you point it directly to the NIC on the host?
