05. How to configure Hyper-V Nested Virtualization on Windows Server 2016 (Step by step guide)

In this video series I am going to be installing and configuring the new Windows Server 2016. In the fifth video from the series I am going to configure Hyper-V virtualization, then enable Nested Virtualization and test this new functionality.

Thank You very much for this video. Today I followed all that You explained and now I can connect remotely (in workgroup) to my Virtual Machine and use Hyper-V Manager in Windows Server 2016 there. And now I can create virtual network for labs without interrupting of work on my physical machine with Windows Server 2016.

HI there, GREAT Vid. My question is this: I am installing a new server for a client. Approx 30 Users. I am using server 2016 standard Edition. They going to be using SQL 2016 as well. For the AD, DHCP,  DNS and File and Storage roles, should I install those on a VM or just keep everything together on the same physical server?

[mohamedabidhullah]

Hi Nick, Thank u for the videos very good job dude. Could please guide me where to get the microsoft script which you used to to enable Hyper-V host...Thank You.

[supersmart]

Looks like this just enabling Hyper-V on physical machine running Windows server 2016, this is fairly simple as I understand. I thought nested Hyper-V means enabling a Hyper-V on a virtual machine. Is it possible to do it, if so how?

[RakshithBlackC]

Hey Nick!! Where do i get that script to enable virtualization feature for nested virtualization.

[ansariyaseen]

Thanks for this post. Would you just explain virtual switch for nested vm. Network settings for nested vm.
Thanks

Hi Nick,
First, thank you sincerly for this great job and I wish à lot of success for this super channel.
Now, I'm a newbie with Win Server and Hyper-V and I have a little problem if you (or some one here) can help :
I have a host with 2 physical NICs and 4 ports 1Gb/s on each one.
I have 4 VM on this host and I want to dedicate exclusively one physical port to each VM, How can I do it?
Thanks.

[mohammadyasin]

is this method is applicable to AWS instances as well as windows 2016?

How Deep we can Go? I mean from first HyperV machine, what is the maximum can be Nested one after another Virtualization

[jimi]

After selecting the hyper v role to be installed, the machine asks for a restart. When it restarts it fails the installation but gives no meaningful information as to why. "Failed to install the feature...". Any ideas?

[imrankhetani]

Can You please explain advantages of Nested Virtualization if any.
