10774A: Querying Microsoft SQL Server 2012

Introducing Microsoft Hyper-V

Important Note: This setup requires Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V. In order to
successfully import virtual machines in to Hyper-V, you will have to run the VM-PreImport script that will create symbolic links to the Base/Middle-Tier images in the below
locations:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Learning\10774A\Drives\10774A-MIA-DC1
\Virtual Hard Disks
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Learning\10774A\Drives\10774A-MIA-SQL1
\Virtual Hard Disks

This learning product is designed using Microsoft Hyper-V running on Windows

Server 2008 R2. Hyper-V is a virtualization technology that allows a single computer to
act as a host for one or more virtual machines. The virtual machines use a set of virtual
devices that might or might not map to the physical hardware of the host computer.
The software that is installed onto the virtual machine is unmodified, full-version, retail
software that operates exactly as it does when it is installed onto physical hardware.
The following definitions will help you with the remainder of this document:

Hyper-V: Hyper-V is a server application that enables users to run a broad range of
operating systems simultaneously on a single physical server. Hyper-V is included
with some versions of Windows Server 2008 R2. Hyper-V can only be run on 64-bit
version of Windows Server 2008 R2 running on 64-bit hardware.

Host Computer: The physical computer onto which an operating system and the
Hyper-V server role have been installed.

Host Operating System: The operating system that is running on the physical
computer. With Hyper-V, the only supported host operating system is Windows
Server 2008 R2.

Virtual Machine: The computer that is running inside Hyper-V. In this document,
Hyper-V refers to the application running on the host, while virtual machine
refers to the guest operating system and any software that is running inside the
Hyper-V application.

Guest Operating System: The operating system that is running inside the virtual
machine.

10774A: Querying Microsoft SQL Server 2012

Note: Pressing CTRL+ALT+DELETE while working with a virtual machine will

display the Windows Security dialog box for the host operating system. To close
the dialog box, press ESC. To access the Windows Security dialog box for a guest
operating system, press CTRL+ALT+END. Other than this difference, software on
a virtual machine behaves as it would behave on a physical computer.

You can configure virtual machines to communicate with the host computer, other virtual
machines on the same host computer, other host computers, virtual machines on other
host computers, other physical computers on the network, or any combination thereof.
The setup instructions that you will follow as part of this classroom setup guide configure
Hyper-V and the Virtual Machines that run on the host. Changing any of the
configuration settings may render the labs for this learning product unusable.

Setup Overview
The host computers must be set up with a 64 bit version of Windows Server 2008 R2 and
must be running on 64 bit hardware. For more information on the supported hardware for
Hyper-V, please see the follow web site: http://www.microsoft.com/hyper-v. For the
purposes of this learning product, it is not necessary for the host computers to be able to
communicate with another network. However, allowing them to communicate with each
other is recommended to make setup easier. The setup procedures below assume that the
host computers can communicate with each other for setup purposes. You should note the
administrators user name and password for the host computers and provide this
information to the instructor.
If the SQL Azure demonstrations and labs associated with this course will be used,
ensure you set up the TMG Virtual Machine before continuing to set up the course
Virtual Machines. You can find setup details for the TMG Virtual Machine below in this
document, at the Instructor Computer Setup section.
To set up the instructor machine to use Windows Azure consult the
10774_Azure_content.docx at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=247899 (this link
requires MCT access that is validated through a Windows Live ID. You may need to
login and click the link a second time). This document includes instructions to create and
configure a SQL Server on Windows Azure and then connect the instructors virtual
machine to that Azure account.

Instructor Computer Setup

Use the instructions in the following section to set up the classroom manually. Before
starting the installation of the instructor computer, a supported operating system and
Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 must be installed on the computer.
Important: The operating systems installed on the virtual machines in this learning
product have not been activated. Rearm has been run at the end of development,
and the OS in the virtual machine will be in a grace state.
This grace state lasts for 30 days for the client and 60 days for the server. If you
keep these virtual machines running longer than this, you will either have to run
rearm or activate the virtual machines using your own keys.
If the operating system has not retained this state, you may have time to run the
class before activation is required. Otherwise you can rearm the operating system
by running slmgr rearm at the Administrative command prompt. If no additional
rearms are available, then the virtual machine will go in to notification mode but
will still provide full functionality. You will just have to close the initial messages
about activation.
You may be prompted to restart the computer when the virtual machine is started
for the first time. This is because of the hardware differences on the Host
computer. You can just click Restart Later to close the message.
