What change has been made in Windows Server 2016 regarding VM versions?
They must be manually updated
What three options exist when creating a VM for an OS install?
Install later, Install from a bootable image file, and Install from a network
location
What are three options you can use for importing a VM?
Copies of VM configuration, checkpoints, and virtual hard disk files
What two options are available when exporting a VM?
Exporting a checkpoint and exporting the virtual machine with a checkpoint
Name at least three best practices for VM deployment.
Set minimum and maximum memory; use dynamic memory; avoid using differencing disks if possible; use multiple Hyper-V network adapters connected to different external virtual switches; and store virtual machine files on their own volumes
How do you update a single Virtual Machine?
run the following command from an elevated PowerSheld prompt:
Update-VMVersion -Name VM1304
How do you Create a Virtual Machine?
Step 1. Launch the Hyper-V Manager by selecting Tools > Hyper-V Manager. (This step assumes that you have installed Hyper-V and its management tools properly,
Step 2. Ensure that your Hyper-V host is selected in the left pane and choose Action > New > Virtual Machine,
Step 3. Click Next in the New Virtual Machine Wizard - Before You Begin page.
Step 4. Provide a name for your virtual machine and select a location on the Specify Name and Location page. Click Next when you are done.
Step 5. On the Specify Generation page, choose a Generation 1 or Generation 2 virtual machine. Remember that this choice cannot be changed once the VM is created. Click Next.
Step 6. Assign memory and decide on the usage of dynamic memory for your virtual machine on the Assign Memory page. Click Next.
Step 7. Select your network adapter on the Configure Networking page and click Next.
Step 8. Select your virtual hard disk settings on the Connect Virtual Hard Disk page. Click Next.
Step 9. On the Installation Options page, choose from one of three options: Install an operating system later
Install an operating system from a bootable image file
Install an operating system from a network-based installation server
When you are done making selections, click Next.
Step 10. On the Completing the New Virtual Machine Wizard page, click Finish.
How do you configure Dynamic Memory in a Virtual Machine?
In the Virtual Machine Memory settings there is an option to enable dynamic memory with a minimum and maximum amount that would like to be used.
It is also possible to set a percentage of memory that a virtual machine can use as a memory buffer
