In order to use this evaluation you need to add these packages as new virtual machines to your Hyper-V installation. To do this, perform the following steps from

the administration console of your Virtual Server: Add the virtual machine to Hyper-V Manager Configuring virtual networks Launch the virtual machine

Import the virtual machines to your Hyper-V Manager

1. Open Hyper-V Manager. Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Hyper-V Manager. 2. If you are not already connected to the server that owns the shared storage, connect to that server. 3. From the Action pane, click Import Virtual Machine which is located on the right hand side bar in the Hyper-V Manager. 4. Click Browse and select the folder OpsMgr 2007 R2 VHD Test Drive DC in the Import Virtual Machine popup screen. 5. Click Import and then click close. 6.
