Lab Setup
To complete each lab module, you need to review the following:
Hyper-V
This lab makes use of Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 Hyper-V, which is a
feature that allows you to run multiple virtual computers on the same physical hardware.
During the lab, you will switch between different windows, each of which contains a
separate virtual machine (VM) running Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7.
Lab Computers
The lab uses four computers as VMs:
APPVDC: 2008 R2DC, DNS192.168.100.1
APPVSERVER: 2008 R2SQL2008r2192.168.100.2
APPVCLIENT: Windows 7192.168.100.3
APPVSEQUENCER: Windows 7192.168.100.4
The system called APPVDC has been configured with a file share called
\\appvdc\Labfiles. You will copy files between APPVDC and the other VMs. The other
VMs should be configured with an L drive that is already mapped.

Before You Begin

Before you can do any of the lab modules, you need to start the VMs, and then you need
to log on to the computers.
In each exercise you only have to start the VMs that are needed.
To start any VM
1. On the desktop, double-click the shortcut Hyper-V Manager or navigate to Start >
Administrative Tools > Hyper-V Manager.
2. Inside the Hyper-V MMC, you will see the four VMs used in this lab. To start any of
the machines, simply select it and from within the action pane of the MMC and click
Start. Once the machine has been started, click Connect.
3. When the logon dialog field has appeared, log on to the computer.
To log on to a computer in a VM
1. Press Ctrl+Alt+End (instead of Ctrl+Alt+Delete) to open the logon dialog field.
Alternatively, open the Action menu and click Ctrl+Alt+Del
2. Type the following information:
a. User name: appv\appv.
b. Password: appv.
c. Click OK.
You can now start with the exercises in this lab manual.
Work with Snapshots

The exercises in this lab will make use of the Snapshot feature of Hyper-V. Snapshots
are designed to allow administrators the flexibility of saving VMs in a particular state or
configuration.
To create a snapshot, simply click Snapshot in the Action pane
To revert to a prior Snapshot simply select the Snapshot and click Apply in the
Action pane
Enjoy the lab.
