Microsoft Hyper-V, codenamed Viridian lets you create

and run a software version of a computer, called a  virtual
machine. Each virtual machine acts like a complete
computer, running an operating system and programs.
When you need computing resources, virtual machines
give you more exibility, help save time and money, and are
a more ef cient way to use hardware than just running one
operating system on physical hardware. You may also want

If you aren’t using an IP Address to connect, and you aren’t using DNS and you wish to connect
using the server name, please create a host le record. Edit the host le with notepad (++) or any of
the editors of your choice. I will not be demonstrating these steps as these are just added

Add a line with the “IP of your Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2012” followed by the “name of your
Hyper-V server”. Then click on File and Save.
