Supported Operating Systems

Windows Server 2008 R2

Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V is required to use the virtual machine included with this training kit.

In addition to the system requirements for Windows Server 2008 R2 as described in the release notes, a 64-bit system with hardware-assisted virtualization enabled and data execution prevention (DEP) is required.

It is also recommended to ensure that you have a clean install of x64 edition of Windows Server 2008 R2 to be able to use the Hyper-V technology.

Prerequisites, installation steps, OS recommendations, and known issues of Hyper-V can be found here

An import utility is included with the training kit. To use the import utility, the .NET Framework 4 must be installed on the host OS.

The lab manuals, PowerPoint presentations and videos can be viewed on the following operating systems:

• Windows 7
• Windows Server 2008 R2
• Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2
• Windows Vista Service Pack 2

In order to use this evaluation package you will need to have Microsoft Hyper-V installed on a physical machine.

Hyper-V is available on Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2. This virtual machine requires Hyper-V on Windows Server 2008 R2. Details on how to install Hyper-V can be found here. Details of how to setup the VHD are included in the documentation that accompanies the product.

In the Setup folder there is an application that will add all the VMs into Hyper-V. The app does this while maintaining only a single copy of the base images. To install, open a command promt with the "Run as Administrator" option and change directory to the setup folder. The import will fail if you do not run the command prompt with this option. Then run the command:

importVM.exe full path to base image

For example, if the root of the labs is c:\Microsoft BizTalk Server 2010 Training, then the command would be:

importVM.exe "C:\Microsoft BizTalk Server 2010 Training\VM\common\BizTalk2010Demo.vhd"

Enter the username “ADVENTUREWORKS\Administrator” and password “pass@word1” to login.

The lab videos are provided in four downloads:
