Microsoft Virtual Academy Install and configure Lab Management

What the Study Guide says… Install and configure Lab Management. –setting up environment templates –installing and configuring test agents –installing and configuring System Center Virtual Machine Manager (basic Virtual Machine Manager installation) –creating library shares or resource pools

Setting up environment templates If you are a system administrator, you might have to regularly create new golden virtual machines to satisfy the needs of various team projects. Detailed instructions can be found in the article “How to: Create and Store Virtual Machines and Templates Ready for Lab Management” at

Installing and configuring test agents Lab agents and test agents from previous versions of Lab Management have been combined into one type of agent – the test agent. Detailed instructions can be found in the article “Installing and Configuring Test Agents and Test Controllers” at

Installing and configuring System Center Virtual Machine Manager To access the virtual machines that you create with Hyper-V from Lab Management, you must install and configure SCVMM. SCVMM is a tool for managing your Hyper-V host machines from a central console. Lab Management communicates with SCVMM to be able to use the virtual machines and templates to create environments Detailed steps can be found at
