14. Preparing for the Labs
Course 20410D
Module 0: Introduction
Your lab activities will be centered around a fictitious company that we will call A. Datum Corporation
By working through the labs, you will learn how to configure a Windows Server 2012 infrastructure that has Windows 8.1 clients
To complete the labs, you will work in a virtual machine environment
Tell students whether the course labs will be run as on‑premises (local) labs, or as Microsoft Labs Online (MLO) hosted labs.
On‑premises labs are run on the local host machines in Hyper‑V.
MLO labs are accessed on the local host machines via a web browser, such as the virtual machines that are running on a hosted platform and accessed via a browser.

Access the MLO lab environment
Switch between virtual machines
Carefully read the online Lab Notes because some procedures related to on-premises versus online labs may be different and have slightly different steps. Any differences will be called out in the Lab Notes
<<< Use this slide for MLO, and the next slide for on-premises (local) labs. >>>
<<< Delete the slide that you are not using.>>>
You should take this opportunity to show students the lab environment.
Take a minute to log in and describe the environment to the students. Be sure to point out the online Lab Notes document, which contains details of any changes to the lab steps.

As part of the classroom setup, you should configure Hyper‑V to pass-through Windows key combinations. This makes it much easier to move around the user interface in Windows Server 2012. Verify that this setting is configured with students on their computers:
On the host computer, open Hyper‑V Manager.
Right-click the host computer in Hyper‑V Manager, and then click Hyper‑V Settings.
Under User, click Keyboard, click Use on the virtual computer, and then click OK.
Open a virtual machine, and demonstrate the following:
How to sign in.
Administrative Tools are now in the Tools menu of Server Manager.
Get to the Start screen, Settings, and Search, as follows:
To get to the Start screen, in the lower-left corner of the screen, click the Start button. You can start typing on this screen to start searching.
Right-clicking the lower-left corner also provides a context menu to help with some navigation tasks, such as Shutdown, Restart, accessing Control Panel, and similar.
To get to Settings, point your mouse to the lower‑right corner of the screen, and click the Settings charm when it appears. Settings include Control Panel and Power.
