These settings are perfectly fine left at default. If you prefer to use VirtualBox in a language other than English, you can change those settings under the Language tab.
The Display tab allows you to set the maximum screen size although I strongly recommend that you do not change this setting. A Host-only network does not allow a VM to reach outside of the Host no internet access. On our VMs we are going to use two networking adapters; a NAT adapter and Host-only adapter allowing us to have internet access as well as an internal network that our Guest VMs can communicate with each other and the Host computer.
The next tab is Extensions. You do not have to install any extension packs if you do not want to. The last option is for proxy settings. Close the Preferences window by either clicking Cancel or the X at the top right hand corner of the screen. These can be reached from the File menu on VirtualBox. These two options allow you to import or export VMs at any time. This comes in handy when you want to move a VM from one host to another. Next is the Virtual Media Manager. There is also the Network Operations Manager which has nothing to do with VirtualBox networks but rather is used when VirtualBox is checking for updates.
Next we have the Machine option on the file menu. This is your menu for VM management. You can create, clone, group, modify, start or stop selected VMs from this menu. You may also create a Desktop shortcut on your desktop for any select VM and you can view the logs of a VM for troubleshooting purposes. You may also clone a VM at any time using either a full clone or a linked clone.
Note that a linked clone only builds on top of the HDD file of the cloned machine, and does not actually modify the HDD for the cloned machine as well. A Headless start is when you power on a VM without a Window.
A detachable start is experimental and is a mix of the two previous start methods. In theory you should be able to detachably start a VM and a window will open. Now it is time to learn the detailed steps of creating a VM in VirtualBox. The objective of this lecture is to create a VirtualMachine that we will install and configure to be our first domain controller. The first thing we need to do is open VirtualBox. The Create Virtual Machine window will appear. Now you need to enter the VM name, type, version, memory size and whether or not you want to create a hard disk.
Note that this is not actually the computer name, but the name that VirtualBox will use when storing the VM in its inventory. This is because at the time of this writing Server was released less than a month ago and VirtualBox has not updated their software to include this version.
Do not worry if you only see Windows as the latest version as it will run the newer OS perfectly fine. I know some students have gotten away with using much less than 4 GB so use as little as you can but you will certainly at least need 1 GB of RAM.
The next screen is asking us to create the virtual hard disk. The important thing is to move the size above 25gb. I strongly recommend that you use dynamically allocated for the method of storing the VM and moving the file size up to at least 60 GB. Now you can see the VM has been created and is listed in our inventory. There are a lot of settings here so I am just going to point out what I believe are important. Be warned, this feature does constantly fail in VirtualBox but it is extremely convenient when it is actually working.
If you would like to add an additional hard disk file, this can be done under the Storage tab by clicking on the. Next you need to navigate to and select the ISO file you wish to mount. The network tab allows us to configure VM network adapters as well as add subsequent networking adapters. Finally, we have the Shared Folders tab. This allows you to share files from your Host computer between your Guest VM without direct network connectivity. You may create a new shared folder and select a valid path on your Host PC.
When you are prompted by user account control UAC select yes and wait for the network to be created. VirtualBox is creating a new networking adapter for your VMs to use as a Host-only network. Once this is complete, you will see the new network listed under Host-only Networks. Select the network and choose the. You can see the network settings for our host-only network displayed here. Note that it automatically picks an IPv4 Address from an available subnet on your network but you are free to change this at any time.
If you would like to change it to something else, you need to verify that this network is not already in use on your network. This will list all of your network adapter configurations.
I have found two:. The first is my new VirtualBox Host-only network. The second is my Hosts IP that is handed out by my home network. Since I want to make my subnet similar to my host network, I am going to use the following address for my Host-only network: Now we need to connect our Guest VM to our newly created network. To do this open the settings of the VM and navigate to Network.
Click OK to close the Settings window and wait for the settings to save. Now our VM is connected to the Host-only Network and all that will need to be done on the VM is configure its local VM network adapter settings when we install Windows.
We are ready to install Windows Server on our VM. Right click on the VM and choose settings. Now to begin the installation we simply need to power on the VM.
Once the files have been loaded you will be prompted to select your language and keyboard input method. I will the default options and click Next. You will be brought to the OS installation screen:. You will need to use the command line to complete tasks and will not have a user interface no use of the mouse.
In Server , the datacenter and standard versions contained the exact same set of features and the only difference was the licensing capabilities. This is no longer the case however. With the Standard version you may only have 2 operating system environments while Datacenter is unlimited.
The Datacenter version also includes 3 new features not included with standard; new storage features Storage Spaces Direct and Storage Replica , shielded Virtual Machines and Host Guardian Service more secure VMs , a new networking stack better network performance. On the next screen accept the licensing agreement. On the next screen you will be prompted for the type of installation you want.
If you already have Windows Server installed you may choose an Upgrade. Upgrades can be nice as they will keep your files and settings intact if possible, however, even Microsoft claims that you should perform a fresh Custom install if at all possible. In my experience I have never had an Upgrade work without having things break later on.
Since we do not have an OS installed, we do not have any choice other than choosing Custom. On the next screen you will be asked choose where you want to install the operating system. Now the installation will begin. This install generally takes at least 20 minutes so now is a good time to take a break and wait for the installation to finish.
The computer will finish the installation and you will be brought to the login screen:. In this lecture we are going to do some basic configurations. First we are going to install VirtualBox Guest Additions and setup some basic preferences. Setup the computer's network configuration and make sure it can reach then internet as well as communicate with our Host computer.
Finally, we will change the computer name and reboot the server. Double click on this CD to launch the installation. Once the welcome appears click next through the prompts and select Install.
During the installation process you will be asked to install device software. Click the Install button to continue. Once the installation is complete you will be required to reboot the server. Choose the finish button and wait for the server to complete the reboot.
Once the computer reboots, log back into your desktop and wait for Windows to fully load. To do this, click the windows. Once you are done with that I also recommend that you pin command prompt to the taskbar. Now we are going to setup our network connection for our Host-only network. However, if you have been following all of the steps I have done so far continue on and follow these steps.
We are looking for your two ethernet adapters 1 and 2. If you do not see the same settings I do then you likely do not have the exact same network settings that I have on the Guest VM. Notice the first adapter has an IP address of I can see I am getting replies from Google. This tells me that I am connected to the internet.
Now I need to get the second adapter working. Notice the IP is a This means that the computer itself was unable to find a DHCP server on the network and instead assigned a private IP address to itself. We need to configure an IP address the is on the same network as the Host-only network we have created in previous lessons. This is what our VM got a Remember, you can use any address between 2 — and for the last octet of your IP address, but I am going to choose. Choose the subnet mask and this information will be automatically prefilled.
This will be the address of our network. If you remember, we set this in VirtualBox to be the Select OK and close out of the Properties window. Now before we can communicate between our other VMs and our Host we need to modify the firewall settings of our local server. We need to customize the protected network connections for Domain, Private, and Public profiles. Select OK and repeat these steps for the Private and Public profiles.
This will allow traffic on our Host-only network to pass through our network adapter without being blocked or rejected. Now we need to verify that we can communicate between our Host computer and our Guest VM. To do this we are going to attempt to ping our Guest VM from our Host computer. Attempt to ping the VM by typing the ping command followed by the IP address of the Server you just configured. In my case I set it to Here we can see that I can successfully ping the Guest VM.
Now we have a VM server that can reach the internet as well as communicate with other VMs and the Host computer. Next we are going to rename the server. To change your server name, open the Server Manager and navigate to Local Server.
Click the computer name to open the System Properties. The 01 simply means that this is the first domain controller in this network. Click OK and click OK again when you are notified you must restart. Server manager allows you to manage your local server as well as other servers on your local network. From here you can manage the computer name, IP address, firewall settings, Windows updates, view Events, Services, and much, much more. The first three items relate to the server or remote servers.
Whenever you install new server roles they will appear in this pane. The dashboard gives a quick overview of your server and allows you to configure the server quickly. I want the link for windows server storage standard. Hi Admin, thank you so much admin for direct link otherwise if go through microsoft portal they plenty of question , you make my day. Hello I need to download a full version of windows server std or datacenter. Your link is only an evaluation.
Can you send me a link where i can download it? Thanks a lot. It is asking for a license key when adding to VM. If we skip, its not getting installed.
