In this 70-410 Objective we will cover the princples of installing Microsoft Server 2012R2. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fristly<\/g> unless you have a VLSC Agreement you will need to go to the Microsoft TechNet Evaluation Site and download the Server Installation ISO – Click Here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Once you have downloaded the installation media you can mount either burn that to a USB and use Rufus<\/a> for a Bootable USB or in this example i will be using a Hyper-V Generation Two Virtual Machine<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you start the virtual machine for the first time with the installation iso<\/g> mounted you will be prompted to ‘Press any ket<\/g> to boot from CD or DVD<\/strong>‘<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accept the EULA Agreement
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For a new installation you cannot complete an OS Upgrade as you have nothing to upgrade from so we select Custom and can prepare for disk configuration
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As this server is part of my lab environment it doesnt match the recommeneded specifications for the os hard disk space, the Miniumium recommened by Microsoft is 32Gb. Personally i would recommend for prodcution use you create a VHDX File of 120Gb to allow for Application and Updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Installation Starts<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
