Acknowledgments
Fourth time lucky! Writing takes quite a bit of personal commitment and dedication, but it also takes a lot of support. Taking up such a project would not be possible without help from family, friends, and colleagues. I would like to thank my wife, Lisa, for her continued help and for simply keeping everything together, and my children for being especially patient while I worked.
A special thanks go to the editors at Packt Publishing (huge thanks goes to Rahul Nair, Mehvash Fatima, Nirant Carvalho, and Narsimha Pai) for taking this project and making it a reality.
My co-author (Charbel Nemnom) for giving me the opportunity to write with him. As part of this book project, I got the opportunity to write about features that I had not had the opportunity to dive deeply into, and so I also got the opportunity to go and develop my own skills as part of the process.
Finally, I would like to thank a number of people for helping me along the way: Ben Armstrong, Rob Hindman, Lars Iwer, Kathy Davies, Catherine Watson, Subhasish Bhattacharya, Patrick Lang, Jim Wooldridge, and Matt McSpirit.
Charbel Nemnom is a Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) for Cloud and Datacenter Management (CDM) and a Technical Evangelist for 5nine Software and Unidesk Coporation. Charbel has extensive Infrastructure expertise and a vast knowledge of a variety of Microsoft and VMware technologies. He has over fifteen years of professional experience in the Information Technology field and guiding technical teams to optimize the performance of mission-critical enterprise systems. He has worked as a system and network engineer, senior consultant, and as regional technical manager and has a history of successful enterprise projects in the IT, banks, education, and publishing sectors. He works as a Virtualization Consultant and Architect in the MENA region. He authored Getting Started with Windows Nano Server, co-authored Windows Server 2016 Hyper-V Cookbook, Second Edition, and reviewed Hyper-V Best Practices books (Packt Publishing). Charbel also runs his blog at (https://charbelnemnom.com) where he blogs frequently about Software Defined Datacenter and Cloud Computing. Charbel is Microsoft, Cisco, and VMware certified and holds the following credentials: VCA-DCV, MCP, MCSA, MCTS, MCITP, MCS, MCSD, MCSE, CCNP, ITIL®, and PMP®. You can also follow him on Twitter @CharbelNemnom.
Books don’t write, edit, and publish themselves. I would like to dedicate a big thank you to my family for their support and patience for being busier than usual the last one year, and for always supporting the crazy things I want to do, who is the reason that I can fulfill my dream and follow my passion.
Of course, the book wouldn’t be possible at all without the Packt Publishing team for supporting all the authors and reviewers during this project. I want to say a big thank you to the Acquisition Editors Rahul Nair, Content Development Team Mehvash Fatima, and Technical Editors Nirant Carvalho, Narsimha Pai.
Thanks also to my co-author Patrick Lownds and the reviewers who provided feedback during the book development: Leandro Carvalho, Didier Van Hoye, and Carsten Rachfahl.
Finally, I want to thank Microsoft product group individually and give them the credit they deserve for helping make this book as good as possible (if I’ve missed anyone, I’m truly sorry): Ben Armstrong, Mathew John, Sarah Cooley, Theo Thomson, Andy Atkinson, Chris Huybregts, Jim Wooldridge, Lars Iwer, Steven Ekren, Claus Joergensen, Cosmos Darwin, Elden Christensen, Subhasish Bhattacharya, Don Stanwyck, Andrew Mason, Anders Ravnholt, Dan Harman, Venkat Yalla, Samuel Li, Rajani Janaki Ram, Rochak Mittal, Aditi Gangwar, Neela Syam Kolli, Shon Shah, Sneha Agrawal, Swapnil Sumbe, Ravi Chivukula, Nirbhay Singh, Ashish Mehndi, and Schumann Ge.
Leandro Carvalho works as Microsoft specialist with products such as Windows Server, Hyper-V, Public and Private Cloud, Office 365, Security, System Center, Exchange, Sharepoint, Project Server and client systems, in addition to helping the community constantly with articles, forums, videos and lectures about his passion: Microsoft Virtualisation and Cloud Computing. He has been speaking in large events such as MMS, Teched Australia, MVP Pro Speaker Series and many others and is the author of the Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V Cookbook. Leandro has been working as Microsoft trainer since 2006 and has obtained the certifications Certified Ethical Hacker/MCP/MCSA+M+S/MCSE+S/MCTS/MCITP/MCT and MVP. In 2009 he received the MCT Awards Latin America Trainer of the year and since 2009 the Microsoft MVP as a Virtualisation Specialist.
I always thought that writing my own book was a distant and almost impossible dream when I realized it could actually become reality when I was invited to write the first edition of this book back in 2012 which was a great success and accomplishment in my professional life. I also thought that would be it and I would never write another one again. So good to be wrong once more. This time I want to thank my wife Juliana and my son Eduardo. I love you both and I dedicate this book to you. Secondly I would like to thank Patrick Lownds and Charbel Nemnom for the amazing work of getting the book updated to the 2016 version. Thank you guys!

Preface
Thank you for purchasing Windows Server 2016 Hyper-V Cookbook – Second Edition. The book you are holding is the result of 15 years of experience in the IT world and over 10 years of virtualization experience that started with Microsoft Virtual Server 2005, Virtual PC, and now Hyper-V. Virtualization is the keystone of any modern data center.
Hyper-V is a mature and widely adopted virtualization platform that is designed to work with both Windows and Unix/Linux virtual machines. In addition to being used by many of the largest companies in the world, Hyper-V powers Microsoft Azure public cloud, which is one of the largest cloud services in the world, and it powers Microsoft Azure Stack for on-premises and private cloud deployment including the support for both enterprise and service providers.
Our aim in this book is to provide you with the information you need to be immediately effective in deploying, migrating, and administering Hyper-V environments.
We hope that you’ll get as much from reading this book as we did from writing it. Please be sure to post any questions, comments, or suggestions you have about the book in the Author Online forum. Your feedback is important to us in order to develop the best book possible in the future.

What this book covers
Chapter 1, Installing and Managing Hyper-V in Full, Server Core, and Nano Server, will provide all the information you need to know to install and manage Hyper-V in Full, Server Core, and Nano Server before, during, and after the installation to make sure that you can save time and solve any problems that you may face.
Chapter 2, Migrating and Upgrading Physical and Virtual Servers, will show you everything you need to know in order to migrate and upgrade any physical and virtual servers to make sure you have an easy and successful upgrade to the new Windows Server 2016 Hyper-V.
Chapter 3, Managing Disk and Network Settings, will go deeper into the various configuration options for virtual machine disks and virtual networks so that you can select the best setting based on the applications you need to deploy.
Chapter 4, Saving Time and Cost with Hyper-V Automation, will show you how easy and user-friendly PowerShell is and how to create simple steps to make sure that your tasks will be done faster and with lesser work. It’s very important to work more effectively and be able to automate processes and achieve automation in your day-to-day job.
Chapter 5, Hyper-V Best Practices, Tips, and Tricks, will ensure that you use the correct settings and apply the best configuration for Hyper-V. Best practices are a set of rules and tips created by Microsoft to help you identify problems, misconfiguration issues, and anything else that is generally not recommended. This chapter will also cover Hyper-V nested virtualization and graphics improvement in Windows Server 2016 Hyper-V, so you can virtualize any workload that requires high graphics.
Chapter 6, Security and Delegation of Control, will dive into how to configure Windows Update for Windows Server 2016 Server Core, Windows Server 2016 Server with Desktop Experience and Nano Server installations, access control using Authorization Manager and Simple Authorization, network protection with Port ACLs, virtual machine security with Secure Boot, disk encryption, shielded VMs, and Hyper-V auditing. Security is very important in any infrastructure, and this applies to virtualization and hybrid cloud computing as well.
Chapter 7, Configuring High Availability in Hyper-V, High availability is a key component for any workload you want to virtualize. The good news is that Windows Server 2016 Hyper-V comes with the right tools and high-availability solutions for almost all scenarios. In fact, Hyper-V and Failover Clustering are so deeply integrated in this release to make sure that they can respond appropriately for any transient failure you may encounter in your environment.
Chapter 8, Disaster Recovery for Hyper-V, will walk you through the most important processes to set up disaster recovery on-premises for your virtual machines running on Windows Server 2016 Hyper-V. High availability is not disaster recovery. Natural disasters, fire, flood, viruses, data corruption, human errors, and many other factors can make your entire system unavailable, and not having the proper precautions in place could mean losing it all.
Chapter 9, Azure Site Recovery and Azure Backup for Hyper-V, There are several advantages why you want to. will discuss the advantages of reconsidering your on-premises Disaster Recovery plan and will walk you through the most important processes of protecting your on-premises investment by leveraging Azure Site Recovery (ASR) and Azure Backup, which is a Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) solutions offered by Microsoft Azure.
Chapter 10, Monitoring, Tuning, and Troubleshooting Hyper-V, will show you how to use the default tools in Windows Server 2016 to monitor your physical and virtual servers, how to troubleshoot, and how to tune your Hyper-V servers, so you can respond faster and start troubleshooting to solve any problems that may arise in your environment.
Appendix: Hyper-V Architecture and Components, will explain the most important Hyper-V architecture components compared with other versions including the Hyper-V client on Windows 10, Nano Server, and VMware vSphere 6.5, as Hyper-V is now a mature and widely adopted virtualization solution. It also includes the backup improvements as well as the new licensing model that has been introduced in Windows Server 2016.
What you need for this book
To follow along on what we have been covered in this book, we strongly believe in learning by doing, and therefore we highly encourage you to try out all of the technologies and principles we covered in this book. You don’t need a huge server. For most topics, you could use a single machine with Windows Server 2016 installed and 16GB of memory, and by enabling Hyper-V-nested virtualization, you could enable a few virtual machines to run concurrently. Ideally, though, having at least two physical servers will help with the replication and high-availability concepts. With Windows 10, Hyper-V client is included in the box. So even without any kind of real server, it is possible to explore many of the Hyper-V technologies.
Who this book is for
This book is intended for anyone who wants to learn and master Hyper-V 2016 and take advantage of all exciting new features that Windows Server 2016 Hyper-V has to offer. If you have a basic knowledge of virtualization, it will be helpful, but it’s not a requirement. If you are an architect, a consultant, an administrator, or really anyone who just wants better knowledge of Hyper-V, this book is for you as well.
Please note that in some chapters, we go into advanced topics that may seem over your head. In those cases, don’t worry. Focus on the preceding elements that you understand better, and implement and practice them to nurture your understanding. Then, when you feel ready, come back to the more advanced topics and read them multiple times. Repetition is the key. The more you repeat, the more you understand better.
