Build a Personal Hyper-V Lab with Windows Server 2012 R2

This video walks you thru how I configure my Hyper-V host using Windows Server 2012 R2. I go thru the network configuration of setting up both an external and an internal virtual network switch.
Do you want to learn how to build a personal lab for deploying SQL Server workloads on Windows Server Failover Clusters on multiple data centers?
This video is a part of a more in-depth online course that walks you thru the whole process. For more information, visit bit.ly/2bsTAmM

Edwin, is there any more videos to go along with this one?

[@_edwinmsarmiento]

+Rood67 Thanks for asking. I was supposed to have another one to continue this series. Stay tuned

Hello Edwin,
I was wondering if the dual core i5 brix would also work in a lab environment?

[@EdwinMSarmiento]

+TechPorkChop That depends on what you want to do. I primarily use the Brix as my lab environment but I don't do a lot of performance testing, mostly infrastructure setup and configuration

I am using the 90 day R2 I have installed on Dell Optiplex 760 with 4 Gigs of ram, the problem I am having at the moment is I am getting the auto config IP , it is connected directly to my router, trying to figure how I can get it to pull an IP, checking my router logs it is assigned an Ip address, so anyone has any thoughts on this

[@EdwinMSarmiento]

Did you try rebooting your router to see if that fixes the issue? Sometimes, the IP address assignment persists on the router even when the machine can no longer connect to it
