Hey Checkyourlogs Fans,
In this blog post I will show you how you can deploy SCVMM 1801 to a Hyper-V Virtual Machine. This is a really handy little script because it can help you get System Center Virtual Machine Manager going in your lab in a snap. The basic steps to accomplish this are as follows:
- Create a Hyper-V Virtual Machine running Windows Server 2016. In my case I have created a VM called VMM01. (I built these using my BIGDemo Script)
- Next you will need to download a copy of System Center 1801 Virtual Machine Manager from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/evaluate-system-center-release
-
Then Download the ADK 1709.
-
In our case we have stored it in in F:\Temp3
-
Next grab a copy of the PowerShell script from my GITHub Repository. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dkawula/Operations/master/System%20Center/Install-SCVMM-Hyper-V.ps1
and save it to f:\Temp3 -
Open an Administrative PowerShell Prompt and change the path to f:\temp1. Then type .\Import-Module .\Install-SCVMM-HyperV.PS1 -Force -Verbose and press Enter. This will load the Install-Veeam Module which we will use to deploy Veeam to our lab.
-
Next type Install-SCVMM -VMName SCOM01 -GuestOSName SCOM01 -VMPath f:\dcbuild_test\vms and press enter.
For this lab we assume that you had previously deployed SQL Server in the next blog post we will show you how to Deploy SQL Server from the Install-SQL script.
-
On the Please Select the SCVMM_1801.EXE window browse to f:\temp3\SCVMM_1801.Exe
-
On the Please Select the ADK1709.exe window browse to f:\temp3\adksetup.exe
-
Next input the credentials for your lab. In my case I will install using my Domain Administrator Account MVPDays\Administrator. We will pipe this into the VM using PowerShell direct with the $DomainCred variable.
-
At this point it is time to sit back and relax as the next steps will happen automatically:
- Adding a New VHDx file from the Host
- Formatting the New VHDx file and giving it a volume label of Veeam
- Mounting the VHDx to the Host
- Copying the SCVMM1801.exe specified earlier
- Copying the ADK1709.exe specified earlier
- Extracts the SCVMM1801.exe to .\SCVMM
- Installs ADK1709 with Features for SCVMM
-
Installs SCVMM 1801 Server and Console
- Logs can be located at %ProgramData\SCVMM\Logs

.Synopsis
Deploys SCVMM 1801 Server to a Hyper-V Lab VM
.DESCRIPTION
This Script was part of my BIGDemo series and I have broken it out into a standalone function
You will need to have a SCVMM Service Accounts Pre-Created and SCOM1801 Trial Media for this lab to work
The Script will prompt for the path of the Files Required
The Script will prompt for an Admin Account which will be used in $DomainCred
If your File names are different than mine adjust accordingly.
We will use PowerShell Direct to setup the Veeam Server in Hyper-V
The Source Hyper-V Virtual Machine needs to be Windows Server 2016
.EXAMPLE
TODO: Dave, add something more meaningful in here
.PARAMETER WorkingDir
Transactional directory for files to be staged and written
.PARAMETER VMname
The name of the Virtual Machine
.PARAMETER VMPath
The Path to the VM Working Folder - We create a new VHDx for the Veeam Install
.PARAMETER GuestOSName
Name of the Guest Operating System Name
Usage: Install-SCVMM -Vmname YOURVM -GuestOS VEEAMSERVER -VMpath f:\VMs\SCVMM -WorkingDir f:\Temp
