Installing Hyper-V 2016

Also, just joining to a domain and attempting to manage will not work. You still need to enable a few things int he host system firewall.

Also, you need to setup your network team and such all before you go playing with Hyper-V Manager.
-
Then you open Hyper-V manager and setup your vSwitch and your default locations and such.
-
Thyen you can finally worry about creating a VM.
-
You can configure NIC Teaming and all that via "Server Manager" on a Win10 desktop if you want to do it via GUI. Same interface as on Server GUI.

I do not run RSAT on my desktop. I only enable Hyper-V Manager.

Hyper-V installer saw my disk, I parsed off 80 GB for Hyper-V and gave the rest to another partition for VMs.
Installation took about 45 mins (iDRAC on this server maxes at 100 Mb/s).Upon first boot, you have to provide an Adminstrator password - Set it and then reboot.
On the second boot I changed the computer name, and reboot.

https://i.imgur.com/egcmcId.pngOddly I was prompted for a new computer name after joining the domain and providing my username/password to complete that. I gave it the same name I already changed to.
It's possible that MS expects that most will need/want a new computer name when joining a domain, so perhaps they just do it by default after you joing a Hyper-V host to a domain, I'm not sure yet.Upon reboot, I logged in as a Domain Admin.
When you use the
Network IDto join a domain on Windows 10, Windows will prompt you to change computer name too. -

Windows has done this for a while. Server 2012 at least. Because I am used to it and always change the machine name at domain join time.

Yeah, you can just hit the "No" button.

Thought so.

Why did you not check the virtualization settings in BIOS prior to doing anything else?
I did, I verified that virtualization was enabled - though it could have disabled after resetting the BIOS.

There was no button, this was on a text screen on Hyper-v.

Then it offered a choice. most likely hit enter to keep same.

So many steps to go through to get Hyper-V setup. My god.

I know, it's just a quip.
Hypervisor devs need to streamline the process a bit.

Way more complicated than XS though.

Let's look at each step you have to take with any hypervisor
- Verify BIOS Virtualization
- For most SMB, setup hardware RAID 10 array
- Install Hypervisor on to partition of RAID 10 array
- Add guest storage location to Hypervisor
- Create NIC team.
- Create vSwitch using team
- Hyper-V only: add some basic firewall rules
- Hyper-V only: join to domain
- Set your defaults for guests such as storage locations
- Create VMs

I have to agree with Jared, not way more complicated, just a bit more tedious when you go through this process on paper.
Having to add firewall rules and joining it to the domain (while not big tasks) do make things more complicated.
