Getting ready

You need Windows Server 2016 installation ISO file and a Windows Server 2016 system running Hyper-V (HV1). This recipe assumes the path to the ISO file is D:\iso\WinServer2016.iso.

This recipe assumes you have Hyper-V setup and have at least one switch defined.

You also need a folder for storing the base image files (C:\NanoBase in this recipe) and a folder for storing the virtual machine file and VHDX files (C:\VMs in this recipe).
