Activity 1-1 Installing Windows Vista



Estimated time to complete: minimum of 3 hours, depending on connection speed. This is a lab you may wish to complete in sections.

We will accomplish this task using a Virtual Server to host the Windows Server and client operating systems. Each student is assigned two virtual machine. Check Blackboard for your assigned student number

Please be aware – these labs take patience!. Don't let yourself get frustrated when things aren't simple. Use good research skills, ask for assistance, and post your problems and solutions on Blackboard for the rest of the class.

1. Create a VPN connection to your assigned VPN location (Lab 1).

2. Using Windows Internet Explorer, navigate to if you are assigned at netlabWIC, or for netlabMV. Note: other web browsers will not function properly, so use Windows IE.

3. At the certificate Error page, click "continue to this website (not recommended)"

4. Log in using your username and password (the same one you use with Blackboard and mysvc).

5. Click on Hyper-V Manager

6. At the remote app, click Connect. You can choose to allow your clipboard, printer & drives to connect at this time.

7. Log in again using your MySVC username and password.

8. The first time you come to this page, you will be required to install the Active-X control. Note – depending on many factors set up on your machine, you may need to complete more research in order to install this active-x control. Click the yellow bar (not the x a the right), and choose to install the add-on. You will also may need Remote Desktop version 6.1 to connect properly. If the machine you are using has the latest service packs installed, this should not be a problem. See notes at the bottom of the lab if you need to update the local machine

10. Find your assigned machines named: xxClient and xxServer (xx is your assigned student number).

11. Double-click or click to highlight your assigned machine name, from the menu that appears at the right, click on Connect. Again - log in.

12. You are now looking at the virtual machine starting up.

13. The correct DVD is currently in the DVD tray, so the machines will boot up from the DVD and be ready to begin the installation of both the client and the server.

Notice the top menu on the connection window when the machine is pulled up (below) . The first icon represents the Ctl-Alt-Del key. You cannot simply use Ctl-Alt-Del at your workstation, or you will be controlling your local machine. This is how you control your remote machine. Also on this menu are other controls to turn off/on, shutdown, pause etc. Point the mouse at these controls to understand what they do.

Technical notes:



In Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2, Terminal Services Web Access (TS Web Access) is a role service that lets users start Terminal Services RemoteApp programs from a Web browser. When a user starts a RemoteApp program, a Terminal Services session is started on the Windows Server 2008-based terminal server that hosts the RemoteApp program.

To start a RemoteApp program, a user connects to a Web site that is hosted on the Windows Server 2008-based TS Web Access server. When the user connects to the Web site, a list of available RemoteApp programs appears. Additionally, TS Web Access lets users connect to the remote desktop of any server or client computer on which the user has the required permissions.

You must have Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) client version 6.1 installed to use TS Web Access. RDC 6.1 is available with the following operating systems:

• Windows Server 2008

• Windows Server 2008 R2

• Windows Vista with Service Pack 1 (SP1)

• Windows XP with Service Pack 3 (SP3)

Note RDC 6.1 (6.0.6001) supports Remote Desktop Protocol 6.1.
