Getting ready

Your Nano Server should be running in Hyper-V, and you should have administrator access on the Hyper-V host and know the VM Name and administrator password for the Nano Server.

You should decide on how to set up networking for the Nano Server VM. You can use DHCP (the default) or implement Static IP address details for your Nano Server. If you choose a static address, know the desired address, subnet, gateway, and DNS Server. In this recipe for Reskit.org, use the following:

• IPAddress: 10.10.10.131
• Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
• Gateway: 10.10.10.254
• DNS: 10.10.10.10/10.10.10.11
