TrueConf Server<\/a> can be run on a virtual machine. However, it is complex and inadvisable to implement for inexperienced users, as enabling a virtual machine to operate correctly can be quite difficult at times.<\/p>\n

This manual will teach you how to configure Hyper-V<\/a> virtualizer on a Windows Server 2012 R2.<\/p>\n

\n

This article is for informational purposes only and does not guarantee an indispensable and full operation of TrueConf Server after following this instruction. TrueConf Technical Support does not advise<\/b> users on configuring virtual machines and running TrueConf Server on them. A virtual machine is an external system, which does not depend on TrueConf application. Its configuration and support are entirely user\u2019s responsibility.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Step 1: Verify hardware virtualization support<\/h2>\n

Hyper-V virtualizer is a hardware virtualization<\/a> tool which uses a special processor-based architecture for virtualization<\/a> purposes. Therefore, it cannot be launched on those processors which are not based on this architecture. <\/p>\n

To check if your hardware supports hardware virtualization, open Windows PowerShell console, type systeminfo.exe<\/b>, and press Enter.<\/p>\n

After entering this command, a long list of current system settings will be displayed on the console screen. Check if Virtualization Enabled In Firmware<\/strong>\u00a0is marked \u201cYes\u201d<\/b> in the last paragraph.<\/p>\n

\n

If this item is not marked as “Yes”<\/b>, Hyper-V cannot be installed on your system.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Step 2: Add the server to the list of components<\/h2>\n

Open the Server Manager. Select Manage > Add Roles and Features<\/strong>\u00a0in the top menu.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Select a server<\/h3>\n

In the Add Roles and Features Wizard<\/strong>, select\u00a0Server selection<\/strong>\u00a0and choose the required server in the left panel. If there is only one server, you don\u2019t need to choose anything.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Server Roles<\/h3>\n

Proceed to\u00a0Server roles<\/strong> menu on the left panel and check Hyper-V option. In the opened window check Include management tools (if applicable)<\/strong>. After that, click\u00a0Add Features<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Components<\/h3>\n

In the Features<\/strong>\u00a0menu, select the checkboxes required for Hyper-V operation:<\/p>\n
