Hello. This time we will learn to install the SCVMM 2007. This guide is intended, to show the installation step by step. The SCVMM 2007, allows us to manage virtual machines (VM) in a virtualization environment on Windows Server 2003.
Some features of SCVMM 2007:
- Centralized Management of VMs on Virtual Server Platform 2005 SP2.
- Conversion of VMs to VMware virtualization support on Windows (either Virtual Server 2005 SP2 or Hyper-V on Windows Server 2008). This process also denom V2V.
- Converting physical servers to virtual (P2V).
- Centralized Library (Pictures and virtual disks).
- Smart Display, SCVMM stores and places the virtual server on a host with enough physical resources to function properly.

start with the step by step.
- Installing Virtual Machine Manager Server . Place a physical server with good disk storage and RAM. These resources vary depending on the number of VMs that you wish to mount on the server. The OS should be Windows Server 2003 Std or Ent (I recommend Enterprise as it recognizes more than 4GB of RAM). In my case I did a great iron.
- Start the installation by clicking on the setup.exe.
- will load the wizard and check if a component must be installed. In general you need: PowerShell, you can download http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/technologies/management/powershell/download.mspx , Windows Remote Management Installation or WRMI, http://support.microsoft. com/kb/936059 ;.
