This article is aimed at installing Hyper-V and also to become familiar with this tool. Specific programs to install using PowerShell and details will be provided.

Hyper-V is a hypervisor developed by Microsoft that provides hardware-level virtualization for Windows operating systems. It is a key tool for managing virtual machines (VMs) on Windows VPS servers.

The first step to install Hyper-V is to open PowerShell and enter the following command:

Install-WindowsFeature Hyper-V-Tools

The result of this command will be an installation that will be displayed like this

To verify the installation was successful, run the following command in PowerShell. It will find all available Hyper-V modules.

Get-WindowsFeature Hyper-V*

If the Hyper-V GUI Management Tools checkbox is checked, the management tools were installed successfully. If you also want to install a module for PowerShell itself, run:

Install-WindowsFeature Hyper-V-PowerShell

Now that management tools are installed on our local server, we can connect to the remote Hyper-V server to manage the hosted servers.

Open the Hyper-V Manager, click on “Connect to Server…” (right-hand side panel), and enter the information required to connect to the server. If your servers are connected to a domain controller, you should connect both the local server and the remote server, as there is a possibility to search in the Hyper-V server directory.

Once connected, you will be able to manage all the servers on the remote Hyper-V server from the local server!
