Win2016 Nano Server Installation

Microsoft has brought a new nano server option in the latest Windows Server 2016. Microsoft says Nano server will be at the heart of the next generation of cloud infrastructure and applications. The Nano server for deep refactoring will focus specifically on cloud infrastructure, cloud applications, and containers. In addition, the roles and optional features of the Nano server platform are implemented externally. The installation of the Nano server is also not a regular installation method, and you need to use a specific script to convert the WIM file to a VHD file and install it using a virtual machine or a VHD-initiated method. Next, you'll learn how to install Windows Nano Server by using Hyper-V virtual machines.

1. First download the installation CD for Windows Server TP5 from Microsoft's website, mount the CD-ROM, and then copy the X:\NanoServer\NanoServerImageGenerator folder to the native disk. You can see that there is a corresponding PowerShell script in the file to convert the Nano server VHD file.

3. Browse to the directory where you just copied the Nanoserverimagegenerator folder and enter the command line Import-module. \nanoserverimagegenerator–verbose, To load the module generated by the nano image.

4. Enter New-nanoserverimage-edition standard-deploymenttype guest-mediapath D: \-basepath. \base-targetpath C:\vhd\Nano. Vhd-computername Nano1

where d drives the directory that is mounted on the Windows Server 2016 installation CD

C:\VHD\Nano.vhd is the newly generated VHD file

Nano1 is the computer name

5. Enter the Nano server's administrator password to start the entire build of the Nano VHD file.

6. After the PowerShell script finishes executing, you can see that the disk of the Nano virtual machine is created in the appropriate directory, which is only 528MB in size.

7. Create a new virtual machine using the Nano server disk that you just created in Hyper-V manager.

8. Start the virtual machine and you can see that the nano has started.

9. Enter user name and password login
