Understand Hyper- V’s architecture. When you have a good understanding of Hyper-V ’s architecture, especially when an operating system in a virtual machine is hypervisor aware versus non- hypervisor aware, you have a solid understanding of what is important from an architectural perspective.

You should know about the Hyper- V Integration Components and how they change the behavior of a virtual machine. Also know for which operating systems the integration components are available.
Exam Essentials

Know Hyper- V’s requirements and how to install it. Know the hardware and software requirements as well as how to install Hyper-V . Hyper- V requires an x64- based processor and Data Execution Protection (DEP). Hardware-a ssisted virtualization must be enabled— don’t forget this! Also remember that you can install Hyper-V two ways: using Server Manager or using the command line in Server Core.

Understand virtual networks and virtual hard disks. Virtual networks and hard disks are the two most tested topics. You definitely should know the types of virtual networks available (that is, external, internal only, and private virtual network) as well as all types of virtual hard disks (dynamically expanding, fixed size, differential, and physical or pass- through). You should be able to apply the correct one when needed. Don’t forget the Edit Virtual Hard Disk Wizard, which is also a good source for questions in the exam.

Know how to create and manage virtual machines. You should be able to explain how to create a virtual machine, what options are available to install an operating system in a virtual machine, and how to install the Hyper- V Integration Components on a virtual machine. Don’t forget about the virtual machine states and the virtual machine settings!

Understand how to back up and restore virtual machines. Have a good understanding of the concept of exporting and importing virtual machines, how snapshots work, and what lies behind a quick migration. Understand how you can export a virtual machine, what you should consider when moving it to a new host machine, and what happens after importing it to the import folder. The same applies to snapshots: you need to know what options you have available and what each option will do. Especially recognize the difference between applying and reverting a snapshot.
