In this chapter, we installed the prerequisites for successful installation of System Center 2012 R2 Virtual Machine Manager. Then we configured hardware profiles, guest OS profiles for automation of Virtual Machine deployment. We also created a VM template to consolidate hardware and guest OS profiles. Then we created a logical network and VM network to route data from virtual machines.
In the next chapter, we will continue with System Center 2012 R2 App Controller, integrate the VMM server with App Controller and Azure Subscription, and add a network share.
