• Detailed instructions can be found in the article “Installing and Configuring Test Agents and Test Controllers” at http://examcr.am/11pcal8

Installing and configuring System Center Virtual Machine Manager• To access the virtual machines that you create with

Hyper-V from Lab Management, you must install and configure SCVMM.

• SCVMM is a tool for managing your Hyper-V host machines from a central console.

• Lab Management communicates with SCVMM to be able to use the virtual machines and templates to create environments
