MED-V Step by Step Setup Guide | Part 3: MED-V Client and Management Console

This is the last part of MED-V Step by Step Setup Guide which will cover the MED-V Client and Management Console installation. I will perform this installation in a Windows 7 operating system with 1.5 GB of memory. You need to have a machine with minimum of 1.5 GB memory in order to perform this installation. FYI, MED-V Client and Management Console only support Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 with minimum of 1.5 GB memory.

First of all, we’ll need to install Virtual PC 2007 SP1 located inside the MED-V folder and the required updates within the same folder.


After you’ve installed Virtual PC 2007 and all the required updates, execute the MED-V Client installer to kick start the setup. After you executed the installer, a prerequisites will check if you passed all the requirements.


MEDV MGMT 1
Click Next on the Welcome page

MEDV MGMT 2
Accept the terms in the license agreement and click Next

MEDV MGMT 3
Click Next on the Destination Folder page. Of course you can change the location by clicking Change.

MEDV MGMT 4
On the MED-V Settings page, tick Install the MED-V Management application and also rename the Server address to you MED-V Server name. For instance, MEDVSVR is my MED-V Server name.

*If you wanted to install the MED-V Client for user only, DON’T tick Install the MED-V management application.


MEDV MGMT 5
Click Install to start the installation.

MEDV MGMT 6
After the installation completed, un-tick Launch Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualization and then click Finish.

Next, launch MED-V Management under All Programs\MED-V to start the MED-V Management Console.


MEDV MGMT 17
Enter the User name and Password.

MEDV MGMT 18
Now you can manage all the virtualized desktop with this newly installed MED-V Management Console.

Cheers~!!! You have just completed the setup. Sadly that I won’t cover the administration and operation in this MED-V Step by Step Setup Guide, maybe in near future. See you~!!!
