1 00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:03,210 In order to install Windows Server 2022, 2 00:00:03,210 --> 00:00:07,800 let's cover the versions of this new operating system so you can 3 00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:10,620 make a good decision of which one to install. 4 00:00:10,620 --> 00:00:12,420 First off, let's cover the requirements. 5 00:00:12,420 --> 00:00:13,700 For a processor, 6 00:00:13,700 --> 00:00:21,080 you need 1.4 GHz, it has to be 64‑bit, it needs to support NX and DEP, 7 00:00:21,080 --> 00:00:25,070 and you have to support second‑level address translation, 8 00:00:25,070 --> 00:00:27,440 that's EPT or NPT. 9 00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,790 All modern processors should meet these requirements. 10 00:00:30,790 --> 00:00:35,670 For RAM, you need 512 MB for the server core, 11 00:00:35,670 --> 00:00:41,460 2 GB for the desktop experience installation of this operating system. 12 00:00:41,460 --> 00:00:45,000 In storage, you have to have PCI Express now. 13 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:53,140 You can't use PATA or ATA or IDE or EIDE, and it has to have 32 GB. 14 00:00:53,140 --> 00:00:56,220 We need to have the Trusted Platform Module. 15 00:00:56,220 --> 00:00:57,790 If you're unfamiliar with this, 16 00:00:57,790 --> 00:01:02,200 it's a little chip on your server that identifies it and 17 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,920 also works with offloading some of the certificate 18 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:06,970 processing. For the network card, 19 00:01:06,970 --> 00:01:14,240 Gigabit Ethernet and UEFI for the firmware that supports Secure Boot. 20 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,880 Now, the versions of Windows Server 2022. 21 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,370 We have the Standard Edition, Datacenter Edition, 22 00:01:20,370 --> 00:01:25,970 and then something new, the Windows Server Datacenter: Azure Edition, 23 00:01:25,970 --> 00:01:30,350 and the Azure Stack hyperconverged infrastructure, 24 00:01:30,350 --> 00:01:33,830 otherwise known as the Azure Stack HCI. 25 00:01:33,830 --> 00:01:35,700 Let's take a look at these individually. 26 00:01:35,700 --> 00:01:38,030 With the Windows Server Standard Edition, 27 00:01:38,030 --> 00:01:42,980 you can have two guest virtual machines and one Hyper‑V host. 28 00:01:42,980 --> 00:01:46,870 You're limited to two Hyper‑V isolated containers with this. 29 00:01:46,870 --> 00:01:50,800 The Enterprise Edition, you have software‑defined networking. 30 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:54,530 This is an industry standard where you have a centralized 31 00:01:54,530 --> 00:01:59,150 location where you can control both your physical network 32 00:01:59,150 --> 00:02:02,710 devices and your virtual network devices. 33 00:02:02,710 --> 00:02:08,600 We're talking routers, switches, gateways, all of it in one place. 34 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:13,570 We have an unlimited Storage Replica and Storage Spaces Direct, 35 00:02:13,570 --> 00:02:19,880 which takes local hard drives on your machine and makes an array out of them. 36 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:26,110 This is a whole heck of a lot cheaper and simpler to operate and deploy 37 00:02:26,110 --> 00:02:30,540 than your typical NAS or SAN for your storage needs. 38 00:02:30,540 --> 00:02:33,940 We have the Host Guardian Hyper‑V Support, 39 00:02:33,940 --> 00:02:38,250 which essentially takes the virtual machines and assures that they're 40 00:02:38,250 --> 00:02:42,340 secure so we can have shielded virtual machines. 41 00:02:42,340 --> 00:02:46,740 And then we get to the Windows Server Datacenter: Azure Edition. 42 00:02:46,740 --> 00:02:50,730 This provides hot patching, SMB over QUIC, 43 00:02:50,730 --> 00:02:52,960 and the Azure extended network, 44 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,240 which are going to be covered later in this course. 45 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,390 Then finally, the Azure HCI. 46 00:02:58,390 --> 00:03:03,540 This is delivered as an Azure service, and it enables Azure Arc. 47 00:03:03,540 --> 00:03:09,280 This is a new management scenario where you have your Hyper‑V environment, 48 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:13,260 you have your on‑premises servers, your on‑premises devices, 49 00:03:13,260 --> 00:03:15,960 and then you have your Azure resources. 50 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:22,940 Well, now they can be managed in one centralized location with the Azure portal, 51 00:03:22,940 --> 00:03:28,650 meaning that your hybrid resources exist side by side in the Azure portal. 52 00:03:28,650 --> 00:03:32,510 This allows you to use Azure Backup, Azure Monitor, 53 00:03:32,510 --> 00:03:38,900 and the Azure Security Center with your local on‑premises resources. 54 00:03:38,900 --> 00:03:41,780 So those are the versions of Windows Server 2022, 55 00:03:41,780 --> 00:03:46,510 the Standard, Datacenter, Datacenter Azure Edition, 56 00:03:46,510 --> 00:03:49,040 and the Azure HCI. 57 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:56,000 Now let me show you how to install the Windows Server 2022 Enterprise Azure Edition.
