Installing VMM 2012 R2 Preview by single server scenario on Windows Server 2012 R2 RTM

I talked about installing VMM 2012 SP1 on my previous blog, now it is time to install VMM 2012 R2 Preview on Windows Server 2012 R2 RTM.

A- Installing Server 2012 R2 RTM

After completing server 2012 RTM installation add accounts to administrator group as in my previous blog and then install .NET 3.5 from Powershell;

B- Completing VMM 2012 preview Prerequisites;

     1) ADK 8.1

          2012 R2 comes with Powershell 4 therefore you don't need to install Powershell 3.0 etc.  It can br   check if desired like;

PS C:\Windows\system32> $host.version
Major  Minor  Build  Revision
