Install Virtual Intelligent Sandbox on Hyper-V using the automated script

Place an order, download the software, then use the downloaded script to easily deploy Virtual Intelligent Sandbox on the Hyper-V server.

Enable Hyper-V (including Hyper-V Management Tools and Hyper-V Platform) from Control Panel → Programs and Features → Turn Windows features on or off → Hyper-V.
Disable Hyper-V compatibility mode on your Hyper-V server.

Virtual Intelligent Sandbox for Hyper-V is supported on the following platforms:

Windows Server 2016 Standard and Datacenter (Server with GUI)
Windows Server 2019 Standard and Datacenter (Server with GUI)

Requirements:

Disk size: 400 GB
RAM size: 48 GB
Virtual CPU Cores: 16

Note

The Hyper-V host and guest must both be on the supported platforms.
For nested virtualization, ensure that you have Hyper-V 2016 and 2019.

Your downloaded package consists of two scripts. This gives you three methods to install Virtual Intelligent Sandbox on Hyper-V.

Using setup.exe – Run this file as an administrator to create an instance of Virtual Intelligent Sandbox on Hyper-V.
Note
This VM creation method requires Visual C++ runtime package.
Using deploy_hvatd.ps1 – Run this PowerShell script to create an instance of Virtual Intelligent Sandbox on Hyper-V.
Using your own changed deploy_hvatd.ps1 – You can change this PowerShell script according to your needs, then run it to create an instance of Virtual Intelligent Sandbox on Hyper-V.
Note
deploy_hvatd.ps1 is signed by . If you change the script, it loses the signature.

Do one of the following:
- Run setup.exe as an Administrator.
  The setup automatically creates one instance of Virtual Intelligent Sandbox. The first instance is named hvatd1. You can run setup.exe multiple times depending on the number of Virtual Intelligent Sandbox instances that you require.
- Run deploy_hvatd.ps1 to create an instance of Virtual Intelligent Sandbox on Hyper-V.
  The script automatically creates one instance of Virtual Intelligent Sandbox. The first instance is named hvatd1. To create multiple instances of Virtual Intelligent Sandbox, create a deploy_hvatd.ps1 for each instance, and run them sequentially.
  Note
  You might have to set the execution policy using Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned.
- Change deploy_hvatd.ps1 according to your needs, then run it to create an instance of Virtual Intelligent Sandbox on Hyper-V. You can run the changed deploy_hvatd.ps1 multiple times depending on the number of Virtual Intelligent Sandbox instances that you require.
  Note
  deploy_hvatd.ps1 is signed by . If you change the script, it loses the signature.
  If you are running the changed script, you need to enabled nested virtualization. Run the following cmdlet to enable nested virtualization:
  Set-VMProcessor -VMName <VMName> -ExposeVirtualizationExtensions $true
  Replace <VMName> with the name of your Hyper-V virtual machine.
Add a network interface for the VMs.
1. Open Hyper-V Manager, then select a Virtual Intelligent Sandbox instance.
2. Right-click on the VM, then click Settings.
3. In the navigation pane, click Add Hardware, then choose a network adapter.
4. Click Add, then under Network, select the virtual network you want to connect to.
5. Click OK.
