No server license, No storage, No Active Directory

1. VDI in a Box Installation Guide
for Lab PCs

2. 2
Concept of Architecture
 Free with Windows Server
1. No Server License : Cost down
2. Active Directory  Workgroup
3. Windows Server DHCP  DHCP with vdiManager appliance
 User data
1. Without any storage
2. Data : save user data to a USB flash drive
 Image Backup
1. Master Image and ViaB appliance convert to templates
2. Export templates to Administrator’s HDD

3. 3
Component
VM Host : Hypservisor
VDI-in-a-Box
Virtual Appliance
 Key benefits
• Reduce costs
• Personalize virtual desktops
• Scale on-demand
• Achieve built-in high availability
• Simplify management
• Deliver a high-definition user on-
demand experience

Importing Virtual Machine
Requirement : Xenserver, vdiManager VM, Windows 7 VM

5. 5
Change the MAC address of Windows 7 VM
* MAC Address Pool
• MAC address range must be in the form of "00:50:56:[0-3]x:xx:xx".
• The end of the range will be determined by "MAC Address range length”
