Tips
You are probably licensed for Lab Management
Invest in good hardware for VM Hosts
Look at the ALM Rangers VM Factory as a way to create VMs
If you wish to use Templates you have to set properties via SC-VMM 2012 now, can’t be done in MTM anymore
VM & Lab Environments are bound to Team Projects, you can move them but it is awkward
Tips
Don’t create labs directly in the SC-VMM library
Build your VMs and domains first
Store them in the SCVMM library as VMs
Build your network isolated environments from these
Only when all is working store the whole environment in
the library
Tips
Important to consider governance
Think about dedicated host groups to separate the Lab
Management from other VMs
Don’t try to be clever, and be patient
Don’t tinker in SCVMM let Lab Management automation do
the work if possible (but you will need to tinker!)
Remember even if you don’t have Hyper-V you can still run
standard environments
