Installing the Self-Service Portal

The VMM Self-Service Portal is an optional component that can be installed to allow users to create and manage their own virtual machines. If you are planning to use this component, the next step in the VMM deployment process is to install the Self-Service Portal. To complete this task, perform the following steps while logged on to the VMM server as a local administrator:

1. Execute the VMM Setup Wizard (setup.exe) from the installation media, an ISO file, or a copy of the setup files from a shared network location.

2. In the Virtual Machine Manager 2012 window, select the Install option. This starts the VMM Setup Wizard.

3. On the first page of the wizard, What Would You Like to Do?, select Add Features.
