You need to enable nested virtualization for a virtual machine named VM1 on SRV1.

To complete this task, sign in the required computer or computers.

Explanations

Enabling nested virtualization allows you to run a virtual machine inside another virtual machine. To enable nested virtualization for a virtual machine named VM1 on SRV1, you can follow these steps:

  1. Connect to the SRV1 virtual machine using Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) or another remote management tool.

  2. Check if nested virtualization is already enabled on the host machine by running the following PowerShell command:

    Get-VMHostCapability -VMName <SRV1> | Select-Object -ExpandProperty VirtualizationFirmware

    If the output is "VMX", nested virtualization is already enabled. If the output is "No", proceed to the next step.

  3. Shut down the VM1 virtual machine if it is running.

  4. Use PowerShell to enable nested virtualization for the VM1 virtual machine by running the following command:

    Set-VMProcessor -VMName <VM1> -ExposeVirtualizationExtensions $true

    This command enables the virtualization extensions for the VM1 virtual machine.

  5. Start the VM1 virtual machine.

After completing these steps, the VM1 virtual machine should be able to run other virtual machines inside it.
