Hyper-V Stream deployment

Deploy Stream on Hyper-V using the provided VHD and PowerShell deployment script.

Hyper-V Stream Deployment

  • Once downloaded, the VHD image will need to be unzipped. Use the archive utility of your choice to unzip the image.

  • Launch PowerShell as an administrator.

  • As a ONE-TIME-SETUP STEP, run the below command to allow running of the installer.

    • Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope CurrentUser

  • Change directory to where you unzipped the VHD image.

  • You can use the PowerShell get-help command to see current options for the installation script.

    • get-help '.\Vectra Stream.ps1'

  • Please NOTE

    • To specify the storage path for the VM you must use the -path option, or your installation will occur in the current directory.

    • Remote hosts are also supported

      • For guidance in specifying remote paths, refer to the get-help option.

  • Execute the PowerShell script to begin the installation.

    • & '.\Vectra Stream.ps1'

    • You will need to specify the management switch and configuration.

    • The script will then create Stream and start it up.

  • Once the script has finished you can rename your VM in the Hyper-V manager if desired.

    • Stream will start automatically after the deployment script runs.

    • Renaming can be done while Stream is running.

    • If you shut down Stream, the Start button location is shown below.
