== VMM Server Software Requirements ==
In addition to the above operating system requirements (i.e Windows Server 2008 64-bit Standard, Enterprise or Datacenter), the ''VMM Server'' component requires that the following items be installed prior to installation:
* Windows PowerShell
* Microsoft .NET Framework version 3.0 or later
* Windows Automated Installation Kit (Windows AIK)
* Windows Remote Management (WinRM)
Both Windows PowerShell and the Microsoft .NET Framework are available as options with Windows Server 2008 and may be installed using the ''Add Features'' option of the ''Server Manager'' console. WinRM is installed by default with Windows Server 2008, and the Windows AIK will be installed automatically by the VMM 2008 setup wizard if it has not already been installed on the target system.
== Self-Service Portal Software Requirements ==
In addition to the requirements for VMM Server, Internet Information Services (IIS) is required on the system on which the Self-Service Portal is installed. the IIS installation must also include the IIS Metabase Compatibility and IIS 6 WMI Compatibility options.
IIS may be installed on Windows Server 2008 systems using the ''Add Roles'' option of the Server Manager console.
== Database Requirements ==
VMM 2008 also requires that a database be available. This can be either Microsoft SQL Server or SQL Server Express. The database may be installed either on the same system as VMM Server, or on a separate server. For the management of larger virtualized infrastructures (in excess of 150 host systems), the deployment of the full Microsoft SQL Server product on a separate server is strongly recommended. For smaller environments, SQL Server Express may be installed on the same system as the VMM Server component.
