Windows Server 2022: Hyper-V VM with Installed OS and Plesk Control Panel - Internal IP Not Public

Windows Server 2022: Hyper-V VM Installed with Internal IP - Plesk Control Panel

This article will guide you through the process of installing a Windows Server 2022 virtual machine (VM) on Hyper-V, as well as the installation of the Plesk control panel. However, you may encounter an issue where the virtual machine's internal IP address is not public.

Installing Windows Server 2022 on Hyper-V

The first step is to install Windows Server 2022 on Hyper-V. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Open the Hyper-V Manager.
2. Click on New and then Virtual Machine.
3. Follow the wizard to specify the name and location for the new VM.
4. Assign the necessary amount of memory, processor cores, and a network connection for the VM.
5. Create a new virtual hard disk for the VM or use an existing one.
6. Insert the installation media for Windows Server 2022 and complete the installation.

Installing Plesk Control Panel on Windows Server 2022

After installing Windows Server 2022 on Hyper-V, you will want to install the Plesk control panel. Here's how:

1. Log in to the VM as an administrator.
2. Open a web browser and navigate to the Plesk installation page.
3. Download and run the installation file.
4. Follow the prompts to select the desired Plesk edition and specify the installation directory.
5. Create an administrator account and configure the panel settings.

Virtual Machine Internal IP Not Public

If you find that the virtual machine's internal IP address is not public, this is because the IP address is only accessible from the host machine. To make the IP address publicly accessible, you'll need to:

1. Configure the VM's network adapter to use a public network instead of a private one.
2. Assign a static IP address to the VM's network adapter.
3. Configure the host machine's firewall to allow incoming traffic to the VM's IP address.

• Installing Windows Server 2022 on Hyper-V involves creating a new VM and installing the operating system.
• Installing Plesk control panel on Windows Server 2022 requires logging in as an administrator, downloading the installation file, and following the prompts to complete the installation.
• If the virtual machine's internal IP address is not public, you'll need to configure the network adapter, assign a static IP address, and configure the host machine's firewall.
