Complete the following steps to install Ivanti EPMM using Hyper-V ISO distribution.

**Procedure **

1. If you have not done so already, create a VM that meets specifications recommended by Ivanti. See [Virtual Ivanti EPMM requirements](docId\:iq8IiwKzkVgqIp14RSLmR) for recommended specifications.

:::hint{type="info"}
Verify static and dynamic allocation of RAM. For example, if the suggested RAM is 8 GB as per Ivanti EPMM guidelines, then set the RAM memory to a guaranteed allocation of 8 GB.
:::

1. Place the ISO distribution in an existing datastore.
2. In Hyper-V Manager, right-click the name of the VM you created, then click <font color="#323232">Settings</font>.
3. To install from an ISO image, select <font color="#323232">Image File</font>, click <font color="#323232">Browse</font>.
4. From the <font color="#323232">Open</font> dialog box, select the ISO file in the datastore.
5. Set Hyper-V MAC setting from <font color="#323232">Dynamic</font> to <font color="#323232">Static.</font> To change the Hyper-V MAC settings, click on <font color="#323232">VM settings &gt; Network adapter. </font>For <font color="#323232">MAC Address</font>, select <font color="#323232">Static</font>.

At the very first boot, static MAC address will be shown as all 0 or empty. If you do not know the MAC address, select MAC Address as ‘Dynamic’ to assign on its own. After ISO installation, you can stop the VM and set it to static with the assigned/fetched MAC address.

6. Click <font color="#323232">Apply</font>, then <font color="#323232">OK</font>.
7. Start the VM.
   The VM automatically installs and reloads after a few minutes, and the installation program starts. See [Installing VMware ISO](docId\:k4PEUuAWQnvcnaRKNGiY_) for the next steps.
