Yep, that’s what it says: Your first steps to building a Private Cloud! Part 1 of 3–Downloading and Building the Virtual Machines

As Blain Barton says: In this screencast, I’ll show you how to download and configure both a Windows Server .iso file as well as a .vhd file for setting up the environment for Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 and System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2012 RC integration. I’ll run dcpromo on the Windows Server and turn it into a Domain Controller then add the appropriate user account for System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2012 RC console control.

If you are interested into not going for the VHD, instead of installing every server, try my YouTube Channel. I’ve posted major installation tasks as video’s in my youtube channel, and the installation notes are uploaded here in this site under the category of Microsoft. So, good luck.
