Install Secure Web Gateway on a Hosted Virtual Machine

Use the Windows 2016 server in its Hyper-V role to set up a virtual machine for installing and running Web Gateway.

The virtual machine is hosted by the server, which runs itself as a virtual machine on Azure.

  1. Download an ISO image of the Web Gateway appliance software from the Content & Cloud Security Portal and store it in a location of your choice.
  2. Set up a virtual machine on the Windows 2016 server using Hyper-V.
    1. On the Windows 2016 Server interface, open the Hyper-V Manager
    2. Select entry for the server that is displayed, then click New and Virtual Machine.
    3. Configure settings for the new virtual machine:
      • Name and location
      • Generation: Generation 1
