Setting Up GreenRADIUS in Hyper-V
Prequisites
- Windows machine on which Hyper-V is installed
- GreenRADIUS OVA file (download it from here)
- Microsoft Virtual Machine Converter 3.0 installed (download it from here)
- Software to uncompress such as 7-Zip or WinZip
Steps
- Log in to the Windows machine, and extract the GreenRADIUS OVA file using software to uncompress such as 7-Zip or WinZip to a folder (e.g. D:\GreenRADIUS Virtual Appliance)

.vmdk' (e.g. GreenRADIUS_Virtual_Appliance_v4.1.11.11.vmdk) file in that folder. Note the path of vmdk file - Open powershell using administrative access and run the following commands:
# Import-Module "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Virtual Machine Converter\MvmcCmdlet.psd1"
- Convert the GreenRADIUS VMDK file (extracted in above steps) to Hyper-V file (i.e. VHDX) using the following command, and note the path of the output VHDX file: (e.g. in the following command, the vmdk file used is 'D:\GreenRADIUS Virtual Appliance\GreenRADIUS_Virtual_Appliance.v4.1.11.11.vmdk' and the output file is specified as 'D:\Demo\GreenRADIUS_Virtual_Appliance.vhdx'
# ConvertTo-MvmcVirtualHardDisk -SourceLiteralPath/"D:\GreenRADIUS Virtual Appliance\GreenRADIUS_Virtual_Appliance_V4.1.11.11.-disk1.vmdk" -DestinationLiteralPath "D:\Demo\GreenRADIUS_Virtual_Appliance.vhdx" -VhdTypeDynamicHardDisk -VhdFormat Vhdx
