Creating Debian 9 Virtual Machine

Installing Debian 9 in a virtual machine in Hyper-V on Windows Server. We use several virtual machines for testing software deployments and upgrades before we deploy them to our production servers.

Our latest hosting platform now runs on Debian. This particular virtual machine will run a LAMP stack and be used for developing and testing WordPress themes and plugins.
