HCIBox simulates a 2-node physical deployment of Azure Stack HCI by using [nested virtualization on Hyper-V](https://learn.microsoft.com/virtualization/hyper-v-on-windows/user-guide/nested-virtualization). To ensure you have the best experience with HCIBox, take a moment to review the details below to help you understand the various nested VMs that make up the solution. | ||

## Active Directory domain user credentials | ||
|
||
Once you are logged into the _HCIBox-Client_ VM using the local admin credentials you supplied in your template parameters during deployment you will need to switch to using a domain account to access most other functions, such as logging into the HCI nodes. The default domain account is _[email protected]_. | ||
|
||
> **Note:** The password for this account is set as the same password you supplied during deployment for the local account. Many HCIBox operations will use the domain account wherever credentials are required. | ||
### Monitoring Azure Stack HCI | ||
## Monitoring Azure Stack HCI | ||

## Virtual machine management through Azure portal | ||
|
||
Azure Stack HCI supports [VM management through the Azure portal](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure-stack/hci/manage/azure-arc-enabled-virtual-machines). Open the [HCIBox VM provisioning documentation](/azure_jumpstart_hcibox/RB/) to get started. | ||

### Azure Kubernetes Service | ||
## Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) | ||
|

### Advanced Configurations | ||
## Advanced Configurations | ||
|
||
Some users may be interested in changing HCIBox's default configuration. Many settings can be configured by modifying the values in the [_HCIBox-Config.psd1_](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/microsoft/azure_arc/main/azure_jumpstart_hcibox/artifacts/HCIBox-Config.psd1) PowerShell file. If you wish to make changes to this file, you must fork the Jumpstart repo and make the changes in your fork, then set the optional _githubAccount_ and _githubBranch_ deployment template parameters to point to your fork. | ||
|
||
> **Note:** Advanced configuration deployments are not supported by the Jumpstart team. Changes made to the _HCIBox-Config.psd1_ file may result in failures at any point in HCIBox deployment. Make changes to this file only if you understand the implications of the change. | ||
