# Usage
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Hyper-V provider is used just like any other provider. Please
|
|
|
|
|
read the general [basic usage](/v2/providers/basic_usage.html) page for
|
|
|
|
|
providers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The value to use for the `--provider` flag is `hyperv`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hyper-V also requires that you execute Vagrant with administrative
|
|
|
|
|
privileges. Creating and managing virtual machines with Hyper-V requires
|
|
|
|
|
admin rights. Vagrant will show you an error if it doesn't have the proper
|
|
|
|
|
permissions.

Boxes for Hyper-V can be easily found on
|
|
|
|
|
[Vagrant Cloud](http://www.vagrantcloud.com). To get started, you might
|
|
|
|
|
want to try the `hashicorp/precise64` box.
