Also note that you need a license to have the standard version running. You can run vCOPs without a license, but then you'll run the Foundation level which is far less advanced and had a lot fewer options. This page is about the standard edition. See this page for more information regarding the different versions.

If parts of the environment needs to be excluded due to design or license considerations this needs te be configured up front.
