### Manual Configuration Setup
209+
210+
If you encounter errors running an unattended setup, it may have helpful to step through the process manually to identify where exactly and error is occuring. Make sure you are in an elevated PowerShell session and you have changed location to the configuration folder. If you have tried to setup the lab before run `Wipe-Lab` to remove previous set up files. Then run each of these commands individually:
211+
212+
* `Setup-Lab`
213+
* `Enable-Internet`
214+
* `Run-Lab`
215+
216+
Errors that affect setup should happen in one of these steps. If so, open an issue with configuration name, the step you were working on and the error message. Also include the output from `Get-PSAutolabSetting`.
217+
218+
After about 10 minutes, you can manually test to see if the configuration has finalized.
219+
220+
```powershell
221+
Invoke-Pester .\Vmvalidate.test.ps1
222+
```
223+
224+
You might still see errors, in which case try again in 10 minute intervals until the test completely passes.
