hyper-v-server-2008-r2

Hi,

I have a windows server 2008 r2 with 3 hyper-v vm's

IIS server
Sql server 3 -
Mail server

I'm new to networking/server configuration.

I have created a Virtual Network and can see each of the 3 VMs as well as the host on the network.

I can connect from each VM to the host using the admin account.

However, what would be the best (secure) way to create connections/accounts between the VMs, presumabely this shouldn't be done with an admin account but one with lesser priveledges.

For example, to be able to access the SQL Server VM from the IIS server VM?
