I have a Windows 7 guest which can no longer access protected Media Center recordings or encrypted cable channels.

• I had a Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V server running a Windows 7 Ultimate guest with Media Center shows recorded from CableCard.
• I shut down and exported the machine.
• I installed Server 2012 (not an upgrade).
• I imported the previously exported guest (choosing to use the existing identifier).
• I started the guest and found it will not play previous recordings because it thinks they were recorded on a different computer.
• All encrypted TV channels now show only a black screen.
• Unencrypted channels are unaffected.

The physical computer has not changed, so I'm assuming something in the Hyper-V export/import process caused PlayReady to assume the machine had changed. Windows activation was not affected however.

What can I do to import the guest so it continues to function as before?

Dear all, as HyperV doesn´t support systems without SLAT/EPD I don´t see any MS-supported  solution for fixing compatiblity issues  & problems  like XPM /VirtualPC under W7Pro.

This problem affect all systems with intel core duo, which could run quit perfect with W8pro by my experience!

Except all peripherals, which need an enhanced support by manufactures:

eg. any HP OfficejetPro Multifunctions devices: Officejet Pro 8xx, only basis support for print with LAN available !

This was same issue as with MS-VISTA and W7, full support of W7 after 18 Months after MS product release.

That might affect nearly all similar devices.

With VirtualPC/XPM enhancement I could fix this problem with seamless integration for my customers without

an additation lizenz.

As long I don´t find a similar solution, I will not recommend a rollout of W8Pro with my SMB customers.

I downgrade to W7 is an additions efford, which is not payed by my customers.

I have tested VirtualBox, which runs fine, but it doesn´t fix the licenz problem

Due to some time synchronization issues, I messed a bit too much with my Time Service settings and now my VM is stuck on the "Local CMOS Clock" time source.

I would like to get it back to sync with the "VM IC Time Synchronization Provider".

So far, I tried the solution proposed here: http://www.experts-exchange.com/OS/Microsoft_Operating_Systems/Server/Windows_Server_2008/Q_27256647.html But the VM is still using the wrong source. I also re-installed the Hyper-V Integration package to no avail.

In the registry, I noticed the key HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\w32time\TimeProviders\VMICTimeProvider\Parameters is missing the sub-key "IPC", which exists on another machine that is working as intended.

             We are working on complex software combination setup for our client. It includes several MS, our own amd non-MS products. To meet project requirement we must have modeling environment to install it all and play with it to get proper solution. After reading a lot of stuff from MS site we've chosen Hyper-V Server as virtualization planform. It was told we don't need anything except client OS licenses we got as TechNet subscriber. No one of Windows Server Licensing datasheet on MS site references Hyper-V Server. So far so good.

             One of software products uses USB dongle for copyprotection so we need to bring it to the test environment. RemoteFX was actively advertized as one of possible solutions. Why not use it on Hyper-V Server:

Hyper-V Server is a dedicated stand-alone product that contains the hypervisor, Windows Server driver model, virtualization capabilities, and supporting components such as failover clustering, but does not contain the robust set of features and roles as the Windows Server operating system. As a result Hyper-V Server produces a small footprint and and requires minimal overhead. Organizations consolidating servers where no new Windows Server licenses are required or where the servers being consolidated are running an alternative OS may want to consider Hyper-V Server.

            So it was configured (btw. it requires extra video card - Intel onboard video is not enough) from Hyper-V Server console. We use RemoteFX for the only Win7 Ent vm for USB dongle injection. We got what we wanted. It functioned for months.

             Now the sad part of story. Steel logic is (as usully it was found only AFTER we got problem)

• RemoteFX is part of RDS
• RDS have to be licensed on Windows Server
• We have to buy RDS CAL
• We have to install RDS licensing server, activate it and install bought CALs on it.

The problem is not to spend money but to do it in the right time. Now the work stoped. Technet doesn't provide RDS CAL for testing.

Now the questoins list

1. Is my licensing problem insight correct?
2. Who is responsible for missing exlanation of RemoteFX licensing policy on Hyper-V Server, or I'm wrong? Is it described somewhere?
3. My test environment is not a part of oranisation domain but virtualization platform (Hyper-V Server itself) is. All my coworkers are also users of the domain. The lab virtual network is routed with phisycal LAN (one of VMs attached to both networks and has RRAS configured).
   Can I install licensing server required for the lab into the virtual network without joining it to the domain infrastructure? (I'd like to keep the lab as isolated sandbox as much as it's possible) 

Thanks in advance for your help. I hope my English is acceptable.

Dears,

I need to know what are all the services and components that have to be monitored for a VDI environment with SCOM.

The VDI consists of Hyper-V, RD Session Host, RD Connection Broker, RD Licensing and SCVMM 2008 R2. All of them are installed on Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1.

Hello,

I have a DC and Server1, both of which are Windows 2008 R2 SP1.  Server1 has two NICs, let's call them NIC1 and NIC2.  Both NICs are assigned static IPs and are on the same subnet, pointing to the same default gateway.

I successfully joined Server1 to my domain, mydomain.domain.  I installed Hyper-V and chose NIC2 as the physical NIC to use.  Hyper-V then made NIC2 a virtual switch and a new adapter showed up as a virtual NIC  All this is normal.

The network on NIC1 shows as mydomain.domain.  However, the network on NIC2 shows as Unidentified Network.  I have been scouring the Internet for solutions but nothing seems to work.  Does anyone have any suggestions as to why my NIC2 is saying: Unidentified Network while NIC1 is not?

Thanks!

 Hello,

We experience some network problems in our iSCSI network. If we create for an example a VHD file on the CSV lun, we only see activity on a single iSCSI network. We see that it will use the second interface but uses a little or not at all.

The problem in this is, that one NIC is full and we get write delay errors and BSOD in the VM’s and also a BSOD on a SQL server that is not virtualised but has some luns connected to the same Netapp. Yes, there is a heavy load on the servers!

When we do this on our test environment we see it balanced over two NIC’s as we expected.

We have compared everything between the test en production environment but we see no difference (iSCSI and MPIO).

Settings TEST are:

2x Dell R610 with each 2 iSCSi NIC’s in the same network with different ip addresses for example 10.24.202.139 and 10.24.202.140 MASK 255.255.255.0 No gateway.

Servers running 2008r2 sp1

1x Netapp with 2 iSCSi NIC’s that are trunked with LACP. (Version 8.0.2P3 7-mode) 10.24.202.130

Settings PRODUCTION are:

4x Dell R610 with each 2 iSCSi NIC’s in the same network with different ip addresses for example 10.1.202.139 and 10.1.202.140 MASK 255.255.255.0 No gateway.

I am having trouble when using Hyper-V Manager getting it to attach to my Hyper-V Server.  I keep getting a message saying I don't have the permissions to do what I am doing.  I am using the HVRemote tool from the MSDN archive which is supposed to handle these issues easily.  Unfortunately I am still having problems.  I am logged onto the Hyper-V Server R2 with matching usernames and passworrds.  I've granted user access on the Hyper-V Server, and allowed anonymous logon.  At first I couldn't ping the Hyper-V Server, fixed that and also couldn't get name resolution and I fixed that by editing the host file.  I don't know what I am missing.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

I recently used disk2vhd to convert a physical win 2k3 sbs server SP2 to a virtual hyper-v server running server 2012.
All is well (VM running) but when installing the Integration services Setup, I get error:

"an error has occured. one of the update processes returned error code 1625"

I followed this post (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverhyperv/thread/3ebe1c78-976e-4abb-b0b2-9b1c25a7b3b9/) since there WAS an issue installing framework 3.5 I thought it would fix the issue.  There had been an update pending on the server for framework 3.5 that could not install and changing the registry key it installed.  But after running updates to have framework 3.5 and rebooting, still the same 1625 error.  

I also tried re-installing framework 3.5 and nothing.

To note, I am using the built in Administrator account for the domain of course.

Where should I go now?  Not really sure what to try.

Hello,

I've been tasked to do a trial of Hyper-V to see if it is a viable vSphere alternative for us.  I have reserved equipment for the test, but so far I have not got too far.  Our shop is entirely Unix & VMware at present, so we have minimal Windows Server experience beyond what is needed to run vCenter.

For the first server, we need a place to manage things so we have installed Windows Server 2012, configured networking, and added the Hyper-V role.  (All other cluster nodes will be bare Hyper-V.)

For the tests, the physical network topology of each cluster node is two Intel gigabit NICs teamed with LACP and sliced into four VLANs:

- Management LAN

- Storage LAN (not yet used)

- Migration LAN (not yet used)

- Virtual Machine LAN

Everything seems fine with the physical configuration.  It was no trouble to configure and seems to work fine; both the management VLAN and storage LAN are connected to the Windows Server 2012 host and work fine.  I have set up the virtual machine LAN as external & dedicated to Hyper-V (unchecked "Allow management operating system to share this network adapter" in Hyper-V Virtual Switch Manager).  I have created a small virtual machine and used the "Legacy" adapter type (to PXE boot) on the virtual switch.

All appears to work, but during PXE boot no IP address is obtained from the DHCP server.  I did some packet tracing and it seems the requests are going out and the DHCP offers are coming back, but they aren't making it to the VM.  

As a second test, I loaded a handy FreeBSD Live CD image, which works fine and sees the network adapter but has the same behavior.  Outbound traffic (e.g. ARP requests) is fine but inbound traffic (e.g. ARP replies) are not received.

As a third test, I configured two virtual machines running the FreeBSD image.  I statically configured addresses on both, and they could see each other, but still neither could see traffic from the outside world.

So, the problem is definitely some sort of barrier between the VLAN adapter and the virtual switch.  I've tried disabled the Windows Firewall on the Windows Server side, but no effect. 

Does anyone have any suggestions for where I could look to further debug this problem?

Thanks for any help!

Hi

We have a management server DC (2012) and a second management server (R2) both with Hyper-V role.  I have installed SCVMM2010 on the R2 box and was hoping to be able to 'RIP' user/public side servers straight into Hyper-V.

Have I got the SCVMM in the right place or should I reconnect the second server to the user side domain and then try?  I am currently unable to connect to the user side servers to rip them.

Thanks

Hello,

I've got a 3 node cluster running Windows Server 2012 on HS22 IBM Blades with 8GbFC HBA's connecting to a XIV SAN.  I am trying to get the virtual HBA's working in Hyper-V Guest running Windows 2008 R2.

I first created 2 virtual SAN Switches one connected to each port on my physical HBA (each physical port connects to a separate fabric).

I add two Virtual HBA's in my Guest, one to each VSAN Switch.

When I go to Zone the HBA's I only see side A of the virtual HBA's not both A and B.  On each fabric I should see two (A and B) WWPN but I only see one.

I can add disk and everything works, however when I go to Live migrate I get the following error due to side B not being zoned.

Live migration of 'Virtual Machine Win2012_01' failed.

Virtual machine migration operation for 'Win2012_01' failed at migration destination 'hv-cl07-c2'. (Virtual machine ID 2CE90D02-083C-4012-ACA1-BE8D35EFCA33)
