I have Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V in my lab, and I found the following issue:
1. Run a Generation 2 VM(Windows Server 2012 R2)
2. Add a DVD Rom to the SCSI controller(the default one)
3. Attach an ISO file to the DVD(then I can see the DVD mounted in the VM)
4. Add another DVD Rom to the above SCSI controller too
5. Then the first DVD Rom missing in the VM
I got the same issue when I added a VHD file to the SCSI controller after the DVD Rom.

HI Experts,
I have an issue with Hyper-V replica while migrating replica VM's from Windows server 2012 cluster to 2012R2. basically the replica breaks when i live migrated a replica VM from Windows 2012 cluster to a new 2012 R2 clustered host. when i checked the eventviewer it is still looking at the old Hyper-V host in 2012 cluster where the replica VM resided before and is failing to resume replication as it cannot find the replica VM in the old 2012 Hyper-V host . I was advised that Microsoft hasd enabled the functionality to allow replica VM's to continue replication when migrated from Windows 2012 to Windows 2012 R2 to enable seamless upgrades but i cannot see this working in practice for us. We have a replica broker configured on the new 2012 R2 cluster as well. Any help is appreciated.
Kind regards,
Logesh

Hi
I have a 2012 server with a static 192.168.1.102 ip address and a 255.255.255.0 subnetmask. This server can be pinged by other servers.
On this server I have Hyper V installed, and configured a virtual internal network switch.
In Hyper V, I installed a 2012 server, using the virtual internal network switch, with the static 192.168.1.111 ip address and 255.255.255.0 subnetmask. The virtual server can ping other virtual computers using the same virtual internal network switch.
However, the host server can't ping the virtual server and vice versa. What am I doing wrong? I there something else that needs to be configured?
Hi,
I have 2 servers with WS 2012 R2 and I need to setup cluster between them for high availability. what options do I have?
Thanks,

Standalone Host with 2012 Datacenter-2cpu,128gb Ram,5TB of local storage.
VM- 2012 Standard, 4vcpu,8gb RAM,200gb OS,2.5TB Data storage
This VM is one of our main File and print servers. About every 9th day it will just quit connecting CIFS sessions and you can't get explorer to respond from the console. It looks like it wants to do a restart, but i have waited 30 minutes and it did nothing. I end up resetting it. If it didn't happen so regularly i would just say it just needs a reboot once in a while, but this is way to frequent and a real pain.
Event log has only 1 recurring error and i can't figure out how to stop it.
event 10010
The server {73E709EA-5D93-4B2E-BBB0-99B7938DA9E4} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout.
The Guid "microsoft wmi provider subsystem host"
everything i find online about this error doesn't pan out.
Hi all,
I have a NIC Team with 4 1GB NICs. The NICs are VMQ capable. Should I enable VMQ on the Team? If so, should i enable it on each nic adapter or on the team adapter, or on both?
Thanks,

Hi ,
kindly help , how to solve the following error it is repeated so much on the cluster
HVRep is hyper-v replication broker
Cluster network name resource 'HVRep' failed registration of one or more associated DNS name(s) for the following reason:
This operation returned because the timeout period expired.
Hi All,
It's to my understanding that migrating VM from a host to another we should use the import/export function in hyper V.
I have my old hosts running 2008R2 and i've recently get some new blade servers to migrate to. I've installed 2012 R2 on my blade servers and have clustered it. So now i just need to migrate the VMs to the new blade servers.
All the VMs i'm migrating are testing/development VM's and hence there is bound to be snapshots and using import/export should be able to preserve the snapshot on migration. However when i tried to import the VM on the 2012r2 host i can't seem to do it. It's not picking up the .exp file.
Am i missing something here? Appreciate if some one could guide me on this.
I am relatively new to Hyper-V and I have recently installed about 60 virtual machines with Windows Server 2012 R2. I kicked off the VM install and configuration like an assembly line and I have found a couple or VMs that I followed the New Virtual Machine Wizard and created a Dynamically Expanding disk. I do not want this on my OS drive on my production servers for a number of reasons that I will not get into here.
My first thought was to do is reduce the drive, which I know cannot be done. I then thought to convert the disk but it consumes the whole of the dynamic potential, which somehow is a maximum of 2TB.
The questions that I have are... Is there an easy way to copy the data and configuration from the Dynamically Expanding VHD to a Fixed VHD in the magical virtual world? Is there a way to change the New Virtual Machine Wizard so that it does not automatically choose a dynamic disk?

I have a Windows 2012 guest running Exchange Server 2013 Standard on Hyper V Core 2012. Everything is updated and patched to the latest available. I experience that when I restart this guest it takes almost 5 minutes to connect to the network - while doing that it says "network unknown" and then when I log in it kept for 2-3 minutes and "Applying user settings". I can't RDP to the guest during this time and only use Hyper V Manager. When I logged in, it display "Applying user settings" for almost 2 minutes. Any ideas to help me sort the issue? The other guests on the host does not experience any of this.
I have done the following :
Remove the network adapter on the guest and re-assign it again. I also removed the network adapter through Hyper V manager and recreate it. Same issue. There is no issues on the DNS servers and all IP's is static.
What I experience is that on the first screenshot this happens after the guest is boot up...nothing filled in at the IP Addresses section. Only after 2-3 minutes the information below that screenshot appears for the IP Address.
I have also logged a similar post in the Windows 2012 forum but no answer there was given to assist me and I believe that this could be more related to Hyper V?
I am currently running SBS 2011 that is natively installed on a Dell PowerEdge server. The plan is to add some RAM and then convert the system to a Hyper-V server that would run the SBS operating system as a VM. From a licensing standpoint, I realize I will need to purchase a copy of Server 2012 R2 Standard in order to run Hyper-V on the server. I believe I would also be licensed to run the SBS operating system as one of the two licensed VMs.
My question is what is the requirement as far as user CALs is concerned? Seeing as my users will continue to access the SBS server, they will never access the Server 2012 box directly. The only purpose for Server 2012 is to provide the Hyper-V host. So am I bound by the user licensing of the SBS server, or am I required to also purchase user CALs for the Server 2012 platform?
Thanks for any insight on this question...
We've inherited a client with existing hyper-v VM's, one of which is their remote desktop server running server 2012 - this particular VM has 256MB of graphics memory and they run CAD software on it.
Does anyone have any idea how the previous tech managed this? RemoteFX is not enabled, nor is dynamic memory and I've found no way to change or reproduce this, any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

I have a Host server running 2012 R2 with a Fusion IO SX300 PCIe accelerator. Its default sector format is 512. I am wondering if I should use 4k sector size instead? Fusion and HP have not been very helpful.
The guests will be a mix of 2012 R2 (VHDX) and 2008 r2 (VHD).
Hello;
I am new to conversion so bare with me.
currently we have VMware ServerVersion 2.0.1 Build 156745 on win2008 SBS and we are upgrading to 2012 R2 and Hyper-V
I read that I could use MVMC to conver VMware to hyper-V.
downloaded it and installed it on the 2012 machine, but when I run it, the wizard gets as far as the source step (specifying the source) and fails in the credentials.
is this not compatible with this version of Vmware??
Hi,
I've win 2012 std with hyperv role on it.
i've setup a virtual machine with 1 IDE disk and 1 SCSI disk all VHD on local disk.
when i monitor the server with veeam one it report that the Virtual Storage Error Count in large (9) on the SCSI driver even if this drive is not loaded at all.
why is that?
Hello there,
I recently went through the 410, 411, and 412 classes, have passed the 410 exam, and am now looking forward to reproducing the lab environment I had in the MS Certified training boot camp I attended. With the class behind me, I have the SkillPipe books, but not the Hyper-V environment to work through the labs associated with these courses.
The SkillPipe books give some hints as to how things are configured, and I have some good notes on the lab configuration which has taken me a fair way to being able to reproduce the Hyper-V VM configuration, but there are certainly gaps.
How does one go about properly building\configuring the environment used in these labs so that the labs may be practiced over and over again ? Are there no PowerShell scripts to accomplish this ? Is MS unwilling to share these lab environments, or is it just that it's a romp through the labyrinth to get to the treasure ?
My last serious study with MS networking was my MCSE training and testing in NT4.0. Now that MS has finally got REAL product, are they still going to dangle the carrot just out reach like this ? I find it hard to believe, especially with Technet Virtual Labs.
Am I missing the obvious ? or is it just not there ?
Thanks,
Glennzone
