I have created a bare metal guest OS, restored a windows server 2012R2 image on the VHDX. However so far i haven't successfully able to make my guest VM make use of that VHDX. I did go through various forums but i am missing some thing which i need help. I want my guest VM to use the OS that i restored. If someone can share the exact bcdedit commands that would be great. Thanks

Blue stop on a VM running Windows 2003 R2
We have a FTP server running on Windows 2000. We try to upgrade this FTP server to Windows 2008. We have converted the Windows 2000 server from a physical server to a VM on Windows 2008 R2 hyper-v successfully. After we upgraded windows 2000 VM to Windows 2003 R2, we get blue stop 0000007B when booting. I have searched for the resolution. Most suggests are related to change the hardware. Any ideas how we fix this issue on a VM?

HYPER-V Cluster W2012R2 Can't delete VHDX on CSV
'm working on a Windows 2012 R2 Hyper-v. I've just done an EXPORT of a Virtual Machine to a CSV Volume to import later.
But I hanve't performed the import, and when I went to delete the exported folder I've got an access denied error of the VHDX file.
How can I identify which is the process that locks this file and delete it? There no is any Virtual Machine with this file attached on it.
I've restarted the "Hyper-V Virtual management server" service without success.
This is not a permission problem because I've also tried to take ownership to reset permissions, but I'm also getting an 'access denied error'. Also with CACLS command.

Hello,
We have a virtual switch setup in the Virtual Switch Manager and the adapter has been deleted by mistake using the "Change Adapter Settings..." of the Network And Sharing Center. Now, obiviously the switch is in a failed state and we just want to

Losing Access to Cluster Shared Volumes: Cluster Shared Volume 'Volume1' ('CSV Disk1') has entered a paused state because of '(c0000435)'
Hi,
Just built a Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V failover cluster connected to Equallogic 4110 storage arrays with latest firmware and HIT kits.
When creating a clone or vm from a template we see that the cluster loses access to the storage csv volume that is hosted on the equallogic storage with the following errors:
Cluster Shared Volume 'Volume1' ('CSV Disk1') has entered a paused state because of '(c0000435)'. All I/O will temporarily be queued until a path to the volume is reestablished.
Can anyone shed any light onto this issue?

High CPU on Hyper-V VM
Any clues as to the cause of constant, high CPU usage on a Hyper-V VM?
We have a 2012 R2 Host with 3 VM's running. The one in question is our main file server which also hosts our Anti-Virus Suite, Symantec Endpoint Protection Small Business Edition.
I've had this happen two Friday in two weeks. Both times, we had a PENDING Windows Update. (pending as in it lets me know there is an update to be downloaded but it does not download it for me until I do so myself)
The Services that grab the high CPU are...
SYSTEM
TASK MANAGER
Service Host Local System (Network Restricted) (8)
And under that are:
Distributed Link Tracking Client
Hyper-V Data Exchange Service
Hyper-V Guest Shutdown Service
Hyper-V Volume Shadow Copy Requestor
Network Connections
Remote Desktop Services User Port Redirector
Smart Card Device Enumeration Service3
User Access Logging Service
However, it is usually SYSTEM that grabs most of it...
Our Hyper-V system has run almost perfectly since went live late last March. The only common occurance was the notice that Windows Updates were available.
I have also given good thought to move our Anti-Virus suite to another VM on our second Hyper-V host. But since it really has had no problems until now, not sure if that is the fix.
There is no viruses or spyware on the file server. Nothing in the logs on both the VM or host that indicate any problems.
My goal is to prevent this from happening again as both times required production time reboots and the dang VM too forever to shutdown. It was THAT slow.
Any clues? It currently has 8GB of RAM and 2 virtual processors thrown at it.

sysprep VM
quick question...
usually when I sysprep a VM I keep a generalize VHDX of this VM for further use.
Then I attach this VHDX to a new VM.
Would it be the same if I will export Generalized VM. And will use it for new machine creation?
I guess yes...

Best practices for performance on io and storage.
I'm building / buying a new server was planning on going virtual.
Dual xeon 2620 v3 with 64 GB ram we have about 15 users and 14 remote users.
Main server 2008 / 2012 SQL
2nd Server 2008 / 2012 File storage
3rd Server / Terminal Services / Citrix (may not be needed still evaluating)
Here is my concern.
HyperV server installed on a mirror dive 120 GB SAS Raid 0 (i've been informed that this is unnecessary as hyper V doesn't require much space and that having it on an SSD would only improve on the boot up speed for the actual hyper V server, hypervisor, there fore even if I put this on a slow 5400 RPM drive this would only affect the initial boot up of hyperV (which I don't' plan on rebooting often) is this true, would the page file be an issue?
I was then planning on having 600 sas 15K (x4) raid 10, I would use this for the datastores of the 3 server on these drives.
I've been informed that the I/O on these drives will affect performance and that each server should be on it's own separate physical drives (raid volume).
Is this common? Should I be using separate HD's for each virtual machine?

Current version of integration services on Hyper V host and ugrading versions on VM's
Greetings!
I am looking for where the latest version number of integration services is posted, so I may verify what it should be. I am able to query using powershell the vm's on the hosts and get a return of the current version installed. However, I seem to be unable to find out the current version of IS on the hosts themselves. How do I get this information?

How Do I Live Migrate VM Between Clusters?
Running HyperV 2012 R2 fully patched.
I have HyperV clusters set up at two different locations, Cluster A and Cluster B.
I can live migrate VMs from node to node withing a cluster, but I would like to migrate a VM from a node on one cluster to a node on the other. In other words, I would like to live migrate a VM from Cluster A to Cluster B.
When I go into Failover Cluster Manager and select the VM I want to move, it only gives me target nodes on the same cluster.
How do I get nodes from the other cluster to show up as targets?
I have found surprisingly little information on the Google. Most of it is about live migration within a cluster (or VMWare). Not as much on migration between HyperV clusters.
Any pointers are appreciated.
Thank you.

Can not connect to Hyper-V host in virtualized environment
Hello,
I'm just trying to evaluate/test Hyper-V 2012 R2 server. Here is my environment
Win 7 installed on metal (no firewall) - 192.168.98.38, running VMWare Workstation
Win 8 running in VMWare (192.168.98.111)
I installed Hyper-V as a virtual machine in VMWare. No issues, running and I can access options, see IP (192.168.98.51)
Enabled Hyper-V Manager inside Win 8. I can ping Hyper-V host from my Win8 vm (enabled pinding), I can see all 3 machines on my router. They all running.
However, when I try to connect or remote desktop to 192.168.98.51 - it doesn't let me. It says "Network name can not be resolved... etc."
Inside Hyper-V I have both remote management and desktop enabled.

Hyper-V 2012 SD Card Supported configuration
I have been looking on-line but struggling to find a definitive answer to the question, does Microsoft fully support Hyper-V 2012 running on an SD card setup?
I work predominately with VMware for virtualization projects and regularly deploy the hyper-visor to a redundant set of SD cards. I would like to do the same with Hyper-V 2012 R2 but only if it s a fully supported configuration.
Any advice or direction to resources with best practices on this topic is appreciated.

Stop error 0x133 and hotfix 2877237
Hello!
Hope you can help me. I have two servers in a cluster, OS is MS Hyper-v 2012 (free edition). Few days ago both nodes started to fall down with BSOD. Memory dump analyze shows the following information:
DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION (133) The DPC watchdog detected a prolonged run time at an IRQL of DISPATCH_LEVELor above. Arguments: Arg1: 0000000000000001, The system cumulatively spent an extended period of time at DISPATCH_LEVEL or above. The offending component can usually be identified with a stack trace.

I'v found a hotfix KB2877237, but i cannot install it, during an installation i received a message, that update isnot applicable to my computer.
I've done as said in article (http://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2877237/en-us#appliesto) - create a registry subkey, reboote server and then try to install update.
I wonder, how can i install this fix?

Hyper-V guest OS, keyboard does not work from console
Brief background:
I'm doing some lab environment testing with Storagecraft Shadowprotect backup for a client. We are backing up Hyper-V guest operating systems. For busines continuity, the backups can be spun up to Oracle VirtualBox VMs in the event of disaster, but the backups can also be restored via their Headstart Restore tool to a VHD or VHDX. Right now, I'm using a Windows 7 x64 VM for the test backup.
Here is my current problem (for the moment, forget about the Storagecraft part). Once the VM is restored, I've lost access to the keyboard via Hyper-V console (the mouse does work, this allowed me to run the on-screen keyboard so I could see what was going on, and then test via RDP). I can RDP to the VM and use the keyboard and mouse. I have a few unknown devices in the Device Manager that weren't there before. The processor also has a"splat" (yellow triangle, exclamation point).
At this point, I don't want to troubleshoot the "why" (that will be another step), but I do wish to find out how to reinstall the necessary drivers to get the system working. I tried reinstalling the Hyper-V Integration Services, but the VM says they are already installed. These can't be uninstalled via Control Panel. I've tried mounting the Hyper-V Integration Services and doing a right-click "Repair" using the msi in the Support folder (both the x86 and the amd64); when I do this, it reports that the action is only valid for products that are currently installed. The same happens for an uninstall.
Does anyone have any ideas how I can get keyboard support back?
Everyone gets everything he wants. Me, I wanted to be a sysadmin. And for my sins --they made me one.

Hyper-V replica vs Shared Nothing Live Migration
Shared Nothing Live Migration allows to transport your VM over the WAN without shutting it down (how much time it takes on io intensive vm is another story)
Hyper-V replica does not allow to perform the DR switch without shutdown operation on primary site VM !
why can't it take the VM live to the DR ?
that's because if we use Shared Nothing across the WAN, we don't use the data that Hyper-V replica can and then it also breaks everything hyper-V replica does.
Point is: how to take the VM to DR in running state, what is the best way to do that ?
