Running Windows 2012 R2 Datacenter, with Hyper-V role installed, domain joined, domain account is both a local admin and a hyper-v admin.

If I try to create a new virtual machine (either via UI, or powershell) I get the following error:

The Hyper-V Virtual Machine Management service encountered an unexpected error: This user isn't allowed to sign in to
this computer. (0x80070531).

This seems very odd to me since I'm not doing this remotely. Does anyone have any clues as to what is going on? (as a google/bing/duckduckgo search didn't return anything valid). 

I've tried removing and reinstalling the Hyper-V Role (with required reboots), but the error persists.

Hello!

In my laptop with Windows 8.1 Prof. I'm trying to create Internal switch and receive following error:

"Failed while creating virtual Ethernet switch.

Switch create failed, name ='<GUID>', friendly name = 'New Virtual Switch'^ There is no driver selected for the device information set or element (0x800F0203)."

Some time ago (maybe before 8.1 update, not sure) I successfully created external switch and it works well.

Please, help me to resolve the issue. Thanks

I have a server with 10 VLANs and configured as TAGGED some of them.

I have created a Hyper-V machine with the intent of testing various OSes, but I've run into a bit of a snag.  I am able to use command prompt to ping and perform nslookup.  Both of these services work.  I am UNable to access the internet with a browser, however.  This also includes Windows Update.  They simply time out.  I have tried both with a dynamic IP from my router, a static assigned by router with automatic config within the VM and static assigned via the router with static setup via adapter properties.  I have also tried recreating the virtual switch, and reinstalling the guest OS.  My question is, what is causing the problem, and how do I go about fixing it?

Hi,

I started to carry out a NIC Firmware upgrade on one node of a Hyper-V 2012 R2 Cluster but was warned that a TPM chip was detected, etc.

I can see the option to Suspend Bitlocker on the C:\ drive but couldn't see a similar option for the CSV drives. Do I have to suspend it for the CSV drives or just the C:\ before continuing with the firmware update?

Cheers for now

So I have not been able to find any clear documentation on setting up dynamic routing for a Direct Routing mode Windows Server 2012 R2 NV Gateway. My setup is as follows; for the small network that I am operating I am implementing Network Virtualization for some of the subnets on the network. We have one gateway server and one VM that is going to be directly routing directly to the rest of the network; i.e. subnet 10.0.6.0/24 that is virtualized is going to directly route through the gateway with no NAT enabled or utilized to any of the other subnets in used throughout the network (the gateway is essentially just a router). However everything that I am seeing thus far for configuring dynamic routing relates to routing tenants through the gateways and not simply implementing dynamic routing so that I don't have to go and make static entries throughout the rest of the routing for the network to make the routing function correctly. Anyone got any good resources, information or articles that would be able to fill in the blanks on this topic?

Thanks for the help everyone!

Hello, 

For some reason, my w2k12r2 server kept on getting this weird VSS error. 

Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Unexpected error calling routine CLSIDFromString({00000001-0000-0000-0001-000000000001}).  hr = 0x80070002, The system cannot find the file specified.

When I click on the volume, it took me to my CSV volume.  My backup using Veeam for Hyper-v vm would fail. 

I did vssadmin to list writers, there were no errors.   I tried to use Windows server backup to backup my VMs, and it would also fail as well.  Any thoughts ?

How to fail over from replica server where the replication has been removed?

We had 2 physical servers and both running Windows 2012 R2 Server Standard.

We implemented the cross replication method between this 2 servers with NO SAN/NAS at all in between purely just disk on servers which the capacity can handle both servers. 

Our servers as follow (as example):

• Physical01 server has VM01 and VM03
• Physical02 server has VM02 and VM04
  

This method of replication has been running for almost a year and it's been running ok.

This morning we had this situation where there is an electricty outage and set the shutdown/restart. We found that none of the VMs can't be restarted - something to do with VM state issue. After doing troubleshooting we end up kill of the replications instead.

End up running as follow:

• Physical01 server has VM03
• Physical02 server has VM01 (no replication has been setup as yet), VM02 and VM04

Due to all servers except VM01 are not considering a lot of update we managed to use original ones and delete the replication ones, now we are having a dilemma where VM01 (file server) are running on Physical02 as a replica at the moment and there is a data/file has been changed SO what is the best way to handle this issue?

(1) We are thinking to Enable Replication on VM01 on Physical02 and delete VM01 on the Physical01 and run the replication. It means the data will replicate again to Physical01. Once the data has been replicated ... we could do remove the REPLICATION again and then shutdown the VM01 and move data from \Replica Targets\ to \Virtual Machines and then change the path for Virtual Hard Disk in VM for Harddrive 

... OR ...

(2) We do the latest VM backup of VM01 in Physical02 and restore under Physical01 

What do you think? The first approach is good but NOT cleaner as such due the folder structure are messier. We had folders called \VirtualMachines (for virtual machines) and \ReplicaTargets (for VM replicata). Second approach not sure how long this will be because it's involved backup and restore.

Waiting for your input.

I have VMs running on Hyper-V 2008R2 in cluster. One VM is running Win2008R2 with two VHD's attached. One of them is a file share only that I need to move to another VM running Win2012R2. If I move that VHD over to the new VM will it also move the NTFS rights/share permissions? It's very large so I really don't want to copy from one VM to another.

Hi,

We would like to get info or Microsoft recommendation about hyper-v update. How often is best practice to update because we need to manually turn off VM's (for security reasons and to avoid problems) and reboot hyper-v and that costs our clients a lot. We are updating our servers through Kaseya and we cannot reboot Hyper-V servers every week because of one update (sometimes). 

Hope that someone can share with me best practice or what we can do?

Best regards/Jimmy

Good day

I have a few small issues with my 2012R2 replication. First off the replication works and I can replicate any of my 250 production VMs from our production to our DR cluster in another datacenter. My questions are:

When I configure a new VM to replicate, under the specify connection parameters screen, my server port defaults to 443 and the radio button goes to HTTPS even though the settings for the replicabroker I selected are port 80 and Kerberos (http) which I've verified a number of times. Where is it getting the settings on this screen from? Because of this I get the "Could not get configuration details of specified server" message and I have to change it every time I configure a VMs replication.

The end result of this is that my VM replication will work but after the wizard completes, along with the "Replication has successfully been created on the replicabroker", I also get a message saying that the VMs network adapters are not connected. I now have to manually select my production network settings for every VM I replicate.

This is only a minor thing but I would like to fix it if possible. I suspect it has to do with the fact that my replication settings get incorrect default values from somewhere. Any ideas where from?

I have been trying to upgrade our windows server 2012 installation that is running hyper-v, but have a problem with the physical nic. The issue is that upon finalising the upgrade, WinSer2012R2 presents a BSOD (IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL) and the only hardware device I cannot remove prior to the upgrade is the NIC so I assume this is giving me the grief.

I have tried to remove the NIC driver, but Hyper-V depends on it (all vPcs depend on it as well as a logical switch).

How can I remove the physical NIC? Is my only option to reconfigure all vPcs to have no NIC and delete the logical switches? This is a lot of work to reconfigure and error prone as well.

I would have checked log files for the boot, but for some reason, WinSer2012R2 does not create any log entries or memory dumps for me to look at. So all I have is the above mentioned BSOD hint.

Suggestions?

Hi All,

I have a below use case:

1. created a VM with 1 vhd and 1 VHDX disk on HyperV2012 R2 hypervisor.

2. created 1 bootable iso which contains vmlinuz & initrd file from Oracle enterprise linux 6.4 media.

3. mount created media on VM and booted this VM using CD boot option.

4. when machine boots ata_piix controller gets loaded at initrd stage. but while unloading the ata_piix, it crashes and generate the call trace.

5. when there is only single disk attached to VM loading and unloading of ata_piix controller happens successfully, without any problem.(note: disks are running on IDE controller).

6. one more strange thing is: when I add one more virtual processor i.e. if two virtuall processors are present in VM then ata_piix gets uunloaded successfully, without any crash. but if single processor is there then if one disk is attached. ata_piix gets unloaded successfully but if more than 1 disk is attached to VM, unloading of ata_piix generate crash.

need your help to resolve this issue. Please look into it and do let me know if you need any further info to resolve the same.

Thanks,

indus.

Hi,

Suppose i am having the VM named as VM_XYZ hosted on Hyper-V. I took the backup of .vhd file related to XYZ machine into the external drive and then i created the new VM into the same Hyper-V named asVM_XYZ-NEW with the same configuration and setting, after that i used to attached the .vhd file of  previous (VM_XYZ) vm to new name(VM_XYZ-NEW) vm.

In between i deleted the previous VM (VM_XYZ)from Hyper-V because it does not have it .vhd file.

Now in our environment  DPM (Data Protection Manager ) is responsible to take the backup of all the VM to Tape Library. In Past
we created the Protection Group and added all the machines into it.Previously DPM is taking the backup of  all the virtual machines includingVM_XYZ  smoothly . we added this new VM into VM_XYZ-NEW into that protection group and DPM is taking the backup smoothly.

But i need to change the VM name as its previous one (i.e VM_XYZ), when i m going to do this DPM does not showing my virtual machine  in protection group intoONLINE state, it is showing in OFFLINE state. It too important to change the name of my VM from previous to new one (i.e VM_XYZ-NEW to VM_XYZ).

What will i do to eradicate this issue.??? Please suggest.

Hi,

I would like to check replication status of my HyperV hosts through "get-vmreplication" powershell cmdlet lusing "ComputerName" parameter like this

get-vmreplication -ComputerName HYPERV1

This succeeds on most of my Hyperv hosts, but does not on one particular. This same cmdlet run locally on this host succeds.
The difference between the hosts is OS, on the ones where cmdlet succeeds "Windows Server 2012 Datacenter" is running, on the one failing "Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2012 R2". Is there a reason why get-vmreplication cmdlet would fail remotely on "Hyper-V Server"? Is this officially documented?
