WS2012 HV host, WS2012R2 guest. Have installed KB3161609 v2, including its new VMGUEST.ISO.
I can install the new ICs on the 2012 guests, but on 2012R2, I get "This computer is already running the current version of integration services (version 6.3.9600.16384)."
Am I supposed to upgrade the IC on 2012R2 guests of a 2012 host? If so, how?
TIA
When I connect to my VM and select Insert Integration Services Setup Disk from the Action menu, nothing happens. Should this be on my my Windows Server 2008 R2 DVD that I used to set yp Hyper-V and my two VMs?
Thanks
Hi,
When I try to start emulator the start task fails, with message like below.
10.08.2015 14:06:01: [Critical] Unable to add user to the Hyper-V Administrators group. Exit code 2220.
I was using it on Windows 8.1 where it worked well on the same PC. This proves that my PC meets all requirements and it is properly configured. After clean install of Windows 10 emulator doesn't work.
Hyper-V on my PC is running well. I can create and run 32 and 64 bit vm's. There is problem with creating android vm's by vs emulator. There is no group "Hyper-V Administrators" and it can't be created.
Tried these solutions:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/virtual_pc_guy/archive/2010/09/28/creating-a-hyper-v-administrators-local-group-through-powershell.aspx
also i tried to recreate InitialStore.xml for Hyper-V with needed group and operations but without success. It seems that hyper-v bundled with windows 10 doesn't require any special group to run, create, manage and remove vm's, switches, etc. Emulator thinks different and it can't assign me to group which does not exists.
Hi
I have a Windows 2012 R2 Std Server running Hyper V. I have 2 VM guests running windows 2012 Std R2. Since last week Windows backup on the Host was failing and the VM Guest was hanging. As of yesterday the VM guests Hangs intermittently or always on reboot. The VM Manager shows the guest state as "Stopping- Critical" and the only way to bring the VN Guest back up is to reboot the current Host server.
We have reinstalled Hyper-V on the host and it still does the same. The Host has been updated using windows update, still the same.

We have server A and B configured as replica servers. We have enabled replication for one of the VM (VM1) with recovery point option “only the latest point for recovery”
Please clarify the below points.
I have a host that has a VM with a single snapshot that has been running for a few months and the disk is running out of space. The largest avhd is over 500GB, but would be merged into a fixed VHD. I assume in this case no additional space is required to merge it in, as the fixed disk won't grow, is that correct?
That fixed disk is the second VHD for this VM, the first VHD is a dynamic disk, but I'm trying to determine how much space I realistically need for it to merge. Inside the VM the C: (first VHD) has a total capacity of 400GB, with about 50GB free, and the VHD for this is 400GB, with a 280GB AVHD. My guess is most of the 280GB are changes and not new data, as that would grow the VHD to around 680GB, and the C: inside the VM as I said is showing 400GB.
I ask for clarification on this as I can free up around 240GB on this drive, and if the merge for the fixed disk won't require any additional space, then I would expect the dynamic disk merge to possibly complete successfully with the remaining 240GB I'd have.
Does all of that sound reasonable? I also have a new host that I could copy/merge/etc. all of this on. Just trying to find the shortest path to a reliable solution.
I am building a new Core server for a customer and their new server has come with 8nics
4 broadcom nics (embedded) & 4 Intel nics (additional card)
i have not had so many nics in one server at most its been 2, what is the best way to setup the virtual network.
the core is on a 120gb SSD mirror which 1.2tb storage pool mirror with x2 200gb SSD cache drives
the VM's that will be setup are
DC
EXCH
SQL
RDS
whats the best way to setup the network. as i said at the top of the post only ever had the luxury of 2 nics
thanks

Dear Server Expert,
My old physical server is running Windows Server 2008 R2 and act as the hypervisor and there are 3 Hyper V VMs inside which is running as Lync Server. Currently, the old server is not really stable and I would like those VM to another new server.
What is the proper procedure of transferring VMs to another server?
Thanks
Appreciate your help
'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.
Regards
Hello all,
I'm having a specific issue where I shut down my virtual machine (from within its OS) in a Hyper-V / Fail Over Cluster environment and then regardless of how long I wait When I power on my machine it shows the Boot Manager Screen.
What's going on ?
My event logs say that the success was true for <g class="gr_ gr_401 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_run_anim Grammar only-ins doubleReplace replaceWithoutSep" data-gr-id="401" id="401">shutdown</g>.
I would appreciate any insight. None of the other <g class="gr_ gr_442 gr-alert gr_spell gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace" data-gr-id="442" id="442">vm's</g> are doing it.
Thank You All,
Jerry
Hello
I have Hyperv machine where we added couple of VM windows base. From HyperV host we set ipv4 forwarding in registry. Everything is working fine between Host and VMs, but once we enable Windows firewall in VM machine then VM no longer access from outside network.
We have Bypass all port against IP addresses using by VM for inbound and outbound in HyperV host, but are unable to locate why VM stop responding from outside network.
Note: Firewall is enabled on HyperV host and this machine is working fine.
I inherited a network and the Hyper-V Replication server seemed to have stopped working correctly a month before I arrived, probably due to a lack of hard drive space. I've been resolving this over the last week, with half the machines on the existing server and half on another one.
Having removed replication and deleted the VHDs on the existing replica server, for some of the machines, enabling replication onto it has been no problem at all. However, for a few of them, i've been recieving the following message (which is also present in event viewer under Windows Logs/Applications and Services/Microsoft/Hyper-V-VMMS as error 32000).
Enabling Replication Failed
Hyper-V failed to enable replication.
Hyper-V failed to enable replication for virtual machine "Servername": The name in the end tag of the element must match the element type in the start tag. (0xC00CEE3B). (Virtual machine ID C70CD786-B8FA-445D-BD14-4115E01C80A1)
Which appears to be some form of XML error? Have tried removing undo logs for said servers too but it makes no difference. Any ideas or help would be much appreciated.
Hi

One of my hyper-v host (win 2012) is unresponsive (unable to login locally, RDP, remote computer management).
But all the guest OS inside host are just working fine. I had to reboot the host to resolve this problem and unable to find any error message in the event viewer too. And now it hang for the second time after just a few days I rebooted the host.
Your response is appreciated. Thanks!
