Greetings.
Basically
making a copy of this thread from another resource, but "when I run the setup wizard after "Making Sure you are ready to install" screen the next screen is empty" (c) Mayank
Did anyone else have the same problem? What's the workaround to this issue? I can't afford complete reinstalling here, since I work remotely.

I have 2 windows 2012 servers in a cluster, and the Quorum Disk (1GB) is about to run out of space. I read that when it does used up all the space, the cluster service will stop working. Currently all the spaces in the server are assigned to other virtual disks, so there is no room for me to create a new VD and move the Quorum to.
Can quorum be moved to the same space as the Cluster Shared Volume? Or is there anyway to safely trim the size of the quorum to reduce it's size? Thank you.

We have a shop with a domain controller that is down because the server has no warranty. What I would like to do is install Hyper V on a data server with Windows server 2008 r2 and install a new VM with windows server 2012 r2. I would like to then promote
that vm to be a domain controller.
Since I am new to hyper v, if I have to restart the physical data server, I will shutdown the Hyper Visor VM then reboot the server. When the server comes back online, I would like it to auto start the VM saving us from having to log into the server and
manually turn it on.
Is this possible?
I've been playing around with using virtual machines recently and am trying out Hyper-V as the native virtual manager in windows. Is there any way to make the full screen mode actually be full screen instead of just a big black border around the window?
Hello folks,
I have one stand alone Hyper-V host with two NICs. NIC1 I use for management and connecting to it via RDP (untagged VLAN1). NIC2 I want to use for VMs on multiple VLANs. I followed these steps so far, but VM is not getting an IP from my DHCP server on VLAN1 that I've specified.
Any comments or help? :)
My steps so far:
1. Configure Cisco 2960G switchport connected to NIC2 for trunk and vlans.
interface GigabitEthernet0/11
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk allowed vlan 1-4
2. Configure Virtual switch on Hyper-V host. I did not check Allow management, because I am using NIC1 for that.
3. Configure VM NIC and assign VLAN ID, in this case VLAN 1 for a test.
4. Does not get an IP from the DHCP server. I also tried a static IP, unable to communicate, so I know something is wrong.
This is the complete output:
PS C:\Windows\system32> Remove-VMSwitch "Windows Phone Emulator Internal Switch" -force Remove-VMSwitch : Failed while removing virtual Ethernet switch.

Hi,
I am looking at deploying SCVMM 2016 for a customer and the VMM Management server has to run on Windows Server 2016.
The VMM server will be deployed as a virtual machine on a 2012R2 Hyper-V host but I can't see anywhere if this is definitely supported.
Supported guest Operating Systems on the Hyper-V 2012R2 page shows 2016 Technical Preview but not the released version - I'm guessing they have not updated the page since 2016's GA release but does anyone know for sure?

Thanks!
I have server 2012 R2 Datacenter running with several HyperV hosts on it. The Intel Nic Drivers are 2012R2 out of the box drivers. I am setting up a monitoring VM to capture packets following these instructions. (I am also replicating the traffic on my Switch to the port the NIC for the Virtual Switch is connected to that I configured as the Mirror from the instructions.)
When I enable the Microsoft NDIS Capture Extension on the Virtual Switch I want capture the traffic on, I get the message:
"The Selected Extension is not operating correctly. Check the event logs for further information. If this is a non-Microsoft Extention, contact the vendor for further troubleshooting steps."
I looked in the event logs and cannot find any errors in Application or System. I even turned on the show analytic and debug logs option and dug into the:
Applications and Services Logs ---> Microsoft --> Windows --> NDIS/NDIS-PacketCapture logs and didn't see any errors.
I cannot figure out why I am getting this error. Does anyone know where else to look or why this error is coming up and how to fix it? Again these are out of the box drivers and the Microsoft NDIS Capture Extension.
Thanks

When taking VSS snapshot with Hyper-V VSS writer on Windows 2012 R2, there are frequently some warning/error logs in Windows Event log. This will make the Hyper-V VSS writer goes to a bad state and in BCD, the BACKUP_METADATA is also missing for the problematic VM.
The logs in Windows Event log are as below:
In Windows Log->Application, there will be logs as:
A VSS writer has rejected an event with error 0x800423f4, The writer experienced a non-transient error. If the backup process is retried,
the error is likely to reoccur.
. Changes that the writer made to the writer components while handling the event will not be available to the requester. Check the event log for related events from the application hosting the VSS writer.

The problematic VMs are with Windows OS, Windows 2008R2, Windows 2012 R2 and Windows 8.1.
My question is:
What is the cause of this problem? The event logs are not understandable at all.
How should I fix this problem?
Hi,
We have an Hyper-V infrastructure which is composed of 6 nodes running on Windows 2012 R2 (HP servers with the same materials). 4 "Cluster Shared Volume" have been created, together with a Quorum.
When we assign a CSV to another node, we have no problem, except with the node n°5. In this case, when a CSV is assigned to node n°5, only the node n°5 can see the content of the volume in the Windows Explorer. The other nodes cannot.
From the other nodes, we have this error message :
"C:\ClusterStorage\VolumeXXX is not accessible. Logon failure : the user has not been granted the requested logon at this computer".
We also note that the size of the assigned volume doesn't appear on the other nodes in the Windows Explorer.
What is amazing is that we encountered no issues with the virtual machines.
I have read many forum on the Net. Talking about SMB which could be disabled, but like the storage is connected by Fibre Channel, it doesn't seem to apply to us. Furthermore, the components "Clients for Microsoft Network" and "File and Print Sharing..." are enabled on the network cards dedicated to the cluster.
One last information. The node n°5 has been reinstalled from a Sysprep image, but the problem is still there.
Can you help us ?
Best regards.

my hosts are 2008R2 so the VMs running on the server have integration tools of the same version.. VMs are 2008/2012/ 2012R2... i want to upgrade the integration tools to the latest version like 2012 R2 .. can i do this .. hope this is possible and wont crash my work loads like exchange and PDC.
can you guys please help and guide me to the right link/ KB
Thanks, Happiness Always

We have Windows 2012 R2 Hyper-V server and installed DPM 2012 R2 VM on Hyper-V host. Need to add more storage on DPM server for backups and got Netgear ReadyNAS 2120v2 NAS stoarge and created iSCSI LUN on NAS storage.
However i am not sure how to add iSCSI LUN (created on NAS) to Hyper-V host or DPM server. Would you please direct me any resource with instructions to add NAS iSCSI LUN onto Hyper-V host and configure DPM server to use storage?
Thanks in advance for your help.

When using Hyper-V Server 2012 R2 (Server Core) I was able to use the following command to encrypt the boot drive (C:) -
manage-bde -on C: -rp
The motherboards I've been using have a TPM 2.0 installed. With Server 2012 R2 I was able to encrypt the C: drive with either a BIOS or UEFI configuration.
But now with Hyper-V Server 2016 (Server Core) I get the following error message when I try to use the same command to encrypt the boot drive (C:) -
C:\>manage-bde -on C: -rp
BitLocker Drive Encryption: Configuration Tool version 10.0.14393
Copyright (C) 2013 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
Volume C: []
[OS Volume]
ERROR: Specifying the parameter '-StartupKey' or '-Password' is required to BitLocker-protect the OS volume.
Type "manage-bde -on -?" for more information.
NOTE: If the -on switch has failed to add key protectors or start encryption,
you may need to call "manage-bde -off" before attempting -on again.
With Hyper-V 2016 the motherboard is configured for UEFI and Secure Boot and I used MSINFO32 to confirm both are on as expected.
I have a single RAID10 drive that has a logical C: (Boot) and D: (Data) drive on it. With Hyper-V Server 2012 R2 the C: drive only needed the TPM to be encrypted and for the D: drive I entered the following commands which allowed it to be automatically unencrypted via the C: drive.
manage-bde –on d: -pw (entered password - which I believe was stored on the encrypted C: drive?)
manage-bde –autounlock –enable d:
The motherboard configuration was setup to automatically reboot if there was a power outage.
With the Sever 2016 limitation it looks like I cannot use the TPM alone to encrypt the boot drive? I'd have to use a method like one of those below to encrypt the boot drive and automatically reboot after a power outage?
a) I could either add a 3rd logical drive (for example X:) to my RAID10 drive and use that to store the recovery key for the C: drive. Or I could leave a USB drive plugged in at all times and it would also contain the recovery key to allow the C: drive to boot.
But in both cases it seems I would be leaving something potentially exposed in an unencrypted location that a hacker could potentially exploit (given both the X: or USB drives would be unencrypted)?
b) I could use the -TPMAndPIN, -TPMAndStartupKey, or -TPMAndPINAndStartupKey options to encrypt the C: drive. But that would require me to manually enter in some additional information in order to allow the Hyper-V Server 2016 to reboot (which would be a nuisance).
With Hyper-V Server 2016 is there some way to encrypt the boot drive (C:) with the TPM alone such that these type of issues (a and b above) aren't a problem? Or am I overlooking something in how this can be done on Hyper-V Server 2016?
Thanks for any insight you can provide.
P.S. I saw there was an option (-sid) that looked like it might depend upon something in an AD domain to allow the C: drive to be encrypted/unencrypted. But I just have a small home office network and don't have that type of sophisticated environment.

I have a physical host with 4 teamed NICs. The NIC team is assigned one VLAN ID via Server Manager in Server 2012R2. I installed Hyper-V and spun up a VM and assigned a separate VLAN in Hyper-V to that VM. I created the virtrual switch and pointed the external virtual switch to the 'Microsoft multiplex driver' which I thought was the NIC team on the host. The physical switch ports are trunked ports so they should allow traffic to the physical VLAN and the virtual VLAN.
My question is...is it possible to use the teamed NIC for network connectivity for the virtual machines? The teamed NIC is assiged 'VLAN A' while the VM's are assigned 'VLAN B' in Hyper-V, but the virtual switch should be using the teamed NIC.
If that is not possible, I am assuming I will team three NICS and use them for the 'virtuals VLAN' and use one NIC for the host.
It would be great if the teamed NIC with all four NICS teamed could be used for host connectivity via one VLAN and VM connectivity via another VLAN assigned through Hyper-V. Hope this makes sense.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi!
I've been using VMware in the past, but I'm currently setting up a 2016 std server, where I'd like Hyper-V 2016 to run on a USB stick. I've heard that this is a good idea, especially when you're trying to preserve disk space.
2012 R2 has a write-up on how to install Hyper-V to a USB memory stick, how about 2016?
Is it still a good practice?
Which USB drives are recommended? The ones listed from the 2012 R2 article are not available anymore.
Regarding licensing, if I install Hyper-V 2016 on a USB stick, does the Standard license allow me two instances of Server 2016 to run on that hypervisor?
