Just as the title said. when I go to start a this vm in hyper-v manager, error "Unnamed VM' could not initialize." occured.
Event ID 3072 and 3040 occured.
ID 3040
'Unnamed VM' could not initialize. (Virtual machine ID 69B6E463-1F54-42FF-A160-C9247BACDF66)
ID 3072
'Unnamed VM' could not read or update the virtual machine configuration because access was denied: General access denied error (0x80070005). Check the security settings on the folder in which the virtual machine is stored. (Virtual machine ID 69B6E463-1F54-42FF-A160-C9247BACDF66)
Can any one help on this?

Hyper-V 2016 failed to enable replication for virtual machine
I'm getting the following error when trying to enable VM replication between two 2016 Hyper-V clusters.
Hyper-V failed to enable replication for virtual machine 'COMPUTERNAME': The request is not supported. (0x80070032). (Virtual machine ID 7EC7A8F2-EC76-41AB-B9BD-B6464DFF81AA)
This also creates an error event in the Microsoft-Windows-Hyper-V-VMMS/Admin log of 32000.
This is a new setup which hasn't had replication enabled before.

Hypver V Cluster
HI,
I have 1 FC storage, 3 servers and want to create 8 VMs. I want to use Hypver V clustering. can anybody guide me about storage allocation (e.g Should i allocated storage to servers and then create VMs on it or any idea) so that in case of a server failure VMs should move to another servers.
let me tell you i dont have VMM. can i manage movement of VMs to best possible server in case of failover.

Guest ethernet bridging not working
Hi, I have the following setup:
Host system:
Windows Server 2008 R2 x64, Hyper-V installed
Guest system:
Windows Server 2008 R2 x64
One virtual NIC
I want to install OpenVPN on the guest system. To do that, OpenVPN creates its own TAP adapter and requires a network bridge to an internet-facing NIC on the machine. This is what my network connections looks like:
The Network Bridge is just between the Hyper-V virtual "LAN Adapter" and the "OpenVPN Adapter". But with the bridge enabled, I have no network connectivity. That is, if I right-click and view "Status" of the bridge, it shows many packets sent, but zero received. After some experimentation, I've found:
- With both LAN and OpenVPN adapters added to the bridge, I have no network connectivity.
- With just the LAN adapter added to the bridge and the OpenVPN adapter disabled, still no network connectivity.
- If I remove the LAN Adapter from the bridge or if I delete the bridge, the LAN Adapter itself then correctly connects and I have network connectivity.
Does anybody have any idea what's going on?

Remote Device Manager for Hyper-V 2016 (Newbie)
hello Server Gurus,
Is there a way to run the Device Manager remotely from my Win10 Client on the Hyper-V 2016 Core host ? The Hyper-V is in a Workgroup and not domained-joined. I read a few conflicting blogs about this feature. If it is not possible are there any alternatives ?
Thank you

Live Migration one Hyper V to another Hyper V
Hello Team,
We have bought some powerful new machines in to the organization and I would like to move one of my virtual machine from old Hyper V (Windows 2012 R2) to new one Hyper V (Windows 2012 R2) within the network.
If so, is there any chance that I can increase the RAM size after the migration?
Request you to guide me in the same.

Two suggestions for additional features/functionality in Hyper-V
Bitlocker for Hyper-V
- Include a virtual TPM (v 2.0) in the Hypervisor
- Create a private key for the vm with the creation of the VM
- Use a vfd as a vault for the key, make the vfd hidden
- Install a ‘secure’ b-drive in the vm config, hidden from the guest os
- List the vfd in the vm config file as loaded in the b-drive
- Use the key to sign the vm config file
- Use the key as the root of the trust chain for the vm’s bitlocker implementation
- Optional, include boot pin/password, etc. on the vfd and/or enable efs on the vfd
To successfully access a copied bitlocked vhd, one would have to copy the entire vm, including the hidden vfd.
To make the vhd mountable on a pm or another vm, use bitlocker-on-the-go instead of regular bitlocker on the vm’s vhd.
This solution is portable at the vm level while preserving security at the file level. Also using a vfd as a vault allows access control to be extended to host level rbac.
USB access for guest OS
Incorporate USB over Ethernet into Hyper-V
- Include a USBoE Server with the Hypervisor
- The USBoE Server creates an Ethernet circuit (via VLAN or PPPoE) per published USB port.
- USBoE Server publishes listing and circuits via selected internal or external network.
- Include the USBoE Client in integration services
- Add a dedicated synthetic network adapter for USBoE in the configuration - if it can be done, with the USBoE client, make it all look like a virtual usb controller to the guest os
- In VM settings, after enabling the USBoE adapter select the network to subscribe to, then select from the available listed circuits the ports to access
- In the VM, the guest OS will then be able to communicate with a connected device.
Between the USBoE Server, USBoE VM Setting, and the USBoE Client the USBoE circuit integrity will be insured and maintained.
Localhost use of published ports can be done via the internal network adapter and an embedded USBoE Client and being able to reserve/exclude published circuits in Hyper-V settings.
Using external network adapters allows the publishing and/or subscription of USB ports on USBoE enabled remote hosts.

Convert vhdx (2012 R2) to vhds (2016) ?
Could not find any info how to convert them. Need to upgrade HV to 2016, so eventually I can use replication of shared disks
Of course with "liitle" vhdx I can do just d-2-d data copy, but with disk of few Tb I simply do not have same space on array to create them one more time & then wait for data copy to happen
Thanks

Drive Letters Change on Migration
I had six VMs on a Windows 2012 R2 Hyper-V server that I migrated to a new Windows2016 Hyper-V server. (No shared storage involved.) Three of the VMs are running Windows 2008 R2 and two of those had their drive letters change after the migration. On each of them, the OS drive didn't change (of course), but the remaining data drives took the next available drive letters (E:, F:) instead of retaining the correct ones, such as L:, S:, I:.
I'm not sure what would cause this and I've never seen it before. The third Windows 2008 R2 VM wasn't affected even though it has non-contiguous drive letters, like the others.
Any explanation for why this might happen? Has anyone else tried migrating VMs from earlier Hyper-V versions to the Windows 2016 version? I'm wondering if it's a bug that has to do with the host version difference.
There is nothing to fix here. Of course I corrected the drive letters then rebooted to solve the issue, but I want to avoid it happening again.
Thanks.

Imported VM shuts down when restarting from VM OS
Hi,
I recently made two VMs. First one I installed from ISO image (Server 2016 eval).
Then I exported the installed and imported it by copy method (Generating new ID)
Now I noticed that when I click the restart button from the imported VMs OS the VM starts stopping the services and it says restarting.... But it shuts it down when it should be starting.
If I go to CMD and enter "shutdown -r -f -t 0" the restart is ok and nothing wrong seems to happen.
On my Win10 Host computer there are error events at the time of supposed reboot.
- These are translated so it may not be exact english versions:
Source Microsoft-Windows-Hyper-V-Worker event id 3502 description is not found...
The event was included the next information:
<VM Name>
<VM ID>
%%2147942402
0x80070002
Wanted message language resource is not found. - Target <VM Name> could not initialized again (Virtual ID: <VM ID>)
No other problems are not seen yet and there is no errors but these in the host event log.

Unable to extend volume of dynamic "D" disc
I recently converted the Data ("D") disk on one of our VMs from VHD to VHDX in order to escape the 2TB limit. All of that went fine and I was able to set the (dynamically expanding) drive in Hyper-V to 4TB and assign it to the VM.
However, when I attempt within the VM (Server 2008R2) to extend the volume using Disk Manager, the option to extend is greyed out, even though the extra 2TB unallocated space is to the right of the D drive. The D drive I wish to extend is configured as Simple/Dynamic.
I have seen 3rd party utilities that claim to be able to do this for around $150-$200, but I'm hoping there is a way to do this from within Windows. I read it can be done by backing up the volume, deleting it and then recreating it, but I'd rather avoid the additional downtime if possible as a lot of users are on this drive all day long.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Hyper-V Network Config with HPE Virtual Connect
Hi,
I am looking at configuring networking for a Hyper-V 2016 environment using HPE Blades with Virtual Connect. Has anyone got any advice on the Virtual Connect config.
Are people just presenting 2 x 10GB nics and using converged networking with vNics or presenting more nics from Virtual Connect and splitting them out into a VM network, Live Migration / Cluster network and management network?
Thanks.

How to delegate specific Hyper-V actions only?
Hi,
If I want my colleagues to be able to manage Hyper-V VMs, I need to add them to the "Hyper-V Administrators" group on the server. I just would like to know if there is a way to add more granularity on those rights?
Some examples:
- Allow people to manage a list of specific VMs, the others VMs will be kept under the "Administrator" (master of the universe) responsibility.
- Give people the privileges to start/stop/manage checkpoints on VMs, but forbid them to delete VMs, modify betwork switches, etc.
Is there a solution? Thanks.

Livemigrate vm from2012 r2 host to 2016 host fails
Hi.
im trying to migrate a vm from a 2012 r2 host to a new 2016 host i get the following error
move-vm : Virtual machine migration operation failed at migration destination.
The virtual machine 'Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard Template Master' is not compatible with physical computer 'XXXXX'.
The operation cannot be performed because the object is not in a valid state.
i tried with the vm offline and it doesnt work anyway.
i tried to disconnect the vm and then it seems to work. the virtual switch is named the same on both hosts.
i tried to use the vm-compare to see if i could get the reason for the incompatibility but it doesnt seeem to work between to different hyperv versions
anyone whe can shread som light into this.

Please? Disk Drives for Test VMs on Workstation
Host OS:
Windows Server 2012 R2
Guest VMs in Learning/Practice Active Directory Domain
- 4 - 6 Windows Server 2012 R2 servers, 2 of which function as domain controllers, one that I use as Routing/NAT server that acts as default gateway to the Internet, and the others run various other roles.
- 2 - 3 Windows clients (Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows 10).
Motherboard:
AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Deneb 3.4GHz Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor
Memory:
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 (PC3 10666) - I've reached memory limit of motherboard with 16GB.
My motherboard has 5 integrated SATA 3 (6Gbps) integrated ports on board.
Optical Device is attached to a Sil Silicon Image 3114 SATA RAID in a PCI slot.
Open slots are PCIe Version 2 x16, x4, and an x2.
My goal is to obtain the best possible performance while running all of the VMs described above simultaneously.
QUESTIONS:
- How many VMs should I place on a single SATA 3 (6Gbps) hard disk drive? My research thus far tells me to put each of the domain controllers on a separate disk and each of the Windows clients on a separate disk. Your thoughts or recommendations?
- Should I even consider placing a VM on a SATA 2 (300Gbps) hard disk drive or replace those hard disks with SATA 3 drives?
- I'm considering adding a 4-Port SATA 6Gbps controller card (PCIe x16) to the system. This would allow me to place each (or almost each) of the VMs on its own disk. Would this result in a noticeable difference compared to running 2 server VMs on the same disk?
- I assume that an external USB 3 disk would crawl. Correct or not?
- Are there any specific considerations that I should be aware of before running Server 2016 on a VM?
I hope I've provided sufficient information to allow you to understand my environment and my questions. I realize this is a hardware-related question but I thought who better to ask than those that work with Hyper-V.
Thanks,
John /configt

Hyper-V 2016 manually controlling installed integration services version
We recently updated our Hyper-V 2012 R2 cluster to Server 2016 which created an issue with our Veeam application-aware backup jobs that utilize VSS through the Hyper-V integration services. Veeam support has requested that we update the version of integration services installed on our VMs from 6.3.9600.x to "one compatible with the current version of Hyper-V".
From what I've read, the integration services (that we used to install from the Action menu within the Hyper-V console) are now updated via Windows Update within the guest:
So...we have run all available Windows Updates for these VMs in question, but they still show Integration Services version 6.3.9600.x?? Does any one know how to manually acquire or force an upgrade to the most current Integration Services version available on Hyper-V 2016?
Side note for anyone who has run into issues determining the Integration Services version within PowerShell on 2016--powershell on the Hyper-V 2016 cluster incorrectly reports IntegrationServicesVersion as 0.0 when the following command is run:
Get-VM | ft Name,IntegrationServicesVersion
To determine the actual version level, we had to run this command remotely from a Hyper-V 2012 R2 server against the 2016 server as follows:
Get-VM -ComputerName "hyperv2016servername" | ft Name,IntegrationServicesVersion
Thanks,
Andrew

Server naming convention
I'm about to start virtualizing our server environment using Hyper-v. Our previous servers were all numbered SERV1, SERV2, etc. Since we will have virtual hosts as well as virtual machines, is there a common or recommended naming convention that anyone
recommends? Does it make more sense for the server names to represent their roles? (EXCHANGE2016, SQLSERVER2012, etc.)?
