Hello,
I have installed Hyper-V 2012R2 in a domain and grand username to the local administrator. I am able to remote into the server but when try to connect via Hyper-V tool I got an error " The operation on computer failed". I have follow hvremote and still unable to access thru Hyper-V tools. I have stuck on this for the last 3 days and run out of options.
Please help.

Hi Server Expert,
I have a Server 2012 Hyper V server that being installed with few VMs. Those VM are using dynamically Expanding virtual HDD.
Take an example from one of the server below:
A VM called "Finance Server". this server virtual HDD has been configured with dynamically expanding virtual hdd. On the hyper v server, we created 500GB partition and this partition is being used to store the virtual hdd of the "Finance Server". I created 3 dynamically expanding VHD as I would like to have 3 partitions on the Finance Server. The three dynamically expanding VHDs are A.vhdx,B.vhdx, and c.vhdx. A.vhdx is 50GB, B.vhdx is 100GB, and C.vhdx is 150GB. each of the dynamic VHD will correspond to the partition in the "Finance Server". So, C partition is using A.vhdx, D partition is using B.vhdx, and E partition is using C.vhdx.
The Problem Encounter:
D partition is out of disk space. in this case, how am I going to expand it? Should I expand the space on the Hyper V server? currently the "Finance Server" is using 500GB of the HDD space. if we increase disk space by 200GB in the Hyper V Server, after extend the 500GB to 700GB, how am I going to use the space that just being increased into the "Finance Server"'s D drive? does it mean that by increasing the Hyper V disk space of 500GB to 700GB, the Finance server will be able to automatically consume the new space of 200GB or I need to login to Finance Server and activate it?
Now, if the finance VM is able to consume the 200GB free space from the server, how should I allocate it to the partition D inside the finance server? does it mean that by increasing the size of D drive by using the new space of 200GB will solve the issue? or I still need to expand the size of dynamic VHD? as I know dynamic VHD is not able to expand as it will always grow right?
Thanks

Hi, I posted this in the Windows 7 forum but now I'm wondering if it's more of a Hyper-V issue, so I'm posting it here as well.
I have a basic Windows 7 Enterprise image built in Hyper-V. In the VM's device manager, Win7 shows two mice; a HID-compliant mouse and a Microsoft PS/2 Mouse. Not sure why. If I delete both and restart the VM, they just reappear. I don't see an option to prevent this from happening. Any ideas?
The second problem related to this is, when I apply this image to a physical computer (Sysprepped image, using ImageX), it too shows two physical mice (both HID-compliant mouse) and have the same problem. I can manually uninstall the mice from the list, but both show up again once I plug the mouse back in again.
The computer itself is working fine and I'm not having issues with the mouse per se, I just don't know why it is showing it twice and I would prefer that it wouldn't. Is that just due to the image being originally created in HyperV? It's just a regular Microsoft-wired generic USB mouse.
Thanks in advance,

I have inherited a Hyper V environment that was set up by someone who was apparently in love with the next button. All of the csv have the default name of Cluster Disk 1, Cluster Disk 2 and so on, and the folder names in c:\cluster storage are all Volume1, Volume2 and so on. There are six disks in total 4 of which are 2TBs, making it impossible to determine which lun it exists on on the Equalogic san based on size.
Is there anywhere in failover cluster manager, or anywhere else, that will tell me which csv is on which lun. The luns are all named differently in SAN HQ.
I have looked in diskpart but the LUN ID entry on detil disk all say 0. And the disk IDs don't correlate to the iscsi identifier.
Any help is appreciated
Howdy,
I'm just wondering if there's a Powershell command or somewhere in the VM properties that might show me which ID created a given VM and when it was created. Anyone know if that's something easy to find?
If it's a script I can run against a bunch of VMs at once, that'd be great. Or if I have to check the manually, that work too but wouldn't be as ideal.
Thanks!
I am having an odd issue with enabling replication between my Hyper-V hosts. We don't have a central CA so I am using a TechNet blog post "Hyper V Replica Certificate Based Authentication Makecert" (Sorry, my account has not been verified so I
can't post links)
These steps have worked 100% on 4 of my Hyper-V hosts but I have 1 host that keeps giving me the following error:
"Hyper-V failed to enable replication.
Hyper-V failed to enable replication for virtual machine 'vsprdrec12': The certificate's CN name does not match the passed value. (0x800B070F).
The Replica server's name for Hyper-V does not match the received certificate's subject common name (CN) or subject alternative name (DNS Name): The certificate's CN name does not match the passed value (0x800B010F)."
(Sorry again, account hasn't been verified so no screen shot of the error.)
The primary and the replica servers are set up exactly like my other primary and replica servers, but only this one gives me the error. Anyone have any suggestions on a remedy of resources?
Thank you all in advance.Hi
we have windows Server 2012 r2 Hyper V failover Cluster.. we face slow network performance issue in widows 2012 R2

Remaining Servers are working perfectly only when user login on terminal server node..
Any idea
Hello Team,
I installed Hyper on Windows 2012 R2 server and loaded Virtual machines. All looks good. I want to join my VM's and the Guest machine to the Domain. I set the Internal Lan on the Guest OS to the Domain Controller running DNS. I am able to ping the server and I am able to join the Guest OS to the domain.
Now I want to join the Virtual machines to the same domain , but how to configure the NIC on the VM , so that it can ping the Domain Controller ? Virtual Switch Manager is configured with External network and also enabled "Allow management operating system to share this network adapter".
So I am little lost here to how to make the Virtual machines talk to the Domain Controller ? What would be the NIC setting on the Virtual machine ?
Any help would be appreciated!!

Dear Experts,
We have done a basic installation of a Windows Server 2012 R2 will all updates. Windows has not be activated yet. We need a second server - before we do a second installation we thought it would be easier to simply copy the virtual machine. Is this possible? I know that with older Windows Systems and without virtualisation, one had to do a sysprep otherwise one could have problems with the SID or HAL.
Thanks for your help.

We have installed Windows Server 2008 R2 with Hyper V role installed on IBM x3650 M4 server. We have connected 2 LAN. When we create External Virtual Network & binds one physical adapter in Virtual Network manager, We loose the ping response from Local network for that physical adaptor. Even if we create new VM (Guest OS) & we are not getting any IP from DHCP to that VM. Kindly help to resolve it.
I have a Windows 2008 r2 standard server and need to setup RDS that runs office 2013 and a 3rd party EMR software for around 10 users. I checked and the only version of office 2013 that works on a server is Pro plus which is supposedly around $500 per user.
So I started wondering if Hyper-V would be a better solution. Essentially I would add a new virtual Windows 7 workstation for each remote user they need and log in to each to configure a traditional W7 remote desktop setup. All of which would be going across a 3 site vpn tunnel. So this would give the user a W7 environment versus a server OS but I have a few questions:
Would the Hyper-V setup in this way be more resource intensive on the server and the lan/wan?
It seems that their would be a significant amount of additional configuration time to get the Hyper-V working because I would have to login to each one and join it to the domain, create AD users, install the EMR software, configure remote desktop, open firewall ports, set static ip's, etc...
Cost wise, it seems like for the Hyper-V I would simply need a windows license and a standard office 2013 home and business license for each virtual Windows 7.
Please give me thoughts and suggestions regarding this setup. Any help is appreciated.
Hi all;
As you know, when configuring Hyper-V Replica on a Replica Server, it able use to specify multiple primary servers. Right?
As I can specify which servers are trusted to replicate to replica server, why bother me to create a Trust Group and join that primary servers to it? What is the primary purpose of creating Trust Group?
Thanks

Hi all,
I have 6 physical servers which I want to move to Hyper-V 2 node cluster (each 2 CPU). Hyper-V nodes will run on Windows 2012 R2 Standard edition. All 6 physical servers are already licensed (2003 and 2008 servers).
My questions:
1. Do I need to licence servers again when they are moved to virtual environment? What is the best way/tool to do it?
2. I want to install additional Windows 2012R2 server as new virtual server on Hyper-V. Is this covered with Standard license which is used for Hyper-V? As far as I know I should be able to run 2 addiotional VM's (VOSE) on Hyper-V with Standard license.
3. Windows 2012 R2 Standard licence covers 2 CPU and 2 VOSE. I know (think) that if I want to run 6 VM's on 2 node Hyper-V cluster I need to have 3 Windows Server standard licence for each host. Am I right? But my scenario is that I already have licenced physical server and want to move them to Hyper-V 2 node cluster?
I think I do not need any additional license if I want to run them on single node Hyper-V. But what if it's 2 node cluster - my scenario?
4. Am I able to use live migration in this scenario? I have shared storage. Do I need anything else?
Thanks

Hello all,
I have a host machine (Host2) with the VM named Exch1 (Windows Server R2 + Exchange 2013SP1). I created this VM 13.04.2015 and took a snapshot yesterday, 15.04.2015:
Today I started working with Exch1 at ~11:00 and had to restore my single snapshot (checkpoint) at3:42 A.M.
After restoring (I see that the old configuration has really been restored) I still can see in the Exch1's logs events dated prior to 04/15/2015/3:42 A.M. and AFTER 4/15/2015 7:49 A.M.:
In other words, I see the consecutive chain of events as if I hadn't restored the snapshot taken yesterday...
After restoring today at 3:30 AM the snapshot of my second VM (DC) hosted on Host1 that was taken on 04/15/2015 at7:49 AM (at the same time as the snapshot of Exch1) I see in DC's logs eventsup to 04/15/2015 7:48:59AM and starting from 04/16/2015 3:30:26 AM - as expected...
Is it somehow possible that Hyper-V restores only part of a snapshot???
Thank you in advance,
Michael

Right now I have my OS (C:\) on the SSD in a 36Gb partition, then I have 5 VMs on the same SSD in a second (D:\) partition. I only run 1, 2 at the most as needed as I need to work in different developer environments. All of the VMs are differencing disks based on 2 parent disks. I have a second spindle disk (H:\) that I am using for backups of the VMs and I have also moved the paging file there.
But I have 13.2 GB free and I since I need to add more VMs I was wondering how I should rearrange these. I am thinking since Parent disks are read only that maybe they should be moved to the spindle (H:\). But what about the Page file? Should I leave it on the spindle or would I get better performance from it being on the SSD?
The Hyper-V machine is an Intel core i7-4770 @ 3.40Ghz with 24 GB of RAM running Windows 8.1.
Thanks,
Phil
