Hello

I have a Hyper-V host running a Windows Server 2016 VM, on a domain. When i try to login with my domain account after typing in my password and clicking enter the is taking back to the name box and it remains on the login screen. Group Policy is set to disable local accounts on the computers when they are joined to a domain. Any ideas on what is causing this ?

Thank You


Virtual Switch Breaks DHCPV6 on Windows 10

$
0
0

I run Hyper-V on a Windows 10 Pro machine.  It is used lightly for some testing scenarios.

Before I enabled Hyper-V and created the virtual switch, my workstation properly requested and received a DHCPv6 IP address and registered itself with the DNS server (all running on OpenWRT).

After enabling Hyper-V and the virtual switch, my main network connection now makes use of the bridge and virtual switch.  The switch is setup as an internet connected bridge.

However, now my workstation no longer gets a DHCPv6 address, instead it has an SLAAC primary and temporary address.  Nor does the name register in DNS.

There was a bug like this once in the main IPv6 code for Windows 10, but it was fixed a while back.  I wonder if it remains in the vSwitch driver.

Can anyone else confirm?


Client Hyper-V and USB Passthrough For a Scanner

I have setup a Windows 7 VM running on Windows 10 Client Hyper-V to be able to continue using a discontinued application for a short period of time.  The catch is that I'm trying to install a Panasonic KV-S1025C scanning to use in the VM, but with no luck.  I understand that this requires USB Passthrough, but can't seem to find anything more for documentation beyond enabling USB mass storage.  I'll take any suggestions on this, if anyone has any thoughts.

Hyper-V VM can login to windows if only virtual machine network adapter is disconnected

Hi,

We have some VMs for one of our customers than keep stuck if we restart them, they will not show alt+ctrl+delete till you disconnect the network adapter, login to Windows and connect back the network adapter. 

I updated integrator services on these VMs but same issue. Those VMs either Windows 2008 R2 or Windows 2008 or Windows 2012 R2 and  Hyper-V hosts (HYper-V clusters) are either Windows 2012 R2, Windows 2016 or Windows 2008.

How can troubleshoot this issue?

Hello! VDI/Hyper-V noob here. I have a VDI deployment with a bunch of Hyper-V VMs spread across 2 physical servers and I need to combine this all onto one server. What is the process to safely take all my VMs on server 2 and migrate them to server 1?

OS is windows server 2016, VMs are running Win10 Enterprise. VDI is a persistent pooled desktop collection.

Thank you for any help you can offer! I know this may be basic stuff but I'm trying to learn a ton as I go.

How do I add the expanded physical disk-space to Hyper-V Host C-Drive partition

$

Hi,

I have a problem here. We're running Hyper-V core on HP DL380p G8 machine, Smart Array 430 RAID-6. 

Added 2 more disks to the RAID, expanded the array and see the additional available space in storage manager.

On VMware the host immediately sees the added HD space after a rescan, I can expand the Volume and it's ready for use.

The Hyper-V doesn't see the additional space in DISKPART, even after a RESCAN.

Is there any possibility to add this disk space to an existing host partition or add a second partition to use the additional space?

Regards

Walter


Unable to add iSCSI disk to VM as a physical drive

Hi, I am using Hyper-V Server Core build 17723 and I have an iSCSI target that I would like to add to my VM as a physical drive, but I can't:

In Hyper-V Manager, the option to add a physical disk is greyed out. I'm not sure what other information to give... it's a standard iSCSI target and initiator. I have another iSCSI drive mounted as a disk with VHDs stored on it that works perfectly fine.

I've read online that this is supported and works fine for others. I found another thread in Japanese from someone with the same problem (Google "Unable to find a physical hard drive matching the given criteria", I can't post a link yet), and they are using an older build of Server Core, so I don't think it's my build.

What could I try next?

Thank you!

Hello Friends,

We have Hyper-V failover cluster on 2016 Datacenter O.S. 

When we are assigning vCPU in any Virtual Machine more than 8. Like 10 or 12 or 16. Live migration is not working and as soon as we reduce it with 8 vCPU than it started Live migrating.




Cannot start Hyper-V Virtual Machine after install of KB4343887

Hi,

I wanted to report that I was unable to start any Virtual Machines in Hyper-V after an automated overnight update was installed last night: KB4343887 Cumulative Update for Windows Server 2016 for x_64-based systems.

After the update was installed, when trying to start any VM, it failed with an error message very similar to the following:
"Failed to start the virtual machine 'test' because one of the Hyper-V components is not running."

After removing the update, I was able to start the VMs.

VMs Have Gone Missing

I have been tasked with trying to discover how/why several VMs have gone missing from an on campus server.

The server runs Windows Server 2012 R2.

This server hosted/should be hosting several other VMs.

If I try to remote desktop onto any of the VMs then I get the message "Remote desktop cannot find the computer "VM name". This might mean that "VM name" does not belong to the specified network.

I can still remote onto the physical server without issue.

The folder  C:\ProgamData\Microsoft\Hyper-V\Virtual Machines on the server is empty

If I look at the Hyper-V-Worker event logs (Log Viewer --> Microsoft --> Windows --> Hyper-V-Worker) then there are no logs for the last two years.

I.T. has run a hardware diagnostics on the server which came back healthy.

What else can i do to investigate this issue?

Please let me know of any additional details needed, my knowledge about servers is very limited.

Mix-Match Hyper-V Cluster

I have been tasked with building a hyper-v cluster with a total of 3 servers. We have 2 identical servers and 1 server that is beefer than those 2 but not identical. This beefer server, where should it go in the scheme of a 2016 hyper-v cluster design? This server has 4 CPU's, 16 HDD slots and 512gb RAM. At first, i had planned on using it for storage but it seems like a waste of resources (cpu's and ram). Then i thought it should be a node? Where should this beefer server go, storage or node?

Hi. I have a problem with digital signature in ms office. When i opening file with signature, this document opened very long time approximate 10-20 second(until verify signature).

Can somebody help?

[Solved] Cannot disable Hyper-V, error reverting changes

$
0

I have tried so many ways of disabling Hyper-V, but none worked so far.
1. Uncheck in Optional Features.

2. Same thing, except tried uninstalling/removing all virtual switches in Network settings (and/or Device manager) both before and after uninstalling Hyper-V through Optional Features.

3. Ran PowerShell command as Admin to remove it, something starting with "Disable-", ending with "Microsoft-Hyper-V-All" (and uninstall remove switches).

4. Ran this thing (script and program) as admin; "Completely remove Hyper-V Virtual Machines" by Zeng Yinghua posted somewhere on one of these sub-domains. Listed all Virtual Machines (none came up) and removed them, then tried uninstalling Hyper-V and switches.

5. Network settings -> Right click vEthernet (the only one left that comes back after removing)  -> Properties -> Driver -> Uninstall, then repeat with removing from Optional Features.

6. Remove entries under regedit -> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE etc... vmsmp\parameters\NicList & SwitchList, then uncheck Hyper-V and reboot.

7. Set C drive as "Active" in disk manager. (This caused error starting up machine, had to get Win. install USB and repear boot to fix).

8. Use some cleanup commands as admin in CMD "dism.exe /Online/ something" but gave error that it is not a recognized command on any that I tried (base command is valid, options werent. Checked spelling too). Also tried some 'sfm /scannow' or something. It found errors that it corrected, then tried many of the things above.

It has no apparent issues removing it when I uncheck and save. Then I restart it applies update. Small restart, then it shows me an error saying it could not complete the changes, and reverts back. Then I am back to where I started again.

If I check Event log in Windows-logs > Configuration it says (translated):
"Updating Microsoft-Hyper-V-Management-Clients of package Microsoft-Hyper-V-ClientEdition could not be turned off. Status: 0x80070005." -- There's a few of those, referring to different Hyper-V of package X.

I read that it could be some access error or something, and to solve it I had to go to Windows Defender -> Apps- and browsercontroll -> Exploit Protection preferences -> CFG set to "Activated as standard". I did that, restarted, tried all of the above again. Still get that last mentioned error in Event-log.

EDIT: Solved.

AV was the cause. Pausing it and quit until restart didn't help. Had to completely uninstall Kaspersky (AntiVirus) then repeat steps of removing switchm then uncheck and restart. 


VDI License Question

I am looking to replace about 200 physical desktop systems with Thin Clients.    These Thin Clients will connect to a 2016 DataCenter Server cluster that I set up with VDI.

When a user logs in, they get assigned to a Windows 10 deployment, when they log out, it destroys that Windows 10 instance and creates a fresh one in it's place. Basically, they are created as a 'pooled virtual desktop collection'

So my question is (becasue our license vendor can't give a straight answer) what licenses do I need?


Hyper-V Test-VMReplicationConnection Timed Out

$

Hi everyone, 

I have a problem with trying to replicate a virtual machine from one hyper-v server to its replication partner.  

On the partner machine I have enabled it as a replica server using Kerberos on port 80.  It is set to accept connections from any server and I have set the replication store.  The firewall rules have been enabled for "Hyper-V Replica HTTP Listener (TCP-In)"

When I issue the powershell command "test-vmreplicationconnection servername 80 Kerberos" it comes back with a timeout error.  

If I issue a netstat -ano | find /i ":80 " command on the server I see it open a connection to the replica server port 80 using the process ID for my VMMS service.  On the replica server, if I issue the same netstat -ano | find /i ":80 " command, I see the connection from the server under a system process, but the connection times out.  

The host server is running Windows Server 2016 Standard.  The target (replica partner) is running Hyper-V Server 2016.  

Thanks for any help, 

Joel

Cant Format LUN Windows Server 2016 MPIO CSV

$

I am trying to format my 3TB GPT NetApp SAN LUNs on my production 2 node Hyper-V cluster. When the LUN is not added to the cluster I am getting the generic error message that the format did not complete successfully. Nothing is logged in event viewer. When I add the disk to the cluster (pre-cluster storage volume) I am not able to format the disk because its apparently not in maintenance mode. This message caught me off guard as I was able to do this before. Putting the disk in maintenance mode led to the same generic error i originally got prior to adding the the disk to the cluster.

The issue started after a network upgrade supporting our entire HA clustered environment. We went from a 1GB to a 10GB network for our server and SAN environment.  I upgraded the network adapters in our Hyper-V servers to Intel's X710 Quad 10GB adapters. I installed new 10GB Cisco servers. Everything is now running at 10GB speeds. The ISCSI subnets are configured to use jumbo frames. We are using NetApp's DSM driver for MPIO.

I started with NetApp support and they said this was a filesystem issue and not an issue with my NetApp SAN appliance.

At this point I am not sure if I am having issues with the network configuration or software. Both MPIO paths are active and working on both Hyper-V nodes.

Any suggestions?

Network Speed, Data transfer between Windows and Linux Hosts

$

I have a two-node hyper-v cluster, a single 1-gigabit NIC bounded to vSwitch and seen by Windows and Linux VMs as 10 Gbps NICs

So i used ntttcp testing Windows-Windows and the results were ok, 1 Gbps speed

SO i found a ntttcp linux port and the results were wierd, a WQindows -- Linux data transfer take 58 seconds to transfer 61 GB of data (100.000 buffers of 64KB each), achieving.. 9 Gbps!!!!!!!!!!!

why the windows-Linux test achieved 99% of the 10 Gbps NIC, but the same test under Windows, shows a 10% of the 10 Gbps NIC?

Some people also asked me why, in a VM-VM transfer, under the same physical hardware, why HV does not copy data between Vms, using in-memory operation, no tied to the limits of the NIC?
