Hello,
i receive the following error when pxe-boot from a generation 2.0 VM in Hyper-V Server2012R2 :
When booting from a VMWare-VM there is no problem (also not vmware workstation).
What is the Hyper-v related problem with pxe boot this VM?

How best to add additional NICs for additional virtual switches on a working hyper-v cluster (HA)?
So we have a working hyper-v cluster but want to add additional NICs to the nodes to create additional virtual switches.
Do we need to destroy the cluster via cluster manager and recreate when we have additional nodes in place or is there are less instrusive method to add additional NICs for virtual switches?
Please provide recommended steps on how best to do this?
Thanks.

How best to add new NICS for the creation of virtual switches on a hyper-v cluster (HA) Windows 2008 R2?
We have a working hyper-v cluster to which we need to add additional NICS to create additional virtual switches.
Do we need to destroy and recreate cluster through cluster manager with new nodes (w new NICS) for this hyper-v cluster or is there a easier method to configure this? Do we need to evict the nodes then readd them with the new NICs?
Please provide steps? I know how to create virtual switches but not sure how best to add new NICs to the nodes of this hyper-v cluster.
thanks.

I can't Add Roles and Features to my Hyper-v 2012 R2 Server
I have a bare metal install of Hyper-v server 2012 R2. I added it to my domain and can access it through server manager. I can access everything remotely in that computer too, like remote connection, powershell, and disk management. However when I click"Add Roles and Features" I get this message:
"Either there are no servers in the server manager server pool, or there are no servers that support remote installation or removal of roles. To add supported servers, use the add server command on the Manage menu of the Server Manager console."
I did add the server though and I can access every other part of it, so that cannot be the problem. And Hyper-V server was built by microsoft and came with Windows Server 2012 cd, so I assume it is supported. What could the problem be?

Copy/Paste to a VM machine causes the file size of the VM to increase drastically
Hi,
I set up a Hyper-V Windows Server 2008 VM on my PC and I connect to it through Remote Desktop. Whenever I try to copy/paste a folder into the VM through RDP, the size of my VM on my PC increases drastically. I tried moving a 20 MB folder this way and the size of the VM on my C:\ drive increased by 10 GB!!!
Does anyone know why this causes my disk space to increase so drastically?
Is there a way to revert the disk space to the previous size? I tried the Compact feature and that did not seem to make any difference.
When I look at the hard drive of my VM, it says it is only using about 40 GB but it takes up about 58 GB on my hard drive. If anyone has any ideas on how to shrink this space I would be interested. I also tried
Resize-VHD –Path c:\BaseVHDX.vhdx –ToMinimumSize
but I got an error saying it was not allowed.
Thanks!

My very first 2012 R2 Hyper V VM. The instructions do not work!
I have a new machine with 2 Westmere CPUs and 4 SAS disks in 2 Raid pairs.
WS 2012 r2 is installed and I have set up a Hyper-v Role, and rebooted, etc
I have set up Gen 2 VM which starts fine
I have an iso image downloaded from MS and mounted that as a DVD in the VM Manager and have put that first in the boot order.
When I start the machine I get
Boot Failed. EFI SCSI Device
(Same happens when I create a new machine with the Wizard and specify the OS installation iso image right at the start.)
I have followed all the instructions to the letter. Why do MS supply a product which falls at the very important stage of installing an OS in a VM?
Notes
I am new to the technical depths of Windows.
This is a single machine, not part of cluster. It is in a workgroup, not a domain - if that matters.
I have tried to read couple of other threads that mention the same error, but the are not quite the same situation and also I cannot follow the suggested fixes at all.
Please could someone tell me what to do via simple, point and click, step by step instructions, without assuming any knowledge on my part?
Thank you very much indeed.

NO AD for Hyper V
I have a dilemma.
My organisation is planning to deploy a new small domain.
I have been asked to design a new virtualisation platform for it
The platform will be Hyper v 2012 R2.
the AD servers DC's, DNS. DHCP are all planned to be virtual.
How will I set up a Hyper V cluster with out these elements?
It feels a bit like the chicken before the egg scenario....
Please advise

Help with setup of iSCSI and Hyper-V
I have a server running Hyper-V server 2008 core edition, and a QNAP box providing the storage via iSCSI. I've set up multiple LUN's in the QNAP box, and mapped each LUN to a drive letter on the server, so that each virtual machine has it's own drive letter.
Is this the best way to do this, or would it be better to have one large LUN as a single drive letter, and put all the virtual machines on this one driver letter - if so, would they be better in sub folders, or all in the same folder?
Thanks in advance.....

Cannot RDP to Server 2012 R2 Host after HyperV Role installed
Working on an HP Proliant server with a 4 port NIC. Two ports are cabled to switch and two are empty. Can RDP to Host fine before HyperV Role is installed. Afterwards cannot. Checked firewall rule and it was still enabled for RDP Public.
Go into HyperV Manager and look at the External Switch that was automatically created and it is allowing Management to be shared on the selected NIC. It appers NIC Teaming was automatically applied to the two cabled ports since #1 and #2 are not shown but #3 and #4 are shown as available.
What needs to be done to allow RDP to a HyperV host after role installed?

EventId: 7043 - The Hyper-V Virtual Machine Management service did not shut down properly after receiving a preshutdown control.
Noticed that our hyper-V host logs the below event log error every time it is rebooted. Any ideas why this service did not shut down properly?
EventId: 7043, System, Service Control Manager - The Hyper-V Virtual Machine Management service did not shut down properly after receiving a preshutdown control.
The hosted virtual server does pause/restart and shutdown/startup correctly from hyper-v manager manually.
Anyone else seeing this error message?

AD Controller for Cluster
This may be extremely basic HyperV cluster 101, but I need a quick double check on my understanding here...
We've got three identical hosts connected to a SAN, the plan being to create a cluster and doll out no more VMs than can comfortably fit on two hosts so that in case of all out failure of one of them, the VMs in question fail over to the third.
Then we realized that a cluster needs an AD Controller. Now we could add a simple physical server, but that would create a serious single point of failure would it not? IE, if it goes down the whole cluster is shot. I suppose we could add
TWO small physical servers, one primary controller and one secondary, but that would add considerable expense considering the austere nature of this layout.
Only alternative I see is to create the AD Controller as a VM on one of the hosts and a secondary controller as a VM on another, such that in an all out host failure, there is still a domain controller for the cluster to function.
Do I have that right?

How do I turn off Hyper-V 2012 server sleep mode?
Just installed Hyper-V 2012 server on a HP ML360 G8. Also installed Corefig 1.1.1. It seems after about 10 minutes if idle time the monitor goes black and the unit goes into sleep or hibernation. I have used powercfg to set it to the High Performance power scheme and set screensaver to none in Corefig.
When the monitor goes black, if I move the mouse the sconfig screen, corefig, etc windows do not show until I run the mouse over them. Even then the windows do not 'repaint' until I run the mouse over the whole window or make some kind of key stroke in each window.
Worried what this will do to my VMs once I start building them and would like to see the screen at all times. This is the first 2012 box and I have never had this issue with any of the Core 2008 products.
Thanks
