Hi,
So I have 3 W2k8R2 VMs that were running on a W2k8R2 Ent Host. They had version 6.1 of the Integration Services on them.
We temporarily moved the 3 VMs to a W2K12R2 host and installed the W2k12R2 Integration Services, which are version 6.3.
Now I have moved the 3 VMs back to the original W2k8R2 host, but no way, no how can I get the version 6.3 Integration services off of them. Even after an uninstall on the W2k12R2 host, they are still there. If i try to reinstall Ver 6.1 from the W2k8r2 host, it does not overwrite the newer files.
So, when i try to back up the W2k8R2 host and the VMs, the host's VSS cannot talk to the newer version of VSS on the VMs, so HyperV stops the VMs at the beginning of the backup job to snapshot the VMs. It restarts them after 30 to 60 minutes and completes the backup. Before when the VMs had 6.1 on them, the VMs would backup "hot" and online with now downtime.
Any assistance greatly appriciated. Is there a way to uninstall 6.3, or am I hooped?
