Running Server 2012 R2 Datacenter on a HP Proliant 380p Gen8 (the HP was patched with the latest SPP)
I have created two templates running 2012 R2 Standard. (A Gen 1 and a Gen 2) The following scenario applies to machines made from both these templates.
All Oss are patched to current (as of Wed).
When the server is not part of the domain, and one selects shutdown within Hyper-V manager, the machines shut down with no issue. Fast. (You’ll see “shutting down 5%” then “Succeeded”)
However, when joined to the domain, and one shuts it down, the process is slower (You’ll see “shutting down 5%...10%...15%” etc. in 5% increments until…)
at 65% of shutdown integrated services clears from "Up to date" to ‘blank' - meaning states nothing. This is observed in the summary of the VM.
At 90% of shutdown the process hangs, then after some time the Heartbeat reports Lost Communication. This is observed in the summary of the VM.
One can not log into the server via console.
One is forced to turn off the VM, however when turned off the status goes to Shutdown Succeeded (this is different than a straight Turn Off…the process is ID’d as Turned Off.
The event logs on the guest are clean (not only within granular Applications and Services, but just reviewing the EventLog entries within System. As far as the OS is concerned, these are clean shutdowns (unless a Turn Off wasinitially initiated).
Confirmed integrated services are current (built into OS, but when I rerun it is reported up to date at 6.3.9600.16384.
Ran sfc /scannow on the guest, no issue reported.
same results if the guest server is connected to network or not.
Now, I have tested by removing the server from the domain and re-adding it back three separate times and the results are the same (in a workgroup no issue, when part of domain, the above occurs). The Host is within the domain. They are all on the same network. Should be noted, when joined to the domain, the domain functionality (shares, etc) function as expecte
