Hello (I posted this question over in the Microsoft VM Converter forum, not sure if that's the right place)
I am using Hyper-V Manager in Server 2012 R2 and have created guest vm's that are Windows 8 and Windows 10. All work fine and can connect to the network and have internet access (this is a dev environment). However, when I create a Windows 7 guest, it does not pickup an IP from DHCP and I cannot get it to connect at all. Ive tried the following:
1. Installed Integration Services setup.
2. Used both legacy and non legacy network adapters.
3. Uninstalled/reinstalled HyperV network adapter in guest OS
4. Disabled IPv6 in guest OS.
5. Set static IP address in guest OS and reserved in DNS.
6. Manually assigned DNS server in guest OS.
I then tried to create a guest Win7 OS on my Windows 8.1 host and experience the same issue, no connectivity. In both instances I get a 169.254.x.x. address. Is this some issue with Win7 and the latest Hyper-V version? As I mentioned Windows 8, 8.1, and 10 work just fine.
Thanks.
