All,
I have a little development server (in my basement at home) that I primarily use to acclimate myself to software and server strategies for the office. It runs Windows Server with the Hyper-V Role, and then I have an Exchange VM, and a File Server VM.
My internet Router died the other day; and I needed a quick router. So I installed Remote Access on the Hyper-V host; and configured a NAT Router. While it worked; everytime I would access my Exchange VM OWA, and try to do anything; it would cause the server to unexpectedly. No EventLogs, No HardwareLogs, not explainable answers anywhere.
I tried modifying a lot of things; and what finally worked today; was to remove the Remote Access Role from the Hyper-V host; and install that Role in a Guest VM.
Food for thought! Hyper-V Host and RRAS do not work well together!! Not that there is likely anyone out there that will try this; and I'm sure the security folks will clobber me about running my Hyper-V host as an Edge Firewall.
But, if you want to see it happen, I think the only hardware related thing you might need to know is that it is a Dell T310 with Broadcom NIC's.
