I am setting up a new HyperV machine and am running with VM2 (running Windows MultiPoint Server) seeing the Active Directory services of VM2 (Server 2012 Essentials). What I have found in trying to narrow down the problem are the following:
- the VMs can ping each other by host name
- the VMs can browse folder by host name
- I was able to get VM2 to join the domain, when I setup the virtual switch manager with an internal switch connection, I was not able to perform that task when they both had external access via NIC 1
- VM2 can sign in with network credentials, when using the Internal virtual switch, but not external
- both machines have Internet access, via the local LAN, when point to the external network (NIC1)
I am at a loss as to why VM2 cannot see the active directory service of VM1 when using the external settings of the HyperV switch. I have recreated this switch port a view times.
