I placed this in the Hyper-V section since I am running Hyperv 2012 R2 standalone server, so no GUI. I would of placed this in a powershell/cmd or CLI section had there been one.

I put in some schedule task, but I am finding it hard to SEE what the actual task is suppose to run. It blows my mind that this wasn’t something I could easily find with google or through the help menu.

I tried schtasks /query /tn NAMEOFTASK

but it only returns the Taskname, Next Run Time, and Status

How do I see what the actual task will do?!?!

also tried

Get-ScheduleTask TaskName | Get-ScheduledTaskInfo

Also just as useless. Am I crazy or does this information simply not obtainable through the command line, at least without a simple command and switch.  Any Insight or Windows BASHing is welcomed. Thanks in advance.

Dear Support, 

We cannot use mouse on Hyper-VM suddenly. 
Besides, we cannot remote the VM. 

Could you have idea to solve the issue?

Thanks!

Best Regards,
Daniel

I’ve followed all the instructions - it actually worked and then suddenly stopped working.

I am NOT in domain.

Symptoms: in server manager, I get: "Online - Verify that WinRM 3.0 service is installed, running, and required fw ports are open"

in Hyper-V manager, I get: An error occured while attempting to connect to server XXXXX. Check that Virtual Machine Management service is running and that you are authorized to connect to the server. More specifically, "The operation on computer xxxx
failed: WinRM cannot complete the operation. Verify that the specified computer name is valid, that the computer is accessible over the network, and that a firewall exception for the WinRM service is enabled and allows access from this computer…."

I followed everything on this page: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/virtualization/hyper-v/manage/Remotely-manage-Hyper-V-hosts

On server: I created local administrator (it works via remote desktop), enabled PSRemoting, Enabled WSManCredSSP -role Server, added my client computer to trusted hosts, added computer to hosts file.

On client, I also added server to trusted hosts, I went into gpedit and allowed delegating fresh credential,….

I did winrm quickconfig on both machines, set all networks to private,… disabled firewall completely, tried telneting onto 5985/5986 ports on both computers (works OK)…

I also followed some forum posts (additional command to allow more stuff) and it still does not work.

Any ideas? :-S It worked but it stopped working suddenly - I’m guessing some update or something broke it?

I built multiple virtual machines. When I used them, part of the network of virtual machines was not working. 

I don’t know why.

For example, I have a and B two virtual machines. They are all connected to the same virtual switch, which is default by network settings. But B can not access the network, DHCP client can not deliver messages, router can not receive DHCP requests, and manually
fill in the IP invalid

I restart the virtual machine, the fault is still. I can only get rid of a physical computer failure by restarting it, but it’s only temporary, and when I run the new virtual machine it may fail again

I need to solve this problem, and I want to know how to test the network of virtual switches and virtual machines.

We have installed Windows server 2016 server with Hyper-V on Dell R430 server, 2×16 Core 32Threats CPU.  We have build 2 guest Windows 2012 servers for each have 16 vCPU only. 

We found that even the guest servers CPU running over 70%, the host server only have 1 core full loading and other CPU only have few% loading running.

Is that anything we set wrong? Or anyway we can make the balance CPU load on the physical host?

Thanks a lot

We have windows server 2016 running Hyper V services. Two VMs with Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise is running and are failing to create Checkpoints. The error shows: "An error occurred while attempting to checkpoint the selected Virtual Machin(s).
Checkpoint Operation failed. ‘VMNAME’ could not initiate a checkpoint operation."

In the Hyper V host of Windows server 2016, when I run Get-IntegrationService -VMName "VMNAME" command in powershell; all the Hyper-V services are running and are listed as true in enabled and OK in Primary Status Description.

Upon checking the version of Hyper V integration services in the VMs; the version number is 6.3.9600.18080

Can anyone point me out to what I am missing here? I updated the Hyper V integration services previously; as there was an irreversible error in VSS service.

Also, when I restart these services in the Windows server 2008 R2 VMs; the checkpoints are scucessful: BITS, SENS, NtFrs, DFSR, EventSystem and VSS. But after a restart of VMs, the condition is same. Another VM with windows server 2016 is running fine and can
create checkpoints easily.

Any suggestions here?
