Hey,

The goal of the project that I am working on is to create a subnet, with DHCP and NAT, of virtual adapters on the management OS.

(Please do not question why I would do such a thing)

To accomplish this I created a hyper-v Internal Virtual Switch with the command

New-VMSwitch -SwitchName "V Switch" -SwitchType Internal

and I also created multiple virtual adapters connected to that switch.

Add-VMNetworkAdapter -ManagementOS -Name "V Adapter1" -SwitchName "V Switch”

Add-VMNetworkAdapter -ManagementOS -Name "V Adapter2" -SwitchName "V Switch”

Add-VMNetworkAdapter -ManagementOS -Name "V Adapter3" -SwitchName "V Switch”

Then connected a physical adapter (connected to the internet) to the internal virtual switch using Internet connection sharing (ICS). Which turned the internal virtual switch’s adapter into a gateway with Ip address 192.168.137.1. The other adapters, V Adapter1
ect…, should be apart of the subnet and get an Ip address in the range 192.168.137.xxx but they do not get responses from Internet connection sharing’s DHCP server and have APIPA addresses.

I tested to see if I could get an Ip address from a VM attached to the internal virtual switch and the VM was able to get the Ip address 192.168.137.142 from the DHCP server just fine.

I also tested to see if I could get an Ip address using the ManagementOs virtual adapter "V Adapter1" by using a custom protocol driver that spoofed the source mac address (send DHCP discover with different MAC) and set the adapter in promiscuous
mode(Receive messages with MACs other than the adapters own MAC). It was also able to get an Ip address.

Does anyone have any idea why the ManagementOs virtual adapters are not able to get an Ip address from ICS’s DHCP server?

Also forgot to mention that if I set a static Ip address for the ManagementOs virtual adapters they work all perfectly fine. It just seems like the DHCP discover message is ignored by ICS if it is from the ManagementOs virtual adapters.

Any ideas of why this happens or a way to get Ip address for ManagementOs virtual adapters from the ICS DHCP server would be a great help.

Thanks!

Hello, does a tool exist that I can connect my hyperv machine to an existing vmware environment and run it so it can convert the virtual machines into a VHD format. 

I’m being asked this question and unfortunately I don’t know the answer. If it does exist, is there one that runs like vmware converter where it does it on the fly while the machine is on and I simply have to turn the machine on after it is done converting?

Thanks!

Hi,

Is it possible to have hyper-v replica between hyper-v server 2016 (core) and windows server 2019?

Consider that VM
configuration versions are the same.

Hi all,

Looking around I haven’t seen any elegant way to determine that a VM has booted successfully to the desktop (assuming autologon).

Is there a Microsoft approved way of detecting this? Or is it only "check if a service is running", etc semi-hacks?

Thanks for any insights

Hi.

For some time I have a problem with VM (Windows Server 2016) on the HP Proliant DL360 Gen9 server.

The machine has been freezing for some time. I can’t get to it through RDP, SSH. When I want VM shutdown on Hypervisor, I get the error "VM state does not allow it to close".

I get errors on VM:

DCOM 10010 - "The server did not register in DCOM within the required time."

and

WAS 5010 - "The process serving the application pool did not respond to the ping command. The process identifier.

The problem repeats every few days or once a month.

The problem usually lasts 30 minutes.

I have already tried many solutions. Unfortunately, no result …

Thanks for any help.

Hi,

Can i move virtual machine with Windows Server 2016 evaluation (180days) from one Hyper-V host to other?

Will I lost my evaluation time? I had to do lot of changes and installed many programs so I don’t want to do it again, but i have to move this machine to other host.

Hello Everyone:

Actually i have a Hyper-v cluster on Windows Server 2012 and i have a server that i use for connecting to this using Hyper-v tools .  Connection in this schema is fine.  Few month we created a new cluster on Windows Server 2016 and in this case
i have other server with win server 2016 that we are using for connecting us to this.  Final idea, would be, this new server allows me connecting to Windows Server 2012 hosts (from first cluster) and Windows Server 2016 (Corresponding new cluster).

Using Failover and trying to connecting me from Win server 2016 to Host on Windows server 2012 (Node or nodes from first cluster).  I obtain the following error:

Actually when i am trying to connect me from Win 2016 (Hyper V Console Server) to Win server 2008 hosts via hyper v Manager and i am not using an administrator user i get the following error

But, if i use a server administrator and i am trying using same console i can to access both servers: Win 2016 and win 2008

So my questions are: 

1) Win 2016 Hyper V Manager Console is not compatible for connecting me old versions hosts?

2) If connection could be possible Would i need a special priviledges?. Because when i trying to do the same connection with an Administrator the error doesn’t appear

Please help me with this

Kind regards

I might be in the wrong category for this but my issue is really about enabling WinRM so that I can connect to my hyper-v server.

I have set my network connection type to private, but when I try to do winrm quickconfig it reports that it wont work because its public.

PS C:Windowssystem32> Get-NetConnectionProfile

I’m really stuck on this one. Maybe it would help to connect through a domain but my plan was to run my domain server on this hyper-v host that I’m unable to connect to.

I’m asking this in Windows Server sub-forum because my actual host OS Windows 10 does not have a dedicated Hyper-V sub-forum.

Late last year I was running a couple of Windows 10 client VMs on my home desktop PC to test Windows Autopilot and MDM. I would access my home computer from outside via RDC and had no problems operating the VMs (Virtual Machine Connection).

This year, I’m not exactly sure what’s changed, but it seems like accessing the VM display console cannot succeed. Either the VMC window would get stuck resizing the window to the VM’s desktop resolution and eventually close by itself, or it’d hang with
corrupted display.

There are corresponding crash events in Application log.

Worse is if that corrupt VMC window appears, I could very well lose RDC connection to my computer.

I have to get back home to re-gain access to the OS via physical monitor displays. In the physical logon session, I have connect and vmconnect.exe can render the VM screens. The error below probably explains the RDC failure.

And even worse scenario is when I get the corrupted VMC window, lose connection, and cannot even get into the OS via physical means; the monitors keep sleeping and waking with blank screens. I might be able to connect to the VMs via RDC Manager (with VM
mode) from another computer to interact and shut them down, but since the host OS is inaccessible at this state I have to hard reset the computer.

I later found scores of display driver restarts, and even broken dwm.exe which likely explains the loss of physical access.

Seems like I’m forced to work with Hyper-V only through physical display now. What is it about Hyper-V services and components that can make it (now) unsuitable for control over RDC?
