Physical to virtual ends with errors, other methods export but launch with windows repair 2008 r2

New to hyperV here, plan to implement it in a few months. So I am practicing with it now.
I am trying to convert a working 2008 r2 physical to virtual using Microsoft virtual machine converter.  in the settings I was point it to my hyperv- server and I was getting errors, this was due to permissions. No matter what I did I can't get it to
work, not sure whats wrong. SO I installed hyper V under my win8.1 pro machine shared the folders and the export started.
Upon the end of the export where it goes into "Fixing disk' I get an instant error no matter how may times I do this or how which server I try to export I get an error here.
It still created files and when I then copy those over to my test hyper V the win2008 R2 export goes into repair mode, I'm sure it's a driver issue but I would have expected that MS would have stripped the drivers our before export.
I then tried Acronis backup server and was able to export to MS virtual machine but this export also goes into windows repair more.
In the past I've used acronis and restored a physical server , this would also go into repair mode unless I use the "intelligent restore" which strips the drivers.
I don't want to tinker with the live server to get this to work since It's still in production, but I would like to get this to work , would any one have a tip, what can I do to provide more information on the root of the problem?

Hi Sir,
>>I am trying to convert a working 2008 r2 physical to virtual using
Microsoft virtual machine converter. 
Generally, I would suggest you to use
Disk2Vhd to convert a physical computer to Virtual Machine (virtual hard disk) then create a VM and attach that VHD .
Please refer to this
article .
Any further information please feel free to let us know .

  • Can i install VS 2013 in my Virtual Machine with Windows 8.1 and work for Mobile Development,Mobile Emulator can work in my Virtual Machine ?

    I have a Virtual Machine with Windows 8.1 OS and 4gb RAM, 200gb Disk.
    I want to develop apps for Windows Mobile 8.1 with VS 2013 Update 4, Mobile Emulators can work in my Virtual Machine, bcz i am getting bellow error.
    Windows Phone Emulator is unable to verify that the virtual machine is running:
    Something happend while starting a virtual machine:'Emulator 8.1 WVGA 4 inch 512MB.APPUSER' failed to start.(Virtual machine ID xxxxxx-xxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxx)
    The Virtual Machine Management Service failed to start the virtual machine 'Emulator 8.1 WVGA 4inch 512MB.appuser' because one of the Hyper-V components is not running (Virtual machine ID xxxx-xxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx).

    No you cannot do that.  You need a physical machine that supports Hyper-V

  • Create Hyper-V Virtual Machines with Windows PowerShell searching on hostname

    Dear,
    I’m a starter with PowerShell scripting an I’m looking for a script to create Hyper-V Virtual Machines with Windows PowerShell. The idea behind the script is that when I run the script its first searching for the hostname. I’m migrating 24 locations and each
    location have a different hostname like xxx-SRV001. The script needs to use the first 3 signs from the hostname in this case “xxx” and create 2 VM's with below info:
    Virtual Machine 1 2048MB
    Virtual Machine 2 4096MB
    Location D:\VM\
    I can create VM's with Powershell into Hyper-V so only a script to first searching for the first 3 characters of the hostname is enough.
    Example:
    It's the intention that when the script runs it's looking for the hostname. As example we have hostname 000-SRV001
    If the script see the first 3 characters of the hostname, in this case 000 he need to create 2 VMs with name xxx-SRV002 and xxx-SRV004
    I think it must be something with 
    $hostname = "Get-WmiObject -computername $Machine Win32_Computersystem"
    But then when i'm asking for $hostname he must give me back the hostname and if the hostname is 1 of the 24 locations then he need to create 2 vm's in Hyper-V with above info.
    Can you help me or do you have a script for this?

  • Crystal Reports 10 Compatibility with Windows Server 2008 R2

    Hello I'm a developer and I'm in the process of migrating my ASP.NET application that uses crystal reports 10 from a win2k3 server to a win2k8 R2 server.
    First of all, is CR 10 compatible with windows server 2008 R2?
    The application is up and running on the new server, the only thing that fails is the reports. I get the following error message:
    Error in file ....c:\windows\temp\{TEMP_FILE_NAME}.rtp
    Failed to create the Crystal Query Engine.
    This occurs at report.load(..)
    I did already grant NETWORK SERVICE access to Temp and ran the CR redistribute msi that came with Visual Studio 2008 - CRRedist2008_x64.msi.
    Please help

    YESSSS!!!! IT WORKS!!
    Finally, after days of installing, uninstalling, setting permissions, crawling through process monitor output.. I finally have it working.
    For anyone with the same problem, here's what worked for me:
    I had to use the 32-bit runtime
    set application pool to 32-bit
    grant the following permissions based on the different errors listed below:
    Error in File UNKNOWN.RPT
    - Give NETWORK SERVICE list permission on C: Drive, run a report, then remove NETWORK SERVICE from the list (weird, but works, and I had to do this every single time I setup Crystal Reports on a new computer so far).
    - You might also have to set correct permission on 'Temp' if u get still get this error.
    Error in file ....c:\windows\temp.rtp
    Failed to create the Crystal Query Engine
    - Grant correct permission to C:\Program Files (x86)\Business Objects (your path may vary)
    (For me it was giving Users Modify permission to Business Objects folder)
    Unknown Query Engine ErrorError in File C:\Windows\TEMP\.rpt:
    Unknown Query Engine Error
    - Switch application pool to 32-bit.
    - Make sure Crystal Reports Runtime is 32-bit (CRRedist2008_x86.msi)
    Thank you guys so much for all your help and sticking through this with me.

  • RDP audio issues with Windows Server 2008

    I have a server with an M-Audio 1010LT audio card installed, running audio playback software.  This software needs to stay running and playing at all times.
    We were previously running Windows Server 2003 and when we RDPed into the box for maintenance, we simply made sure that 'Leave at remote computer" was selected under Remote Desktop's sound settings.  This allowed us to control the console of the server while the audio continued to play through the server's audio card.
    Now, with Windows Server 2008, even with this option selected when we remote into this server all audio stops and Windows shows no available audio devices.  If I end my RDP session and phyically go to the server, I see the audio devices and am able to re-start the audio playback.
    Is this a bug, or something that has changed in 2008?  Any workarounds?
    Thanks

    Dear Folks,
    I would like to ask you about this thing. I'm working for IT department for bank in Myanmar. Our bank have up to 96 branches across all of Myanmar including H.O. We are using Microsoft SQL Server 2005 with Windows Server 2008 for our banking
    information system. My main problem is having to backup and restore the database backup files every time the servers in branches goes down for whatever reasons. I want to deploy this feature of high availability and failover cluster using Windows Server 2008
    and SQL Server 2005. Our branches have 2 Servers. One is for Primary and other is for Backup. What I want to do is that, I want to change Backup Server to Primary Server whenever the Primary Server goes down for whatever reasons. All the working data and databases
    from Primary will immediately replicated into Backup Server along with all the IP information of Primary Server. Please give me step by step guide for this process.

  • Oracle 8i compatible with Windows Server 2008?

    Does anyone know whether Oracle 8i can be run on Windows Server 2008? My organization has only a license for Oracle 8i and we're buying new servers coming with Windows Server 2008.
    Thank you, Chaiyong

    There is no such thing as a licence for "Oracle 8i" there is only a licence for Oracle. Do you mean that you're out of support ?
    In any event 8i is desupported.
    Best bet is to install P2V a VMware Windows 2000 and leave it at that.

  • RH Server 9 compatibility with Windows Server 2008 SP2/SQL Server

    Our tech support people are preparing for a first install of RH Server 9. They have asked me to find out whether there is a recent patch that would enable it to work with Windows Server 2008 SP2 64 bit and MS SQL Server 2008.
    If there is not yet a patch, will there be one for this OS/DB combination in the future, and when?
    This is in reference to the knowledgebase article at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/884/cpsid_88483.html which gives a "not recommended" status to this combination.
    Our infrastructure team would prefer to use this combination if it is possible.
    Second question from the tech team: Do we need to separate the RoboHelp application from the database or can they both reside on the same server?

    To answer your first question, no there is no patch to allow SQL Server 2008 to run on a 64 bit server. To answer your second question, I don't know. This is a user to user forum and therefore we are not party to any discussions on when or if a patch will be released. You could sumbit a feature request which the Adobe RoboHelp Product Manager will get. This will help advance your case. You can submit it here:

  • Issues with Windows Server 2008

    Hi,
       I am facing a issue with my PROD and DEVE systems. Initially I installed ECC6 SR3 on PROD with Windows Server 2008 and only ABAP stack as JAVA stack is not fully supported. Now I am planning to install DEVE server with Windows 2003 in which I will have both ABAP and JAVA stacks.
       I just wanted to know whether there will be any sort of communication or support issues between PROD and DEVE systems with such diverse configurations.
       Awaiting replies.

    >    I just wanted to know whether there will be any sort of communication or support issues between PROD and DEVE systems with such diverse configurations.
    No.
    You could even use HP-UX on the DEV system - as long as you're able to share a common directory to ensure transporting it's not a problem. Transports are OS and DB independent.
    However, memory management and security in Windows 2008 changed significantly, you may have to use different configurations for W2K8 vs. W2K3.

  • Time Machine doesn't work with Windows Server 2008

    At work we use a Windows Server running with Windows Server 2008 to backup our work via Time Machine. All my collegues are running Snow Leopard appart from on that runs under Leopard because it's a G5.
    A few weeks ago I installed Lion to try it before upgrading all the computer and found that time machine won't work. Apperantly I found that it is due to an AFP connection.
    Can anyone tell me if I can do anything apart from trying to use another Backup Software like Data Backup?
    Would really like to use Time Machine as it's SUPERB ;-)
    Regards

    Perhaps that drive is too small to use for Time Machine. Your Time Machine drive needs to be at least twice the size of the drive it is backing up, preferably 3 times.
