Windows Pro 8.1 Hyper-V enabled - cannot connect to Virtual Machines

I'm running Windows Pro 8.1. Virtualization is enabled in BIOS. Account is in Admin, Hyper-V, RDP groups. I open Hyper-V manager. Create a new Virtual Switch (internal) and name it. Then create a new virtual machine - name it, place it in a folder under
C:, Specify Generation (tried both 1 and 2), startup memory 512mb not dynamic, Lan- select the virtual switch created earlier, create an vhdx hard disk, and install the O.S. from an ISO on C. Creates the new VM under Virtual Machines.
I select the new VM, click connect, then start. A window opens with the new VM on server and says it's connecting to it and it's status is Running. In the Hyper-V manager in the New Virtual Machine pane (bottom pane) it shows a image that
appears to have a login screen. The VM window that displays the "Connection to" eventually throws an error : Virtual machine connection: Cannot connect to the virtual machine, Try to connect again. contact your admin, Try again etc. selecting connect
eventually errors out with check integration services etc. I've read the logs, there are no errors. When I try to shut down or turn off the vm it doesn't respond. I've configured this before on different boxes. It's the work environment for the MCSA 70-462
training kit Preparation. any direction would be greatly appreciated.

That is correct. This has been well documented.
The WMI namespace changed. 2008 and 2008 R2 now of the v1 virtualization namespace. 2012 knows of both v1 and v2. And 2012 R2 only knows the v2 virtualization namespace.
That said, there is more to this.
2008 management console only knows 2008 features. So if you connect it to a 2012 server to manage the 2012 server, you cannot manage any of the features released with 2008 R2 nor 2012.
So, take this second point, mix it with the first point and I recommend that your management server / client release matches the release of the Server you are managing.

Client Hyper-V "Cannot Connect to Virtual Machine"

I'm trying to run Client Hyper-V on my Windows 8 Pro machine. I was able to successfully install the service, and can create virtual machines and hard disks on my local system. I can even start them, and see boot activity via the preview window in the MMC.
I cannot, however, connect to any machines from the local system: when I do, it hangs on "Connecting to <machinename>" for 30 seconds before it pops up with the dialog:
"Cannot connect to virtual machine. Try to connect again. If the problem persists, contact your system administrator."
Obviously, because this is Client Hyper-V, I am the system administrator, so I scour the Internet to solve my problem. I see solutions related to firewalls, administrative permissions, a few other things, and nothing has worked. I also tried creating
a virtual machine on a Windows 8 Enterprise system (which can connect to it just fine) and export it for the Pro machine to import, and I still cannot connect to it, whether the VM is registered in place or copied to the host.
Some other notes:
- None of these systems has an OS installed - two locally created ones either had no boot or booted off a Linux LiveCD, and the exported one attempted to do a PXE boot. Thus, I cannot attempt to link via Remote Desktop since the computers have no names
- Hyper-V has some other quirks on my system as well: in order to stop a virtual machine, I have to end the vmwp process - which restarts the machine - and then stop it from the console within a few seconds. Otherwise, it hangs in the "Stopping"
state. In addition, none of the buttons on the side of the MMC work, but that occurs over all of MMC.
- No events show up in the Event log when a connection fails
- I am an admin on the Pro machine and have permissions to connect to machines and operate the management view

When you checked the event log’s what sources did you check?
Can you verify there are not any relevant error/warning events under the following sources:
Applications and Services Logs
Microsoft
Windows
Hyper-V-VMMS
Admin
Operational
Hyper-V-Worker
Admin
Operational
If not we should enable some additional logging if possible to see what is going on.
Shutdown any running VM’s
Close all of the Hyper-V UI
Stop the VMMS service (net stop vmms)
Enable Analytic logging for the VMMS and Worker Process (see below)
Enable UI Tracing for Hyper-V Manager and VMConnect (see below)
Start the VMMS service (net start vmms)
Open Hyper-V Manger
Restart the VM
Attempt to connect (try two or three times)
Gather Logs (see below)
Disable Tracing (see below)
Enabling Analytic Logging For the VMMS and Worker Process
Open the Event Viewer
From the menu bar select View -> Show Analytic and Debug Logs
Navigate to the Hyper-V logs and Enable the Analytic Channels

Hyper-V-VMMS
Analytic
Right Click -> Enable (yes if a pop up asks about enabling the logs)
Hyper-V-Worker
Analytic
Right Click -> Enable (yes if a pop up asks about enabling the logs)
Enabling UI Tracing
Create a new text file named “VMClientTrace.config” in the "%appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Hyper-V\Client\1.0\” folder
Copy the following XML text into that file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
    <Microsoft.Virtualization.Client.TraceConfigurationOptions>
        <setting name="TraceTagFormat" type="System.Int32">

            <value>71</value>
        </setting>
    </Microsoft.Virtualization.Client.TraceConfigurationOptions>
</configuration>
Save the file.
Gathering The Logs
The Analytic logs will be in the analytic folder (you often have to refresh or select another source then analytic again to see them)
The UI trace Logs will be in %temp% (sometime back one directory i.e. %temp% = “C:\Users\taylorb\AppData\Local\Temp\2” for me but the logs are at “C:\Users\taylorb\AppData\Local\Temp”
Disabling Tracing
To disable Analytic Tracing just right click on the analytic sources and select disable (same as enabling)
To disable UI tracing just delete the “%appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Hyper-V\Client\1.0\VMClientTrace.config” file.

Cannot connect to virtual machine in hyper-v

One of our servers got corrupted and I managed to salvage the VHDs of the two VMs we were running on it. The server was Win Serv 2003 and was running virtual server.
Now I'm trying to import the VHDs into Hyper-V on a newer 2008-R2 server and while the VM seemed to import just fine I cannot connect to it. Each time I try it gives me this error:
"Cannot connect to the virtual machine. Try to connect again. If the problem persists, contact your system administrator."
I think the issue could be that the VM was apart of a domain and now I'm trying to connect with a server that is on a different domain and has a different DNS.
Is there anyway I can save this VM and not have to start from scratch?

Hi,
Is Windows Server 2003 is a DC? Is there a backup DC for Windows server 2003 if it is a DC?
If you logon with domain account, you cannot connect to the origin domain if you don't have DC or you haven't restored DC. To fix this issue, you can restore Windows 7 to the point when windows 7 doesn't domain if you have such a restore point.
Also, if you have DC and still connect to the virtual machine, i recommend you to log on the Windows 7 client with local adminstrator , disjoin from origin domain, then re-join the domain. At last, it will work well.

Windows Pro upgrade with Hyper-V for Windows App development

Hi
I am just starting to develop my first windows phone app. I dowloaded Visual studio 2013 express on my windows 8 machine. I started to follow the Microsoft Virtual Academy, Develop Windows phone apps for Beginners with Bob Tabor.
Anyway, when i try to run the Emulator, it tells me i need Hyper-V which my version of windows doesn't have. Apparently i need Windows Professional. Anyway, this costs about £100 to upgrade. Also, for the emulator i am told i need 4gb of RAM.
Question 1: My laptop is an i5, 64bit machine, windows 8.1 normal edition, with 4gb of RAM. It says of which 3.88gb of ram is usable. Whatever that means?
The minimum requirement for the emulator is 4gb, will it work on my machine which apparently has 3.88 ?
Question 2: I already own a nokia windows 8.1 phone. A basic enough model. Instead of buying the upgrade for windows pro, is it a big hassle to run my test apps on that phone? How difficult is it to run a test build of an app on my phone? Can i run it via
the inside of visual studio? Or do i need to go to file explorer, copy and paste files over to the phone, disconnect it from the laptop etc. How many steps are involved? If its a load of hassle i might be safer to just bite the bullet and buy the Windows pro
upgrade.
(although i am aware the emulator can't test some things that the actual phone can..eg near field communication etc.)
Any advice?
Regards
Conor

It's not that big of a hassle to debug your app by deploying it on your phone. It's just a matter of choosing Device instead of Emulator when you start debugging in VS.
Some of the downsides are that your phone's screen must be on and not showing the lock screen, and the fact that you can only have a maximum of 2 apps installed on your phone for debugging purposes. If you start developing and debugging a third app, then
you must first uninstall one of the other 2 apps to be able to deploy the third app to your phone. To my knowledge the emulator does not have such a limit. I believe there's a paid developer account option available somewhere if you want to raise the limit
beyond 2 apps.
Other than that, being tied to a single resolution as Dave mentioned is another downside to using a device.

Win8 pro, hyper-v: error while connecting on local machine "an authentication error has occurred" "the supplied handle is invalid"

Subject host OS: windows 8 pro.
I've turned os feater hyper-v on, restarted copmuter. In hyper-v manager added empty virtual machine. After double clikcing on my newly created machine windows with "virtual michine connection appeered". I turned button "power on" and
console has dropped error:
"remote desktop connection": "An authentication error has occurred. The supplied handle is invalid."
on the tiny image on the left bottom picture a can see quest console.
1) How can i install OS on my guest, where is default console for virtual machine?
2) What is RDP required
for on this firts stage of installation and how can i connect to the virtual machine console without it???

Hi,
Regarding your first question, here is an article talking about install and configure the first virtual machine in Hyper-V, please refer to Step 2: Create a virtual machine and Step 3: Install the guest operating system in the below link:
Install Hyper-V and Configure a Virtual Machine
By saying the default console for Virtual machine, do you mean the Hyper-V manager?
The error might indicate that there is no VM available to connect. After we installed a OS, then we could connect it with the right-click in Hyper-V manager， see:
Connect to a Virtual Machine
The RDP connections is used to connect the VM in Windows 8, and for Windows 8.1, there are great improvements including what's called Enhanced Session Mode, more information, please see:
Overview: Client Hyper-V Enhanced Session Mode in Windows 8.1
If I misunderstand something, please let me know.

MacBook Pro, iPad IV and iPhone 4S Cannot Connect to Server

I have a MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion 10.8.5, and an iPad IV, both less than three months old. I also have a pair of iPhone 4s's.
All of a sudden none of them can reliably connect to our AT&T Wireless home internet. There are particular websites we are blocked from viewing, notably any apple website, including apple.com, apple support, itunes, and App store, but also random ones like Wikipedia and others. We constantly get the "cannot connect to server" message. Yet other websites load right up with no problem.
Many websites are seriously snarled up, particularly Ebay, which is a critical one for me to have quick access to. Ebay screens are scrambled and out of order, act like purchases are being made when they're not, and photos don't show. All we get is little blue questionmarks.
Multiple PCs running on our home network work just fine, and we can get into any website with them. But ANY apple product is just stymied. We can turn off wifi on the phones, and get into websites with 3g, but as soon as the wife is turned back on, we're back to square one.
Nothing has changed on our network recently, although we did get a new router about three months ago after having consistent outages. I have noticed our wifi getting glitchier and slower as time goes by, but again, it affects the Apple products, until it just went totally haywire last week.
My husband gets wifi at work just fine, and I am accessing wifi quickly and accurately on the MBP at this very moment on a museum network.
The issue seems to be the AT&T home network, and very specifically with the full line of Apple products.
Any clean and easy suggestions? I don't want to have to jump through hoops on four different products, and I now suspect it's something to do with AT&T?

Pleeeeeeease. Somebody? Anybody?
I can't get into Facebook, or Ebay on my MacBook. Life is too short to weep and lose hair over computers. Surely there's a quick fix I just haven't thought of?

When you say "her email address" do you mean that you set up a separate Apple ID for her using her email address as her Apple ID? If so, was it ever verified by Apple? Did she get the email verification?

Hyper-V - 'Failed to start the virtual machine 'test' because one of the Hyper-V components is not running.'

Hi all,
Having a bit of a nightmare with Hyper-V on my Windows 8 Pro laptop - Whenever I create a new VM and try to start it I receive the following error;
'Failed to start the virtual machine 'test' because one of the Hyper-V components is not running.'
I sometimes also receive an error saying something along the lines of 'Unable to change virtual machine state'
I have done a lot of searching a seen two common answers - The first is to try removing the Hyper-V role and re-adding it - I have tried this several times to no avail. (Intel VT and all virtualisation capabilities are enabled in BIOS). The second issue
it would seem
some people have had relates to editing the VMX configuration file and adding the line
hypervisor.cpuid.v0 = "FALSE" - I thought VMX files were only present in VMware Virtual Machines...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.
James

The hypervisor event log message is generated only at boot - so this would be expected. Also vmbus should not be running on the host (I was looking at a VM yesterday)... This error message is generated only when the vid is determined not to be
running or cannot communicate with the hypervisor.
I have seen this due to anti-virus software in the past or due to driver verifier being configured. Since it looks like you checked driver verifier already do you have anti-virus software installed? If so have you followed the best practices
and exempted the Hyper-v services?
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd283088(WS.10).aspx
To resolve this problem, configure the real-time scanning component within your antivirus software to exclude the following directories and files:
Default virtual machine configuration directory (C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Hyper-V)
Custom virtual machine configuration directories
Default virtual hard disk drive directory (C:\Users\Public\Documents\Hyper-V\Virtual Hard Disks)
Custom virtual hard disk drive directories
Custom replication data directories, if you are using Hyper-V Replica
Snapshot directories
Vmms.exe (Note: This file may have to be configured as a process exclusion within the antivirus software.)
Vmwp.exe (Note: This file may have to be configured as a process exclusion within the antivirus software.)

Hyper-V 2012 removing replication on virtual machine

Hi all
If you remove replication from a virtual machine how long does this take to update the replication partner? Is there a best practice for removing?
I have a three node and two node cluster running on Windows 2012. I removed replication from a VM and the partner still shows replication enabled.
Thanks in advance.
Craig
Craig Brand

Hi Craig,
Based on my understanding , if we need to remove the replica we may need to remove replica on primary and replica hyper-v host / site .

Is it possible to install and run Windows Server 2008 on a Mac Mini Server in a Virtual Machine software like Parallels

I am wondering if it is possible to install and run Windows Server 2008 on a Mac Mini Server as a VM as my main application uses Windows VisualBasic and Fox Pro and requires a Static IP to connect to it, My other offices connects to Windows Server via RDP.
Basically I am researching a Server for the same purpose and since Mac Mini and OsX both are robust in nature it can fit the bill if every thing work fine.
Thanks

From the Parallels website:
32-bit Operating Systems
Windows 8 with: Windows 8, 8.1 (when available)
Windows 7 SP1
Windows Vista SP0, SP1, SP2
Windows Server 2008 R2, SP2, SP1, SP0
64-bit Operating Systems
Windows 8
Windows 7 SP1
Windows Vista SP0, SP1, SP2
Windows Server 2012
Windows Server 2008 R2, SP2, SP1, SP0
I do suggest that you upgrade RAM to at least 8gig
if you haven't already.
FWIW, I currently use Win8/64 bit with Parallels on a 2011 Mini Server
using the windows environment for engineering applications and have
had no issues. I am running Mountain Lion but do not have the
Server app installed.

Cannot create guest virtual machine with Solaris 10 SPARC in Oracle VM 2.2

Dear All,
I try many times to create guest virtual machine with Solaris 10 SPARC but not get success.
When I created it already and then I start the Power On button, it run normally but the Console button cannot click on (hide). After that the virtual machine running abit then it change status to Powered Off.
Please kindly give advice for this.
Thanks and regards,
Heng

I storgly doubt, VMware player is available for Solaris 10 SPARC version.
Solaris 10 is not a comercial product, like ubuntu, windows, MAC etc... It's really for a server.
That's the reason still I hate Solaris 11 as a desktop. You have very limited product/software.... This may change for Solaris 11, but U can't expect one for Solaris 10.

Cannot open 2 Virtual Machines at the same time to access the same Database

Folks,
Hello.
I am installing Oracle Database 11gR2 RAC system using 2 Virtual Machines (rac1 and rac2) on the top of VMPlayer 3.
The VM rac1 and rac2 run correctly when one of them is shutdown.
Their locations are F:\VM_RAC\rac1 and F:\VM_RAC\rac2.
While rac2 is running, I open rac1. But this error message comes up:
Error: "Cannot open the disk F:\VM_RAC\sharerac\asm1.vmdk or one of snapshot disks it depends on. Reason: failed to lock the file."
While rac1 is running, I open rac2. But this error message comes up:
Error: "Cannot open the disk F:\VM_RAC\sharerac\asm1.vmdk or one of snapshot disks it depends on. Reason: failed to lock the file."
The 2 error messages are the same. This means I cannot open 2 VMs rac1 and rac2 at the same time. When we run RAC system, we have to open 2 machines or more than 2 machines at the same time so that all machines can access the same Database Server.
My question is:
Can any folk tell me how to have rac1 and rac2 run at the same time ?
Thanks.

You need to disable disk locking, which ordinarily is performed by the first VM to prevent any other VMs from corrupting your vmdk files via uncoordinated writes. You will have to shutdown both of your VMs and edit the *.vmx flat file for each, adding lines like the following (settings taken from workstation 6, but should be nearly identical settings for VM Player 3.x):
http://crosbysite.blogspot.com/2007/10/clustering-in-vmware-workstation-6.html
scsi1.sharedbus = "Virtual"
disk.locking = "false"
diskLib.dataCacheMaxSize = "0"
diskLib.dataCacheMaxReadAheadSize = "0"
diskLib.dataCacheMinReadAheadSize = "0"
diskLib.dataCachePageSize = "4096"
diskLib.maxUnsyncedWrites = "0"
A few comments:
- your shared disks (scsi1) must be on a separate virtual scsi bus than the boot disk (scsi0), to allow setting the sharedbus flag as seen above.
- you must also ensure the cache parameters and unsynced writes settings are set to guarantee that all IO is immediately flushed to the vmdk file so the other VM can immediately access the latest version of data.
