Windows Server 2012 not booting as a Hyper V guest

Hi all,
As always the best laid plans go to crap and so I need help from the best in the business, aka - all of you.
I am installing Windows 2012 Server Standard as a VM in Hyper V. I initially created it as a Vm in Server 2008 however for some reason the vm would not boot at a certain point . I installed the operating system fine from an ISO from the VLSC - rebooted fine
etc. As soon as I started to create roles (just IIS with .net 3.5 roles etc) - no directory services, its purely operating as a web and sql server... - at some point it wont boot. I start the VM, connect to it - get the windows 2012 splash screen however it
won't boot to the login screen. I can see CPU action for a period of time then NOTHING! - blank screen - no connection - no rdp.
I thought it was because of incompatibility between 2012 guest and 2008 host. So I upgraded the host to 2012 Hyper V Server Core (you know, the free one). That in itself was fine, all worked perfectly - all my 2008 Vm's are fine and operate well. I reinstalled
2012 Standard... Once again rebooted fine, however as soon as I added any roles or services (IIS) it just wont boot past the splash screen. I have installed VM guest drivers etc prior to installing roles and services - Nothing! Same behaviour, boots - see
splash - see CPU activity in Hyper V Manager, then nothing.
I can only think it's a driver issue perhaps or something wrong with the iso - however it does not explain why it boots fine then suddenly stops. Has anyone else experienced this? Anything I can try? I managed to install all updates etc before this happened.
I really dont want to keep re installing. I havent activated yet as I wanted to make sure it worked before I did if that is a factor?

Hi sounds very unusual, the only thing I can think of initially are the integration services installed, and is the network working correctly. if you have a Server physical or virtual on a domain, with network connectivity issues is can take an age to boot.
Try disabling the network adapter from the hardware settings and see if the Virtual server boots. if so, then you need to look at network side.
Also does you system have enough resource, IE, Ram, and CPU.
regards
Mark

  • Download Windows Server 2012 (not R2) evaluation copy

    Hi,
    If I try to download the windows server  2012 (not R2) evaluation copy from http://technet.microsoft.com/de-de/evalcenter/hh670538.aspx, I always get a  Windows 8 ISO (9200.16384.WIN8_RTM.120725-1247_X64FRE_SERVER_EVAL_DE-DE-HRM_SSS_X64FREE_DE-DE_DV5.ISO)
    Thats not that what I'm looking for. :-(
    I need to do some compatibility checking for server 2012, therefore I need the ISO image to install on a server.
    GReets
    Micha

    Hi Micha,
    I checked the download link and the ISO file name. It should be OK. As Tim mentioned, would you please
    let us confirm whether you had installed via this ISO file? After installation, did you find it was a Windows 8, not Windows Server 2012? Just a confirmation. Thanks for your understanding.
    In addition, if
    you use the link (English version) as Farhad suggested, will encounter the same issue?
    Best regards,

  • My 10.9.0.1 internal mac was ruined after the installation of Windows Server 2012 on boot camp

    Hi Everyone. I've been trying to install Windows Server 2012 on my boot camp. Well, soon after the 2012 was installed, my mac os 10.9.0.1 was ruined. When I pressed on the option key while the imac was booting, I can see the icon of "10.9.0.1 recovery". But after I chose it, the apple tried very hard to boot it up with a progress bar below the apple icon. The computer shut down itself after the progress bar reached the end. I've tried boot it up with the installation CD and tried to repair the Macintosh HD in Disk Uitilites but no use. It was said the hard drive cannot be repaired and better be reformat. Currently I can only boot up my mac from my SuperDuper external clone drive. Anyone could give me wise advices to fix this problem please?

    The "wise advices" I can offer are:
    Read the Boot Camp documentation before trying to reinstall Windows Server. Windows Server is not supported by Boot Camp
    Erase and reformat your hard drive. Reinstall OSx then restore your data from your backup.
    Use a virtual machine like Parallels, Fusion, or VirtualBox to install Windows Server

  • SharePoint Foundation 2013 installed on Windows Server 2012 not sending out email notification

    I have a server where i installed SP Foundation 2013 on top of Windows Server 2012. I have configured the SMTP as well as the outgoing SMTP in Central Administration
    of SharePoint. When i create an alert on a document library, its did not sent any email notification on the changes made to the document in the document library. So, i created a workflow to send out email using SPD2013. The workflow run, but it cannot sent
    out email with error saying that outgoing email is not configured correctly. I have checked with another server which i installed SP foundation 2013 on top of Windows Server 2008 R2 - its sending out email just fine using same configuration and outgoing SMTP.
    I need help to resolve this issue or at least the cause of the problem.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

         
    Try below:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/13771.troubleshooting-steps-for-sharepoint-alert-email-does-not-go-out.aspx
    Go to Central Admin ---->Operations----->outgoing email settings and verify that SMTP server is mentioned correctly 
    2) Test the connectivity with the SMTP server.
    In order to do that follow these steps:
      Open  cmd
      telnet <SMTP server name> 25 ( We connect smtp server to the port 25)  
                     you should see a response  like this 220 <servername> Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service, Version: 6.0.3790.3959 ready at date and time
                     Beware that different servers will come up with different settings but you will get something
                     If you dont get anything then there could be 2 possible reasons, either port 25 is blocked or 
                     the smtp server is not responding.
      For testing response from your server
                       For testing response say ehlo to it.
                            Type :
                                        ehlo <servername>
                            output:
                                        250 <servername> Hello [IP Address]
      Now a test mail can be sent from that SharePoint server. 
                          Now we need to enter the From address of the mail.
                          Type :
                           mail from: [email protected]
                           output:
                           250 2.1.0 [email protected]….Sender OK
     It's time to enter the recepient email address.
    Type : rcpt to: [email protected]
    output:
    250 2.1.5 [email protected]
     Now we are left with the data of the email. i.e. subject and body.
    Type : data
    output:
    354 Start mail input; end with <CRLF>.<CRLF>
    Type:
    subject: this is a test mail
    Hi
    This is test mail body
    I am testing SMTP server.
    Hit Enter, then . and then Enter.
    output:
    250 2.6.0 <<servername>C8wSA00000006@<servername>> Queued mail for delivery
    Type: quit
    output:
    221 2.0.0 <servername> Service closing transmission channe
    3)  Check alerts are enabled for your web application
          verify if the windows timer service is running or not.
          Run this stsadm command to check that
          Stsadm.exe -o getproperty -url http://SharePoint-web-App-URL -pn alerts-enabled
         This should return <Property Exist="Yes" Value="yes" />
         If you don’t get this, Enable alerts by:
         stsadm.exe -o setproperty -pn alerts-enabled -pv "true" -url http://SharePoint-web-App-URL
          If its already enabled, try turn off and turn on it back.
    4)  Check the Timer job and Properties
           Go to
           MOSS 2007:  Central Administration > Operations > Timer Job Definitions (under Global Configuration)
           In SharePoint 2010: Central Administration > Monitoring > Review Job Definitions 
           Check whether the "Immediate Alerts" job is enabled for your web application. check these properties:
                       job-immediate-alerts
                       job-daily-alerts 
                       job-weekly-alerts
           stsadm.exe -o getproperty -url "http://Your-SharePoint-web-App-URL" -pn job-immediate-alerts
           The expected output is:
           <Property Exist="Yes" Value="every 5 minutes between 0 and 59"/>.  
           If you don’t get this, run the following command to set its value.
           stsadm.exe -o setproperty -pn job-immediate-alerts -pv “every 5 minutes between 0 and 59" -url http://Your-SharePoint-web-App-URL
    5)  Check whether the account is subscribed for alerts and it has a valid email account. This should be the first thing to check if the problem persists for some users not for      all.
    6)  Then check if at all those users have at least read permission for the list. Because the first mail should go out for every user without security validation but the next ones       won't be delivered unless the user has at least read
    permission.
    7)  If it is happening for one user, can also try to delete and re add the user in the site.
    8)  Most importantly , you should try this one.
          Run this SQL query to the content db < Select * from Timerlock>
          This will give you the name of the server which is locking the content database and since when.
          In order to get rid of that lock 
          Go to that server which is locking the content db and then restart the windows timer service.
          within some time it should release the lock from content db, if not then at the most stop the timer job for some time
          Once the lock will be released then try to send some alerts
          You will surely get the email alert.
    I found this is the most probable reason for alert not working most of the time. We should start troubleshooting with above steps before coming to this step for any alert email issue but from step 1 to step 7 are best for new environments or new servers.
    If the issue is like this ,alert was working before and suddenly stopped working without any environmental change then above conditions in step 1-7 should be ideally fine.
    Even after this if it is not working, then you can try these few more steps too
    9)  Try re-registering the alert template:
    stsadm -o updatealerttemplates -url http://Your-SharePoint-Web-App-URL -f  "c:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\XML\alerttemplates.xml" -LCID 1033
    10)  Try to clear the configuration cache
    If this helped you resolve your issue, please mark it Answered

  • Windows Server 2012 High Memory Utilization(Three Hyper-V Instance Configure in this Server For Lync)

    Hello There,
    Issue: High Memory Utilization in Below Scenario. Pl. See the below configuration of Win 12 Server
    Pl. see for committed memory bytes . m little bit confused that about committed memory
    OS: Windows Server 2012
    Memory: Total 24 GB Free:1.3 GB Committed:27.6 GB
    App Configure: Three Hyper V Instances Configure For Lync Server 2013
    Pls provide me solution on this issue

    Virtual memory system.  Committed memory is the physical memory for which space has been reserved in the disk paging file.  So, you are paging, which is quite common in virtual memory systems.
    On a completely different topic.  Lync is an application that works best on real cores.  Most systems are configured by default to use hyperthreading.  Hyperthreading increases the logical processor count on a system and logical processors
    are treated equally.  Since a hyperthread 'core' (logical processor) performs at a small fraction of a real core (logical processor), if you are running VMs that work best with real cores, it is best to change your BIOS on the Hyper-V host to disable
    hyperthreading, sometimes called simultaneous multithreading (SMT).

  • Windows Server 2008 not booting (\windows\system32\winload.exe - Status: 0xc000000e)

    i have a Hp Server with two HDDs configured RAID 1 and installed Win Server 2008, after a power failure it is not booting and showing start up error Status: 0xc000000e.
    tried all the methods showing on the same error page, when i am trying with CMD from Window DVD (repair option) i am getting only X:\ drive, it is not showing my C:\ and D:\. when i use Windows 7 DVD (just for troubleshoot) and select new install option,
    it is showing my C:\ and D:\ with my correct Disk Usage and Free space, (so, my Data and Windows is available)
    i saw lots of way to fix the issue, but without accessing to C:\ drive, how can i fix it? please anyone can help on this?

    Hi,
    0xC000000E, or STATUS_NO_SUCH_DEVICE: the drive went unavailable, possibly a bad hard drive, disk array, and/or controller card.
    Please also contact your hardware vendor HP to check the health of your hard disks.

  • Upgrade from ADFS 2.1 to ADFS 3.0 and stay on Windows Server 2012 (not R2)

    Hello,
    could you tell me if this is possible? We need to stay on the same OS 2012 (not R2)?
    Are the 2 versions compatible, i.e if we upgrade the secondary to ADFS 3.0 will the primary on ADFS 2.1 still sync to it, and will the farm respond on either host?
    Thanks,
    Tim

    The upgrade procedure is described here: http://blogs.technet.com/b/askpfeplat/archive/2014/03/31/how-to-build-your-adfs-lab-part4-upgrading-to-server-2012-r2.aspx

    he computer has rebooted from a bugcheck.  The bugcheck was: 0x00000019 (0x0000000000000024, 0x00000000000000f2, 0x0000000000000001, 0xfffffa800b9ba6c0). A dump was saved in: C:\Windows\MEMORY.DMP. Report Id: 072314-20248-01.
    The Windows has generated a MEMORY.dump which is ~570MB in size. Is it possible to analyze the MEMORY.dump and find the cause for a server reboot.
    Can you please someone help me to narrow down the root cause of this issue and how to avoid this issue in the future.

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply. I analyses the the MEMORY.DMP using the WinDbg. Provided the debug output below. Will this help you to narrow down the root cause and let me know if any similar issue faced by someone else.

  • Windows Server 2012 R2 boots in CMD after several Restarts

    Hi,
    I have been facing this problem after i installed some applications on the server and after we did several restarts the server boots up only in cmd.
     I am very sure that i installed the OS with GUI since i have logged in with it while i am installing the application.

    If you are not in Safe Mode, then you are using Server Core. 
    As mentined earlier, see
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/yungchou/archive/2014/01/16/windows_2d00_server_2d00_2012_2d00_r2_2d00_installation_2d00_options_2d00_and_2d00_features_2d00_on_2d00_demand_2d00_part_2d00_4_2d00_of_2d00_5.aspx

  • DirectAccess Client not connecting without error code on Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows 8.1

    Hello,
    we are currently migrating from Windows Server 2012 to 2012 R2 and are not able to get the new Direct Access Service up and running. Our goal is to establish DirectAccess connection for a handful of clients using the IPHTTPS-adapter on the default port 443.
    Errors:
    There is actually no error showing up. It seems the infrastructure tunnel cannot be created but none of the IPv6-transition adapters is connecting (teredo and 6-to-4 are down) and the IPHTTPs adapter gives no informations about a problem:
    >Get-DAConnectionStatus
    Status    : Error
    Substatus : CouldNotContactDirectAccessServer
    >Get-NetIPHttpsState
    LastErrorCode   : 0x0
    InterfaceStatus : Failed to connect to the IPHTTPS server; waiting to reconnect
    Setup:
    Our setup is a virtualized Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard running on Hyper-V. It is located behind a NAT having the Port 443 mapped to the server. The only role installed after the basic install is RRAS including DirectAccess and VPN. The assistants completed
    successfully (running the configuration for DirectAccess and VPN). Operation Status says everything is green und working (for multiple days in the meanwhile). A previous direct access installation (on a different machine running Windows Server 2012) has
    been removed before installing the new server. The new installation is using a different router, so this might also be the cause of a problem.
    The client is a Windows 8.1 notebook located outside the company network accessing the internet through another NAT-device. The client has been able to connect to the previous DirectAccess setup but has never been able to establish a connection after the
    setup of the new Direct Access server. The device has no outbound constraints concerning the NAT-device and is only running the integrated Windows Firewall.
    Diagnosis:
    So far I've done some basic DNS and connectivity checks. The DNS-name can be resolved correctly and the router even responds to pings. The port forward is working and HTTPs connections are generally possible (temporarily routed the port to
    access the NLS-Website located on the server, which worked fine).
    Network monitor shows that both computers are communicating, traffic on the expected Port 443 is incoming on the server and responses from the server reach the client.
    Opening the IPHTTPs-url and in an endless page load. Sometime the browser page closes but I've never seen any result. Using telnet on the port shows that the server is accepting connections. I've even build a small test application that does a GET-Request
    on the URL returning HTTP-200 and no content.
    I'm currently running out of ideas what to do and since no error occurs this is kind of a bit frustrating. Any help appreciated.
    Regards
    Matthias

    Hi,
    In addition, have you disabled the DA client components on the DA client? If no, please also check
    the settings on the Name Resolution Policy Table.

    In addition, error 0x4C9 means the remote computer refused the network connection. It may be due to the invalid
    registry or corrupt drivers. For more detailed information, please refer to the link below:

  • Windows Server 2012 Windows Backup failed with following error code '0x8078006B' (Windows Backup failed to create the shared protection point on the source volumes.).

    The Volume Shadow Copy service initially was running under the context of System, so we thought that ‘System’ doesn’t have permissions to access network shares. 
    When the Volume Shadow Copy service was running under the context of System, this was the error logged:
    “failed with following error code '0x8078014B' (There was a failure in creating a directory on the backup storage location.).”
    Which is likely due to not having permissions to write to the network location. 
     This is a scheduled backup trying to write to a network location, so we changes the service to run under the context of an account that does have permissions to write to the network share.
      Then the error changed to this:
    “failed with following error code '0x8078006B' (Windows Backup failed to create the shared protection point on the source volumes.).”

    We aren’t really seeing anything that gives any hint on what the issue is. 
    Any ideas?  Thanks in advance!

    We are trying to back up folders/files from 2 local drives (C: & D:), both of which have only 10% space used, and 100 GB free. 
    We are attempting to back the files up to a Remote Shared File (and there is 100+ GB free space out there). 
      If we try another network location, we receive the exact same error. 
     This is Windows Server 2012, not running Hyper-V and is a physical server not a VM.
    Thank you for the link.

  • Can't add drivers to Server 2012 R2 boot image in WDS

    Hi all.
    I want to use my "old" Windows Server 2012 (not R2), WDS to deploy new R2 servers but i can't add driver package to the R2 boot image, it comes out with error code: 0xc0000135 no matter what drivers i use.
    Without network drivers i can't boot the image on my physical servers, i've tried on a virtual machine where it works just fine.
    I can't use the old boot image to install R2, then it comes with error: "Windows could not apply unattend settings during pass [offlineServicing]." when it tries to install it on both virtual and physical servers.
    My initial thought is that the WDS server has to be on a R2 server but i can't find anything that proofs that.
    Can someone confirm that non R2 WDS is not supported to R2 or does anyone have an idea to a solution?
    Thank you in advance.

    Okay maybe not a solution but i installed a new WDS server on R2 and then there was no problem adding driver package to to boot image.
    So i was able to confirm my theory that it's not supported to deploy R2 from a non-R2 WDS server. If anyone can make it work please let me know but until then i think this is the only way.
    If I understand your description of the issue, the problem is that you are trying to update a WinPE 5.0 WIM with a version of the ADK that services WinPE 4.0 images.  Installing the new Windows Server 2012 R2 server caused SCCM to use the version of the
    ADK that services WinPE 5.0 images.  You should be able to deploy them fine from the other server, but you can only service them from the new one.  You will not be able to service the older WinPE 4.0 images from the new server either.
