Asking for driver when install Hyper-V 2012 r2

Hi,
I'm trying to install the Hyper-V server by using the DVD image from MS but it keep asking for the drivers. I tried different drivers but none of them work (Win7, Win8, Win8.1). Any idea??
(I'm installing the server to a normal PC with i5 4GB) Does it has any special requirement to have it installed?? I tried the VMWare without any problem.
Thanks. 

I completed an installation of Hyper-V Server 2012 R2 to a VM with no network card.  So I can't see that a network card is an issue for the installation.  A physical machine with no NIC would even work fine for VMs that only need to communicate
among themselves or with the host.  Obviously without a network card, the VMs would never be able to reach outside the host, but it would work fine.
If you downloaded the copy from Microsoft, you have a valid copy.  If you got it from someplace else, it's anybody's guess as to what you have.  Where did you get your copy?  Have you tried a different copy?  I know you have said you
have successfully installed Windows Server 2012 R2 on this box, which says that Hyper-V Server 2012 R2 should install, too.  Have you tried installing with your current media to any other physical (or virtual) platform to validate you have a good copy
of the media?  Maybe you have corrupted media?  The fact that you are getting a request to for drivers at the point you are indicating is very, very strange.  I have never seen an installation ask for drivers.  I have installed many times
on machines with devices that have no drivers on the installation media and I have to provide them during installation.  But I had to manually request to load the drivers - otherwise the installation simply did not see a partition for installation.
You mention that you want to compare it to vSphere.  That is not quite an apples-to-apples comparison.  In order to compare it to vSphere, you would need to include Microsoft's System Center products.  Remember that Hyper-V is Microsoft's
hypervisor, just like ESXi is VMware's hypervisor.  vSphere includes all sorts of additional purchased components they added on to be more competitive with System Center.  If you compare hypervisor to hypervisor, you would find the Hyper-V comes
with a lot more.  For example, Hyper-V includes HA for no additional cost.  You have to purchase vSphere to get that from VMware.  And the list goes on, but this is a bit of a tangent.

  • Windows 7 64-bit ask for validation; when installing itunes?????

    I bought a new computer. It has the 64 bit verion of windows 7. when i download the installer it responds with "The installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid windows installer"
    Please help i relly want to use my itouch?!!!

    Have you used Windows Update to update Win 7 fully?
    sometimes it takes a day for Windows validation to go through, then you can update.
    Have you installed a anti-virus yet?
    Microsoft Security Essentials and Avast are free (but Avast nags for money, makes noise and MSE doesn't)

I saved the outer box, but I do not see a serial number and it is asking for it when I am trying to install the CD software.

  • Hi, I forgot my user password mac 10.9.4 I don't need it to log in but i need it to make changes, etc. It says a password hasn't been set for this account but it still asks for one when i click on the lock icon. can anyone help me? thx!

    This is a little confusing since you say you have forgotten your password and then the system says you have not entered a password.  Even with an Admin account you must have a password to install software.
    If you are using Mac OS X 10.7 or above, you can change the admin password by restarting holding the Command and R keys, from the menu bar select Utilities, then Terminal.  When the Terminal window opens, at the cursor type exactly:
    resetpassword
    and press Enter.  When the Reset Password window opens, select the internal hard drive, and then the user account.  Type a new password twice, leave the Hint blank, and then Save.  Accept the next dialog that opens, and at the bottom of the Reset Password window agree to resetting the home directory permissions.
    Quit the Reset Password window, go to the apple left side of the menu bar, Restart.
    And you have a new password for your account.

  • HT5858 Why does my iPad and iPhone ask for verification when downloading free apps

    What does my iPad ask for verification when trying to download free app from App Store

    You are required to provide credit card details to download apps be it free or paid.
    Nothing will be deducted from your credit card if the app is free.
    There will be a authorizing hold of US$1.00 to verify your account information. It will be credited back to your account later.

    I was trying to buy an app from the apple store, it asked for confirmation , when I re-entered my credit card details, got the message that your payment method is not valid!!!! How can I fix this problem?

    Is this a pre-paid card thing? Or different billing address than your iTS account?

    Hi,
    I created a pdf form by Adobe LiveCycle, inside, there is a button that you can click it and export the data(not script) of PDF to xml file. So I don't need to save the PDF form again.
    I try to edit my form by adobe reader, after I fill in some fields and close it, a window jumps out and asks if I want to save the changes, So how can I avoid this window?
    Thanks!

  • Firefox keeps asking for password when I send emails

    Firefox version 35.0. When I open Firefox and get messages, no problems. When I write an email and send, Firefox asks me for password. I am able to send/receive emails while open. If I close Firefox and open, it asks for password when I send. Months ago, I changed my login password to Netzero.com (made it more secure). Since then, I've had this annoying password request. How to satisfy the login server password for receiving/sending emails?

    Is it Firefox asking for the password, or the web site? The only time that
    FF will ask for a password is if you have the '''Master Password''' active
    in the '''Password Manager.'''
    Open the '''Password Manager.''' There is a search bar at the top of the
    page. Enter the name of the site. Press the button '''Show Passwords.'''
    Is the information correct? '''Note:''' there may be more then one entry.
    '''Left''' click the icon in the address bar. A window for displaying site information should come up. Select '''More Information.''' At the top of the window, select '''Security.''' Now select '''View Saved Passwords.'''

  • TS1389 My PC repeatedly asks for authorization when I open I-tunes library, I have tried ALL the suggestions in help, but to no avail.  Anyone got another remedy I could try please?

    My PC repeatedly asks for authorization when opening I-tunes library (wont let me play tunes), have tried ALL the suggestions to remedy authorization but to no avail.  Anyone got any other suggestions I could try please?  I would have thought I-tunes itself should come up with a precise answer to this sort of problem after all this time??

    From the menu bar, select
     ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Network
    Click the Assist me button and select Assistant. Follow the prompts. You may get a warning that Wi-Fi is not available, that you're too far from the base station, or that you're using the wrong password.
    Assuming that you've ruled out those possibilities, click the lock icon in the lower left corner of the preference pane and authenticate, if necessary. From the Location menu at the top of the window, select Edit Locations. A sheet will drop down. Click the plus-sign button to create a new location. Give it any name you want. In the new location, set up the Wi-Fi service with the same settings you used before. Click Apply and test.

  • MS Office 2011 asks for license when I boot external eSATA drives

    This is interesting, and really frustrating to say the least. I finally got Office 2011 working on my new MP, no thanks to MS. I spent over 8 hours on the phone, getting disconnected multiple times, and no one I spoke with could tell me why the darn thing kept asking for and not accepting as valid my product key. This was after I transferred the user and applications from a Time Capsule backup to my new MP. I completely removed Office, reinstalled, and then imported an Outlook OLM I had exported. It took the product key and all has been well until now. I have run Disk Utility permissions several times....
    I installed an OWC eSATA two port card and attached their two HD enclosure containing two drives. Power them up, they work great, but now when I boot Outlook or any of the applications in the suite, up pops the license window.... ugh. Eject both drives, still fails. Power off the enclosure, they all work. The only thing I can figure it is, is the license protection thinking I installed it on a different machine. So now I'm stuck with Office not working when the external eSATA is on.
    I thought about attempting to enter the license when they were running, but I can't risk losing my email and Office if it messes up. I saw a similar post on the Office for Mac 2011 Blog. I was going to install Win 7 on one of my internals and this situation has brought that to a screeching halt. Heck, I'll go to bed and sleep on it.... not well but I'll try.

    I have just got a problem with my MBP 2011 in that when I plugged in a Thunderbolt LaCie Little Big Disk plus two firewire drives when I opened Excel it asked for the product key.  When I enetered it ( which has happened a few times since I got this MBP) the maximum number of activations was exceeded.  I called MS who did provide a new product key and I thought all was well, but when I shutdown the MBP, unplugged the Thunderbolt drive and the firewire drives and rebooted it asked for a product key again.  I will try plugging in the Thundrbolt disk again and then the firewire drives and see if it still asks for a new product key.  But if this is a repeatable problem then it is a real issue.

  • Software update asks for restart before installing the updates. When restarted password is asked. After the restart the software updates have not been installed. how come?

    Software update ask for a restart before installing the updates. After the restart password is asked. When given the computer is restarted but the software updates have not been installed. How come?

    This article
    http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57400956-263/apple-issues-software-installe r-update/
    explains what might be going on.
    I noted that one of the updates in the list for my wife's iMac was an update to Software Update itself. Probably to fix this very problem. But it wasn't being applied due to Software Update itself not working.
    I considered two solutions.
    (1) Uncheck all the updates except that one update to Software Update. Then after fixing Software Update, apply all the other updates remaining. I did NOT try this approach.
    (2) Download and install the "combo update" for 10.6 -- from here
    http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1399
    I decided to try solution #2. It's a large download, 1 GB, but the whole process took less than 15 minutes. The "combo" update checks and reapplies every update since the beginning of 10.6, so if something is missing or amiss, it gets filled in. It's done manually, by downloading the update, opening the .dmg file, and running the update. When I did this, it fixed the Software Update issue because I then reran Software Update and additional, new updates were found and they all installed fine. Software Update was working as it should. I then ran it a third time and some additional ones were found, also then successfully applied. Finally, no new updates were found by Software Update, which mean everything is up to date.
    I can't be sure if your issue is the same as mine (the bug in the CNET article above) but I'm guessing that the combo update will resolve your issue.
