Create VHD

Hi,
I'm trying to use SCCM 2012 R2 CU3 to create a VHD which i'll then convert to a VHDX and upload to VMM. I was able to do this successfully in my environment a few months ago, but got sidetracked and am just getting back to it now. Unfortunately
when i try it now, it fails. I get through the CreateTsMedia stage
I see the following in the DeployToVhd.log file:

Any thoughts as to what might be the problem? I've looked at permissions on the temp folder and it all looks ok. My ID has full rights on that folder. The ID i'm using is a full admin on both the workstation where i'm running the sccm console
and it's a site admin in SCCM. Looking at the folder, i see it create the <GUID>.iso file. It's a 17GB file and I have 50GB of space available on my C: drive.

CreateSparseDisk error using Convert-WindowsImage.ps1 to create VHD for Windows 10 Preview

I have been trying to use convert-windowsimage.ps1 to create a Windows 10 .VHD under Windows 8.1 (inside VirtualBox)
.\convert-windowsimage.ps1 -Sourcepath .\install.wim -Edition Professional -VHDFormat VHD -DiskType Fixed -SizeBytes 40GB -VHDPath .\Win10Previewx64.vhd
This returns:
ERROR : Exception calling "CreateFixedDisk" with "4" argument(s): "The parameter is incorrect"
I get a similar error if I accept the default to create a sparse disk and the default SizeBytes value.
I did notice when typing the command in the ISE that most of the parameter values turn purple, but with SizeBytes 40GB changes back to cream when you add the B of GB - I'm not sure if this is relevant. The code does appear to expect GB TB or KB.

Task Sequence to create VHD doesn't finish.

I have been putting together a task sequence on our new SCCM 2012 server to create a Win7 VHD using the new features in SCCM 2012 R2 to deploy an OS to a VHD. The task sequence stops after the "Setup Windows and Config Manager" Step. It
doesn't run the shutdown step. I have been trying to insert steps to run sysprep and they are never run either. I can manually shutdown the VM and the process completes but I need it to finish the task sequence so that I can eventually install
additional software.
The only error I can see in the SMSTS log on the VM is "Failed to create instance for IMTCTokenHandler interface, hr=0x80070005".
I'm using the default task sequence to create the "Install an existing image package to a virtual hard disk". I've tried using an already created image as well as the OS Source. SCCM 2012 R2, Windows 8.1 ADK. I have tried recreating that task
sequence a number of different times.

The sysprep error may be caused by the rearm count being reached.
You may run the sysprep command too many times on this referenced Windows. Try on a fresh one.

Hyper-V: Kerberos Constrained Delegation not working - unable to create VHD on SMB 3.0 share

I have created a simple, three server Hyper-V environment with two Hyper-V servers and a file server. The file server is providing shared storage over SMB. I have configured Constrained Delegation as per the instructions found on a TechNet blog.
However, I cannot create VMs from my Windows 8.1 workstation running the Windows 8.1 RSAT. I get the following error:
New-VM : Failed to create the virtual hard disk.
The system failed to create '\\SERVER\VHDStore\Hyper-V\VH02\Virtual Hard Disks\Disk1.vhdx': General access denied error (0x80070005).
You do not have permission to perform the operation. Contact your administrator if you believe you should have

+ CategoryInfo : PermissionDenied: (Microsoft.Hyper...l.VMStorageTask:VMStorageTask) [New-VM], Virtualiza
tionOperationFailedException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : AccessDenied,Microsoft.HyperV.PowerShell.Commands.NewVMCommand
I have configured delegation on each of the Hyper-V servers to allow the service CIFS on the file server. The permissions on the shared folder allow full control to both the Hyper-V servers and the end-user account. I see not specific errors
in the event logs on any of the servers involved.
Where else can I look too determine what is failing and why?
Thanks.

Hi Ash,
>> The permissions on the shared folder allow full control to both the Hyper-V servers and the end-user account. I see not specific errors in the event logs on any of the servers involved.

They are all joined domain right ?
As you mentioned two hyper-v host computer name and the user which logging on to the Win8.1 have the full control on that shared folder , that user is still in hyper-v administrators/administrators group of hyper-v hosts.
Please try to log on hyper-v host locally use that user account then try to create a file into the shared folder first .
Also please refer to following link:

New Virtual hard disk wizard hangs after creating new vhd from huper-v manager on windows 7

New Virtual hard disk wizard hangs after creating new vhd from huper-v manager on windows 7 workstation.
Windows 2008r2 hosts the hyper-v server. I can create VMs and VHD's when connecting to the server locally with the hyper-v manager.
The issue arises when I try to connect to the hyper-v server from my workstation which runs windows 7.
I have installed The Windows6.1-KB958830-x64-RefreshPkg.msu that was suggested for windows 7 sp1.
I can connect to the hyper-v server, create vm's but I cannot create vhd's the gui just hangs with no errors in event log or on screen.
The files are there on the hyper-v hard drive but i suspect they are just created by windows as they are written and are not valid.

I've had just the same solution. Both did Hang Fixed size and flexible.
Two parts were taken:
1 - KB939820 for Windows 2003 server based domain controllers
2 - disable using IPv6 on your NIC
Result - both types of VHD's are created normaly.

Cant create replica and Hyper V virtual machine management service slow shutting down

Hi,
I cant create replica and Hyper V, I go through the process and all looks good it even starts to create the hard disk but it stops at 4096K and the wizard just keeps going.
The management console is also slow or wont load virtual machines - stuck on loading virtual machines
The Hyper V virtual machine management service slow shutting down over 30 minutes on re boot of Hyper V core 2012 R2
Any ideas ?

Hi Sir,
I assume that you have a standalone hyper-v server 2012R2 and you are using hyper-v manager to manage the hyper-v host .
Which system you are using to manage hyper-v host , win8 or win8.1 or other ?
Have you created VMs on the HOST ?
I would suggest you to create vhd or someother operation on hyper-v host directly to check the result .

Storage Spaces - Can't recover from OS reinstall (failure to attach VHD)

I had a Windows 2012 R2 Standard server with GUI running Storage Spaces on some non-raid drives. The OS became corrupted and so I had to reinstall. Upon reinstall I go to Storage Spaces and see everything just as it should be in terms of recovery.
The problem I'm having is the reattaching of the VHD file itself that hosts all of the files. I click attach VHD and it does, nothing shows up Explorer though.
So I go to manage disk drives and it shows all of the individual drives and the large VHD set to offline. I online the drive and the machine just basically locks up.
I tried to do the same thing via powershell but have the same problem with the machine just locking up. Anybody seend this before? I don't really care to actually get the Storage Spaces working at this point, just need access the files themselves
so I can pull them off. Any help is much appreciated.

Hi,
Generically Storage Space will not be affected with reinstall operation system - if we move all disks to another computer, storage space will still be recognized.
it shows all of the individual drives and the large VHD set to offline
We should not see any disk inside a created storage space in Disk Manager - Virtual Disks created in Storage Space will be listed but not the physical disks. So I need to confirm:
a. Whether "individual drives" means physical disks, or virtual disks created in Storage Space?b.
Whether "VHD" here means virtual disks in Storage Space, or you actually created VHD on virtual disks (in storage space).
If VHD here means virtual disks, you can test to connect all disks to another system which supports Storage Space (Windows Server 2012 or 2012 R2) to see if disks could be recognized.
However it seems more likely "VHDs on Virtual disk" - VHD files could corrupt which causes your current situation and if this is true, it will be difficult to get VHD files back to work as we have less option to repair a corrupted VHD file.

Convert W7 VHD to WIM

hi all. I have created a w7 ultimate vhd and have booted to it and have customized the system, etc. I am trying now to use imagex (in the waik x86, thats my system, program group location) to capture the vhd w7 and output it as a wim file.
...PETools\x86>imagex.exe /compress maximum /capture v: c:\install.wim "Windows Ultimate" where v: is the drive letter assigned after i attach the vhd and c: is the drive location where I want to save the wim (it is my system drive
i am currently booted to). There is 40gb of space on c: and the vhd is 35gb. It goes through a "folder exluded by default" pass and scans files and directories of v: but then stops with the "error imaging drive [v:\] the parameter
is incorrect" msg.
I have searched for clues but found none. Any ideas??
cheers

Just now ran on to this situation and thought I would share for future IT guys!
You can create VHD several different ways, we happen to use Disk Manager that is built into the Windows 7 Pro system(which was a VM.)
We then attached it using the local System's Disk Manager and it assigned it a drive letter. This is were imagex comes in hadny. The error above is in the command line:
imagex.exe /capture G: C:\test\winimg.wim "TestVM" /compress fast
That was it for the capture, installed the image into a new system and worked great. Note put the imagex.exe program into you system32 directory - really makes life easier than searching for it! :)
Now we had to boot into safe mode so the system could adapt to the drivers, but rebooted system an replaced missing drivers and done. A virtual machine is now a physical one!
Hope this helps anyone else out there.

Multiple Failures Related?

Here's an oddity. Software Update--gets only 15% into action then freezes before finding anything. Disk Utility--searches forever, and can't even find the disks. Downloaded Security Updates and Java Updates--non compos mentis, get part way through, then can't Continue.
B'b'but the OS X 10.4.9 Update (downloaded manually) did its thing just fine.
Is there some easy fix? (Throw away the Xyz, Luke...)

Hi,
Please try this guide to make native boot from VHD for Windows 10, I have tested it, and it works fine.
Boot to VHD (Native Boot): Add a Virtual Hard Disk to the Boot Menu
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-in/library/hh825691.aspx
Make sure that you open the command prompts as Administrator before running command to create VHD and deploy Windows 10 into this VHD.
If you still get permission error, considering that permission of current account may be corrupted, please try this again by login with built-in administrator.

VHXD file won't mount in WIndows 8.1 if is stored in Samba share

I'm trying to mount a vhxd file in windows 8.1 and it's giving-me this error:
The process cannot access the file because another process has locked a portion of the file
This file was created in a local directory and copied to NAS share.
If I try to create it directly on NAS I get the same error.
If I use (or try to create) vhd file in Windows 8.1: Same error
In Windows 7 I can create and attach the file without any problem.
With all these problems, I can´t perform System Image Backup as it creates vhd/vhdx files.

SBS 2003 server admin rights dont work access denied on VSS and Network settings

Hi I have just taken over support for a company and have inherited a SBS 2003 Server.
The server has had no backup for over a year (when the last admin left).
VSS does not work, so the back does not work, unable to install any other backup as no admin rights.
I want to repair it so I can do a backup to move to a new server.
I did not know the administrator account password (the last admin didn't tell anyone)
So I used a password reset boot cd and then restarted Windows 2003 in Directory Service Restore Mode.
Copied SRVANY and INSTSRV to a temporary folder, mine is called D:\temp. Copied cmd.exe to this folder too. Next ran at a command prompt instsrv PassRecovery "d:\temp\srvany.exe"
next
Started Regedit, and navigated to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\PassRecovery
Created a new subkey called Parameters and added two new values:
name: Application
type: REG_SZ (string)
value: d:\temp\cmd.exe
name: AppParameters
type: REG_SZ (string)
value: /k net user administrator 123456 /domain
"123456 is substituted for the password I used" Im not daft enough to publish it lol
Next
opened the Services applet (Control Panel\Administrative Tools\Services) and opened the PassRecovery property tab. Checked the starting mode is set to Automatic.
to the Log On tab and enable the option Allow service to interact with the desktop.
Restart Windows normally, SRVANY run the NET USER command and reset the domain admin password.
OK so now I am logged in as administrator but guess what I still don't have admin rights???
I can add new user with admin rights and log in as them but they still don't have admin rights Im totally lost??????????? Help please

I'm thinking the previous tech may have renamed the built-in domain Administrator and then created a new account called 'administrator' with lesser rights? He then used another domain admin account to manage the server.
If so, and given the fact that you don't know any domain admin account usernames or passwords, I think you may be in for a move to a new server without a proper NT backup of the SBS 2003.
However, If you can at least log into the SBS 2003, I wonder if you could download and run DIsk2VHD and create VHDs (not VHDX) of the current SBS 2003 drives, saving them to an external USB drive connected to the server.
You could then 'attach' the VHDs to a Win7 Pro computer and gain access to the files/folders, although not the Active Directory stuff. Moving Exchange and Sharepoint would impose additional pain. For Exchange, you could log
onto workstations as each user and export their Exchange mailboxes as .PSTs. I believe you could do the same with any Public Folders.

Of course, the owner could also have his attorney contact the previous tech and threaten legal action unless he coughs up the correct domain admin username and password. That username and password belong to the owner, not the

P2V Windows 2000 Server

I would like to p2V a Windows 2000 SP4 running on a Dell PE 750. I have searched many forums and no one seems to have an answer to do this and suggest other ways to get around this, right on MS documentation it shows that an offline conversion is supported.
I don't plan on upgrading Server software and I do not want to do a backup/restore to new image.
Information I am looking for
What Host OS and Hyper-V version do I need to do this with?
Where can I find step by step instructions?

You can succesfully perfrom the P2V using Disk2Vhd -
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/sysinternals/ee656415.aspx
Just make sure to stop any running services such as SQL before perfroming the P2V to make sure that no Data is changed or updated during the conversion.
Disk2Vhd does not Support Windows 2000. This tool uses VSS and VSS is not available at Windows 2000.
Only offline conversion is possible with Disk2Vhd
http://www.tekronin.net/2014/01/13/windows-server-2000-p2v-with-disk2vhd/
Make sure that your grandpa server is running on W2K SP4.
Shutdown the server and take off the hard disk.
Install the hard disk on a computer with Windows XP (anything above that is OK too)
Boot up the second computer and make a note of the new volumes.
Download Disk2VHD exe from
here
Create VHDs as you want. You can save them to a local drive or if you have a fast network (from my experience 1 Gbps LAN connection would save a 40 GB hard disk in a matter of 15 minutes via network) you can use an existing shared
folder. I still prefer to save to VHD format for Windows 2000.

How to PXE boot a new VM

Hi Folks,
I have an existing PXE server on my network running WDS. I would like to use SCVMM to create VMs from a template (this is done currently using Hyper-V manager) that use the PXE server.
When I create a new VM it errors out with a 13206 error - because the VHD is blank.
Is there a way to create virtual machines from a template that use an existing PXE server or does SCVMM (2012 R2) not support this. I do not need (or want) to start the new VM straight away.
Also, is there a way to create VMs that have a blank disk without having to require media to be attached or to store specially created VHDs. I often don't know the required media until much later - this is doable in Hyper-V manager but seems hard to
replicate in SCVMM.
Regards
Andy

By the term "construct a VM template that is all ready for PXE" do you mean that when the VM is later created and started it will look for an existing PXE server on the network (as per what happens in Hyper-V manager).
ALso what is the PXE Servers option for under fabric?

There is no enough disk space

I am faced another problem when I was creating VM. Around 80%, it paused and the error was "there is not enough space".
I have at least 127 GB available in my hard drive disk. Also, when I tried to create VHD, it allowed me only dynamic, not fixed.
it says you don't have enough disk space when I try to create fixed vhd. What is going on?

I think there is more going on in the system (as a whole) than you are aware of.
Page files, RAM save state files, media save locations, it all adds up.
This is one of those things that it is extremely difficult to help with through the passage of time and the use of a keyboard and text. Experience and eyeballs could probably give a reason in minutes. But we don't have the luxury here.
A VHD must grow if it is dynamic. If you create checkpoints, those increase your used disk space. there are many, many possibilities.
You have to investigate and pay careful attention to the various places you are looking.
From your other thread I would already venture that you have multiple physical drive partitions, multiple VHDs, failed attempts at various things, etc.
