HomeGroup and Hyper-V role on 8.1 locks pc on boot
Hi Folks
Are there known compatibility issues with running homegroup alongside the hyper-v role under Windows 8.1?
I have been running the hyper-v role on my PC with no issues, however yesterday I enabled homegroup to share files on my home network, this worked perfect until a reboot.
On reboot at the log-on screen the network icon shows no internet connectivity (explanation mark) and then after a few seconds the PC totally freezes.
The only way I can stop the PC locking at the log-on screen is to disable the 'HomeGroupListener' and 'HomeGroupProvider' services. Now I am working again, all be it without homegroup.
I am suspecting that homegroup is having compatibility problems with how hyper-v takes over and manages the networking adapters?
Can anyone confirm?
Note: I am not trying to run a homegroup from within virtual machines, I have enabled this on the host PC that has the hyper-v role.
Thanks
Hi,
For the issue, please check the event viewer to see if some error log appeared when the issue occurred.
I suggest you upload the event log
so that we can help you analyze the issue.
Meanwhile,let us update your NIC driver to check the result.
Keep post.

Dears,
I have IBM Flex server with built in storage,
HOW to to make Cluster between two server 2012 Datacenter with share storage and Hyper-V role then install Exchange 2013 on each server datacenter then make DAG between Exchange servers?
If there any prerequisites of the Share storage types ?and any configuration guide to deploy Cluster between two Server 2012 datacenter ?Microsoft Failover Clusters require shared storage. If you wish to create a failover cluster with local storage, you need to use third party software to mirror the disks and present it to the hosts (siog.com, datacore.com, starwind.com). If you
use third party software, you will need to follow their instructions for configuring the environment.
Questions on how to configure Exchange environments are better asked in an Exchange forum.

Hyper-v Role in Windows Server 2012 foundation and Essentials
Hello,
I have seen that the two low cost version of Windows Server 2012 essential and Foundation) will not support hyper-v. Can you please tell me what it means exactly :
Can you please tell me what is possible :
-The server can not be installed as a hyper-v guest (probably yes)
-The hyper-v role can not be installed on the server (so I have to rely on vmware)?
- Hyper-v role can be installed but there is no free license included with the server.
Thank you
MarcI suppose then, you would have to install Windows 8 and Hyper-V as your guest or core.
Then run your Server 2012 Foundation under Win8. which has 512GB Memory Limit.
It seems asinine that you cannot install this role on Foundation, but seemingly you could work around it with Win8. (Or Sun Virtual Box (free) (or VmWare(Free).
So load up a dozen Win8Pro virutal sessions on that Win8 VirtualBox with up to 512GB Memory and Create your own Ghetto Remote Desktop Server with Foundation and Windows 8. ;)
What good is it if your can't run Hyper-V and Remote desktop services? Those are the two apps small business need most. But Microsoft strips it out, calls it a DEAL (Essentials and Foundation) , yet if you want the good stuff, you're gonna
have to buy Server 2012 Standard anyhow, + the CALs.
So you are hooked into this "deal" by Microsoft Special Offer. Its special alright, because you get to buy it twice. The stripped down version that come with your server, then the full version when you discover Foundatoin and Essentials gives
you AD, and thats it. Nothing Else. No "deal"
Remember:
All you get with Foundation or Essentials is AD and Group Policy.
You cannot load RDP on Foundation or Essentials
You cannot load Exchange on a DC, or Foundation or Essentials
You cannot load Exchange and RDP on the same box.
You cannot have Remote Web Apps if you load RDP on your DC.
You cannot win with Microsoft. No worthwhile "deal" has ever come out of the city of Redmond.
The internet is a one-way money pipeline to Microsoft.
Its three times the work, three times the cost and requires three servers licenses to do with 2012, what you could do with one 2008R2 license.
Might as well purchase 2 Server 2013 Standard Editions if you want:
1.) Active Directory
2.) Remote Desktop and Remote Apps
3.) Your own Exchange Server
You are better off installing a NAS if all you need is a file server.
Why bother with Foundation or Essentials? Its a "Gimmick-ware" -
When I try to go to Control Panel\Programs and click on turn windows features on/off and , it shows ticks on hyper-v is removed.
Hyper-v platform Is grayed out and When i move the mouse point to Hyper-v platform it shows a message.
"Hyper-v cannot be installed: A hypervisor is already running"
When I try to install vmware it says..
VMware Workstation and Hyper-v are not compatible. Remove the Hyper-V role from the system before running Vmware Workstation..I dont feel you can do this. I have also tried what you tried and ended up with a failure.. So had to stick with vmware in one instance and for other instance hyper v...

CD/DVD dropped after Hyper-V role installed
Hi,
yesterday I installed server 2012 from the scratch (quite normally from a DVD). All went OK and CD/DVD drive was present after OS restart. Today I installed Hyper-V role on same machine. After reboot DVD drive was vanished from Windows Explorer. It didn't
show in the Device manager either. I checked registry HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\services\atapi from SRV2012 and SRV2008R2 machines just to compare them.
It appears that there is one more line (key) in the Hyper-V machine (running srv2012) registry: the"Owners" key, which is missing in the srv2008 machine not running Hyper-V. I don't have a clue what that means and if that has anything to do with
the issue.
So, my question is: Where has my dvd drive gone after Hyper-V role installation and how can I get it back?
Can anyone show me the path forward with this problem?
JussiHi ,
Is there relevant event log in "hardware events" (Event Viewer -->applications and services logs -->Hardware Events) ?
Any other relevant error messege after you installed Hyper-v in the Event Viewer ,please post it here if possible.

UPnP doesn't work after enabling Hyper-V role on WS2012R2
Hi,
We have stream/media player which use File share on WS2012 R2. It uses UPnP protocol to connect on File Share and it works fine. But, after enabling Hyper-V role on that server machine, stream/media player can't connect anymore on network share, cannot see
any network computer, I would say master browser service is corrupted.
Do you have advice, how to use UPnP on server with enabled Hyper-V role and virtual network adapter?
Thank you in advanceHave you tried doing things in the opposite sequence? Try first installing and configuring Hyper-V and the virtual switches you will be using. Then install the media player. Maybe the media player is losing track of things when its underlying
network is changed.
Of course, Microsoft does not recommend this configuration. It does not recommend running any other service on a host that is running Hyper-V. That does not immediately imply it will not work; just passing on that what you are doing is a non-recommended
configuration.

Hyper-V Role deployement with MDT2013 on a Server 2012R2 Trial Version
Hello,
when i deploy a custom image that i add the roles install Hyper-V, everything works fine, added the SkipRoles=Yes,
and the role Hyper-V is installed at the end of my new server 2012R2 Trial version, HOWEVER,
there's no icon that appears on the desktop, on the manager, the Hyper-V Manager option is not there,
all the Hyper-V related services are installed.
Seems there's a GUI issue, however in server manager the roles appear on the left side
I reboot, and yet nothing appears, i uninstall the Hyper-V role manually, reboot, re-install manually and the missing shortcuts appear.
Can someone provide me a hint to fix this, i've tested other roles and they also don't appear (DNS).
Thanks in advance for your replysYou are talking about two different things here. The Hyper-V Core, and the Hyper-V Tools. It appears that you want both. Run the following command:
dism.exe /online /get-features
and verify that all hyper-v components are installed:
Feature Name : Microsoft-Hyper-V
State : Enabled
Feature Name : Microsoft-Hyper-V-Offline
State : Enabled
Feature Name : Microsoft-Hyper-V-Online
State : Enabled
Feature Name : RSAT-Hyper-V-Tools-Feature

New Windows Server 2012 install won't boot after installing Hyper-V role.
I have just installed Windows Server 2012 onto a Dell PowerEdge R310. Everything worked okay until I installed the Hyper-V role. After that, when it tries to boot, I get "Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart. We're just collecting
some error info, and then we'll restart for you. (0% complete)" for a split second, then the system reboots into Automatic Repair mode.
In Automatic Repair mode, my options are Refresh your system (which tells me the drive that Windows is on is locked), Reset your system (which tells me there is no partition), and Automatically Fix your PC (which tells me it can't fix it).
I have updated to the latest version of the BIOS (1.11.0, which Dell states adds Windows Server 2012 support).
I'm at a loss.. I've tried everything I can think of. Has anyone run into this issue and figured out a solution? The only references I can find to this issue talk about Gigabyte motherboards with USB 3.0, but this server pre-dates USB 3.0 by
quite a bit.Hi,
Not only the BIOS but the iDRAC and storage part also need to ne up date check, have a look at the following list to see what you need for Server 2012:
http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/os-applications/w/wiki/3868.dell-bios-support-for-windows-server-2012.aspx
If any info was collected during the error then have a look in the event viewer or look for a kernel/memory dump file so you can try to find the issue, in many cases a driver, anti-virus sofware or 3rd part service can cause these kind of issues.

Host hangs during bootup after installing Hyper-V Role
My hyperv test box is a Dell Optiplex 980, i7, 8GB RAM.
Due to small data partitions I had to rearrange the partitions on the disk.
Before this the layout was like this:
#1 primary WS2008R2SP1
#2 primary WS2012 RTM Build9200
#3 primary ext3, boot partition
#4 extended
#N logical WS2012R2 RTM Build9600, booted from #1
#N logical WIN data partition with VM images
System was booting from #3 into grub, which did chainload into #1, #2 and several logical paritions.
Now the layout is like this:
#1 primary ext2
#2 primary ntfs, boot parition
#3 primary linux-swap
#4 extended
#5 logical WS2008R2SP2
#6 logical WS2012 RTM Build9200
#7 logical WS2012R2 RTM Build9600
#8 logical WSBeta1, empty
#9 logical WSBeta2, empty
#10 logical WIN data , now large enough, still empty
#N logical several ext3 partitions
First I installed WS2008R2, installed role Hyper-V, applied all updates. Everything looks fine there.
Then I installed WS2012, system came up fine. Then the trouble started: first installed role Hyper-V, after several reboots during role installation the box is hanging with busy HDD LED. Not sure if there is actually disk activity. It booted up to the turquoise
squares which are initially shown. But those white spinning points are not shown. After one hour I did a hard reset, installed WS2012 again and applied all available updates before attempting to install the role Hyper-V. But unfortunately same result.
Then I figured this bug might be fixed with WS2012R2. So same procedure, install WS2012R2, apply all available updates, system comes up fine. Install role Hyper-V, several automatic reboots during role installation. Result: same hang with busy HDD LED.
I'm not familier with the Windows boot details.
So my question is: What debug data can I provide so that someone familiar with the boot sequence of a Windows host can see how far it got? Are there any logfiles written, and hopefully flushed to disk, to see how far in booting it got? I remember in the
startup properties there are knobs for serial ports. I will enabled them from the WS2008 partition, maybe some useful progress log is written to the serial port.
Over night I will let it run, maybe WS2012R2 recovers after a few hours.
Thanks for any help with tracking this windows bug down.

Hi,
I am really puzzled by the following situation. I have a SCVMM 2012 R2 cluster that manages a Hyper-V host cluster on windows 2012 r2 and storage attached by SOFS Cluster on windows 2012 r2. There is 1 share - CSV1 for all VMs.
Under Fabric -> Providers/Arrays/FileServer everything is green and has status of responding and CSV1 is shown as managed.
Under Fabric -> Hosts -> Cluster properties -> Fileshare storage the CSV1 is visible and status responding, just as on the hyper-v hosts.
The error I have is that around 50% of those VM have "unsupported VM configuration" and under properties I get the error that the file share that the VHDX is running on is not managed. --> This is wrong because the share IS managed by VMM. As
I said I only have 1 (!) CSV for ALL of my VMs. If the share isn't managed by VMM then none of the VM could show a valid status. But this is what I see.
A refresh on the virtual machine gives me an error of ID12700 "VMM cannot complete the host operations... unkown error (0x8005)." On the Hyper-V Host itself for the time frame that I performed the refresh of the VM there are no corresponding errors.
The only thing I found is that all VMs with unsupported configuration have wrong properties entry in SCVMM. In SCVMM
the VM properties -> Advanced -> Availablity is set to "normal". On all VMs that work just fine the Availability is "High". I went to the Failovercluster Manager on the Hyper-V host. All VMs are visible under "Roles" and
therefor are HA VMs. So for some reason SCVMM has a wrong information on their HA status. I am not sure if this is the reason why
some are showing the error and some not but it is the only difference I found.
Does someone have an idea what could cause this behavior?Yes all of those VMs were created before VMM exists. A Cluster refresh and hyper-v host refresh runs through without errors or information. So that is OK.
Migration is not possible because of the error. LiveMigration is not available from the GUI. Haven't checked powershell yet but will do so today.
I have been able to limit the errors to a smaller number of VMs (well if you could say that). I removed and re-added the hyper-v cluster. After that about 1/3 of all VMs still show the error and all of them are on the same Hyper-V server. Not sure if this
is relevant or just by "accident". I checked this hyper-v host but in regards to storage, network, hyper-v configuration I do not see any difference to the other two cluster nodes either on hyper-v nor on SCVMM. -
How to configure automatic start option of the Hyper-V role (Windows 2012 R2)
Hi,
If there a way to configure the automatic start up option of each Virtual Machine?
I know that you can't use the VMM settings to setup the Automatic Start action, and the Cluster Hyper-V setting only specify the "shutdown" action.
How can I make sure that after a an event like a power recovery affecting all my node that all my Hyper-V role will be started?ThankHi,
You can set the guest vm start up after your host computer start up, if you want to specific the guest vm start up order please refer the following related article:

Configuration Exchange 2013 DAG on two Server Data center 2012 with Hyper -V roles
Dears,
I try to planning and installation two hosts ( Data center 2012 servers) then install Hyper-V role on both this server, then create VM on each Data center server to be install Exchange 2013 on them.
After that I want to configure DAG between Exchanges servers, so what are the prerequisite to do that ?
Note: I use external IBM storage that will be located all VMs and DAG
Many thanksHi Moon,
In addition to Gulab's suggestion, I would like to clarify the following things:
1. Yes, we can use Standard or Datacenter version of the Windows Server 2012 operating system to configure Exchange 2013 DAG.
2. Each member of the DAG should be running the same operating system.
3. The DAG with an even number of members should have a witness server. A witness server is a server outside a DAG that's used to achieve and maintain quorum when the DAG has an even number of members.
What's more, here are some helpful articles for your reference.

BSOD on Server 2012 running dfs namespace and dfs replication roles with deduplication
Hello,
I have recently setup 2 dfsn & dfsr servers, both 2012 one physical the other virtual.
The idea is to have one server as primary and the other as a failover \ DR.
The primary server is virtual and connects via mpio \ iscsi to a dell san, using the provided dell DSM Drivers.
The secondary server is physical with local disk for storage.
I copy files to a namespace setup to always prefer the primary server, these files are then replicated across to the secondary.
I have also turned on deduplication on both servers to get the most out of the available storage.
This has been working well for 6 months or so, there have however been 2-3 occasions where the primary virtual server has crashed and blue screened causing the DFSR database to undergo a full consistency check.
The bug check errors i have managed to extract from the Memory.dmp and mini dump are as follows:
* Bugcheck Analysis
REFERENCE_BY_POINTER (18)
Arguments:
Arg1: 0000000000000000, Object type of the object whose reference count is being lowered
Arg2: fffffa80379a3070, Object whose reference count is being lowered
Arg3: 0000000000000002, Reserved
Arg4: ffffffffffffffff, Reserved
The reference count of an object is illegal for the current state of the object.
Each time a driver uses a pointer to an object the driver calls a kernel routine
to increment the reference count of the object. When the driver is done with the
pointer the driver calls another kernel routine to decrement the reference count.
Drivers must match calls to the increment and decrement routines. This bugcheck
can occur because an object's reference count goes to zero while there are still
open handles to the object, in which case the fourth parameter indicates the number
of opened handles. It may also occur when the object?s reference count drops below zero
whether or not there are open handles to the object, and in that case the fourth parameter
contains the actual value of the pointer references count.

I have searched for others having a similar problem but have not managed to find much.
The memory dump at the time of the crash does seem to hint at a problem with DFSR.exe.
The setup seems to be running fine again now and is going through its consistency checks, it is just a major inconvenience and will only get worse as the DFS becomes busier and approaches capacity.
The plan was to put this setup into production however with the unpredictability of blue screen reboots I cannot see this happening until I can find a fix or work around.
I have yet to see this problem occur on the other (physical) server, this is pretty much identical in configuration apart from its storage access.
My thoughts are a possible bug in the DFSR component or a bug in the DSM Drivers used for the iSCSI SAN connection or maybe a combination of the two.
Any help, thoughts or suggestions greatly appreciated
ThanksHi,
Please install the current version of Dfssvc.exe Dfsc.sys Dfsrs.exe for Windows Server 2012.

The issue may be due to the DFSRoot folder has lost NTFS permission. Some reasons why DFS root lose ACLs Links are listed in the article below:
How to implement Windows Server 2003 Access-based Enumeration in a DFS environment
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/907458/en-us
You could use dfsutil to set NTFS permission: dfsutil property ACL \\DFS-namespace
Using the Windows Server 2008 DFSUTIL.EXE command line to manage DFS-Namespaces

To narrow down the issue, you could remove the DFS role to check if the issue related to the dfs namespace and dfs replication roles.

How to remove Homegroup and Libraries icons from 7 RC desktop (after Vista upgrade)?
I took the plunge and upgraded my Vista 64 to Win 7 RC. The upgrade process lasted over 6 hours (some 300GB on my C:drive with Vista), but, once completed, it has been working really very fast & smoothly. The original Vista system is backed up of course on an external HDD.
What annoys me though, are 2 stubborn system icons on my 7RC desktop, Homegroup and Libraries. I don't use Homegroup and Libraries can be accessed via Taskbar or Start menu, so I want to get rid of these two icons, but they cannot be remove from the desktop as such, like "normal" icons.
Personalize -> Change Desktop Icons doesn't seem to offer any solution for these 2 icons.
I never had those desktop icons on earlier clean installs of Win7 Beta (on separate dual boot HDD), only now after the massive Vista->7RC upgrade.
I also have retained an earlier "unofficial" other Win 7 7100 on another HDD (with less installed apps.), for comparison.
Is there any registry hack or other method to remove these desktop icons?
I'd be grateful for a solution.

After hours of being annoyed........
1. Homegroup Icon:
open my computer, control panel, system and security, administrative tools, services, then scroll down to: homeGroup listener and homeGroup provider, disable both. close out, log off. the icon should be gone when you log back on.
2. Libraries Icon: carefully.......please, if no experience in registry get help.
go to: start, run, type in: regedit, select the HKEY_Local_Machine key, navigate down finding: Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace
You will see several hexadecimal strings, select each one in turn, and the right pane will show you which icon is being selected. my library icon was the very first string and showed two lines on the right side of the page, first being: usersLibraries and the second being: remove message.
when you find the appropriate library string, make a new folder in your my documents named: registry back up, then highlight the string on the left, go up to the top left of the registry page and click on, file then export. save the registry file in your new folder location. I also saved the two files on the right side of the page and named them what they were called on the page, so I would know what they were. (not sure I had to but did)
After saving the registry files, next you can delete the string you have highlighted on the left which in turn, shows the name userLibraries (on the right side of the page).
Poof it is finally Gone! available in your saved folder
Hope this helps
