Hyper-V 2012 R2 On Static IP?

I have a hyper-v server that has its own static ip address and I want to be able to remotely manage it from a windows 8.1 system. Is this possible? There on different networks and not a part of a domain.
thnx

Hi paulb787,
I would suggest you to disable firewall on each side for troubleshooting :
netsh advfirewall set all state off
Also please post the error message .

  • X3650 M3 has only 100Mbit on hyper-v 2012 R2 OS

    Hello!
    I have  x3650 M3 server with hyper-v 2012 R2 OS on it.
    So "get-NetAdapter | fl" command at powershell shownig that i have only 100 Mbit connection, how can i fix it ?

    Hello,
    Some suggestions.
    First, it would be recommended to use latest driver and firmware provided for x3650M3.
    See FixCentral for latest x3650M3 downloads
    http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral/systemx/quickorder?parent=System%2Bx3650%2BM3&product=ibm/syst...
    -Broadcom NetXtreme II Driver for Windows

    -Online Broadcom NetXtreme and NetXtreme II Firmware Utility for Windows 2.4.1c
      brcm_fw_nic_2.4.1c_windows_32-64
    Second, some typical items to check.
    -Is Ethernet cable being used "category 5e" or above?
    -Can you try use a different Ethernet cable known to work at Gigabit speed?
    -Is Switch hardware Gigabit capable?
    -Can you try use a different Switch port, or even a different Switch hardware?
    -Maybe Switch port speed set static at particular speed as 100M?
    -Is Switch port set to auto-negotiation? Typically recommended to use auto for Gigabit usage.
    -Does speed and negotiation setting of NIC match with that of Switch?
    -Maybe disconnect and then re-connect Ethernet cable to try re-negotiate connection? Or Power off/on as well.
    Otherwise, if continue to have difficulty then perhaps open a ticket with local Lenovo support.

  • How do I turn off Hyper-V 2012 server sleep mode?

    Just installed Hyper-V 2012 server on a HP ML360 G8. Also installed Corefig 1.1.1. It seems after about 10 minutes if idle time the monitor goes black and the unit goes into sleep or hibernation.  I have used powercfg to set it to the High Performance
    power scheme and set screensaver to none in Corefig. 
    When the monitor goes black, if I move the mouse the sconfig screen, corefig, etc windows do not show until I run the mouse over them. Even then the windows do not 'repaint' until I run the mouse over the whole window or make some kind of key stroke in each
    window.
    Worried what this will do to my VMs once I start building them and would like to see the screen at all times.  This is the first 2012 box and I have never had this issue with any of the Core 2008 products.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    “I can't locate the GUI you show, it's Hyper-V 2012 Server,so i can't edit the settings. 
    Sems like it may be the monitor itself is going to sleep”
    The other possible is you don’t have the administrator rights, or your server has got the Power Management, after you configuration the power option, the GPO refresh then
    the old configuration be covered. Please refer the following article to confirm that:
    Power Policy Configuration and Deployment in Windows

  • Can I assign several physical storage locations for each virtual machine when using the replication-feature from Hyper-V 2012 R2?

    Hi everyone,
    I have 2x physical servers running Hyper-V 2012 R2. Each hosts several virtual machines. The VHDs of the VMs are stored on several dedicated physical disks to have a performance boost. For exampe if VM A has two VHDs attached I made sure that the VHDs are
    on different physical disks to have them not slow-down each other in case of intensive disk accesses.
    So far so good. I was looking forward to the replication-feature. The idea is to have the two physical servers have their primary running VMs being replicated to the other physical server and vice-versa. I was hoping to have the chance to choose for each
    individual VM where the replicated VHD will be stored. But instead I can only see the one location/path which is configured in Hyper-V Manager when I activate the replication-feature on the server.
    Is there by any chance a way how to select the storage location for each VHD/VM if using the replication-feature of Hyper-V 2012 R2?
    Thanks in advance.
    Cheers,
    Sebastian

    Secondly, you could replicate different VMs to different storage locations to perform some of the disk balancing you are trying to perform.  Lastly, you could copy the vhd file to a different location
    before starting the VM.

    Hi Tim,
    thanks for the reply. Sorry, but I had some other tasks to take care of, so I wasn't paying enough attention to this thread.
    The part I quoted from your reply sounds exactly like the action I'd like to perform, but as you pointed out before this should not be possible.
    How can I perform the action (replicating each VM to a storage location) as you mentioned secondly? To sum it up again:
    2x physical machines carrying severel HDDs
    8+ VMs spread to run on the 2x servers
    when setting up replication I can only set the storage-location from server A on B and vice versa B on A
    Thanks again for your reply.
    Cheers,
    Sebastian

  • Hyper-v 2012 r2 slow throughputs on network / live migrations

    Hi, maybe someone can point me in the right direction, I have 10 servers 5 Dell r210s and 5 Dell R320's, I have basically converted these servers to standalone hyper-v 2012 servers, so there is no clustering on any at the moment.
    Each server is configured with 2 1Gb nics teamed via a virtual switch, now when I copt files between server 1 and 2 for example I see 100MBs throughput, but if I copy a file to server 3 at the same time the file copy load splits the 100MBs throughput between
    the 2 copy processes. I was under the impression if I copied 2 files to 2 totally different servers the load would basically be split across the 2 nics effectively giving me 2Gbs throughput but this does not seem to be the case. I have played around with tcpip
    large send offloads, jumbo packets, disabled vmq on the cards, they are broadcoms. :-(  but it doesn't really seem to make a difference with all of these settings.
    The other issue is If I live migrate a 12Gb vm machine running only 2gb ram, effectively just an o/s it takes between 15 to 20 minutes to migrate, I have played around with the advanced settings, smb, compression, tcpip not real game changers, BUT if I shut
    town the vm and migrate it, it takes, just under 3 and a half minutes to move across.
    I am really stumped here, I am busy in a test phase of hyper-v but cant find any definitive documents relating to this stuff.

    Hi Mark,
    The servers (hyper-v 2012 r2) are all basically configured with ssvmm2012R2 where they all have teamed 1Gb pNics, into a virtual switch, then there are vNics for the Vmcloud, live migration etc.  The physical network is 2 Netgear Gs724T switches which
    are interlinked and each servers 1st nic is plugged into the switch1 and the second nic is plugged into the switch2.See Below Image)  The hyper-v port is set to independent Hyper-v load balancing. 
    The R320 servers are running raid 5 sas drives, the R210s have 1Tb drives mirrored.  The servers all are using DAS storage, we have not moved to looking at using iscsi and san is out the question at the moment.
    I am currently testing between 2x 320s and 2x R210s, I am not copying data to the vm's yets, I am basically testing the transfer between the actual hosts at the moment by copying a 4Gb file manually, After testing the live migrations I decided to test to
    see the transfer rates between the servers first, I have been playing around with the offload settings and rss, what I don't understand is yesterday, the copy between the servers was running up to 228Mbs ie (using both nics) when copying
    the file between the servers, and then a few hours later it only was copying at 50/60Mbs, but its now back at 113Mbs seemingly to be only using one nic.
    I was under the impression if you copy a file between 2 servers the nicks could use the 2gb bandwidth, but after reading many posts they say only one nic, so how did the copies get up to 2Gb yesterday. Then again if you copy files between 3 servers, then
    each copy would use one nic, basically giving you 2Gbs, but this is again not being seen.

  • Hyper-V 2012 R2 Remote Management with Windows 8.1 using Microsoft Account (Workgroup)

    Hello,
    I've set up a Hyper-V 2012 R2 Server and tried to manage it from a Windows 8.1 with a Microsoft Account. Everything is in the same workgroup. After many searches, the only way is set up the server for remote access, install RSAT and log on with an Administrator
    account from the server in Server Manager console.
    So, this situation generates a question: since it's impossible to set up a Microsoft Account in Hyper-V server as a local user, it's impossible to use "the same account and password" way to establish a link between server and desktop? I must use
    a remote account for connection? Why Windows 8.1 local account and online account can't be merged as a single account?
    By the way, there are some consoles that cmdkey doesn't work, so it's not an option.
    Best regards.

    I have not fully tried this myself but I know this:
    A microsoft account can only be added to Server as a User, and only after Desktop Experience has been added.  This is also how you enable the MSFT Store on Server.
    This also requires a Full install of Server and is not possible on the free Hyper-V Server SKU.
    But, the legacy Server Manager console that Hyper-V Manager is built on has no concept of this new user account type.  And neither does Kerberos (the default security mechanism).
    So, my guess is that the best you can do is treat it the same as any workgroup machines.
    If you use Azure AD and sync your domain credentials, you have the password equivalent.  But you still require some AD in the middle.  This is simply the current state of affairs.

  • RDS - Issue using Windows 10 build 9926 as Virtual Desktop Infrastructure on Hyper-V 2012 R2

    We currently have a production Windows 8.1 as a VDI/RDS on Hyper-V 2012 R2. On testing the last build of Windows 10 (98??) we had no issues deploying this in same RDS as pooled desktops.
    The latest build 9926, although correctly sysprep-ed (either by removing AppX modern apps that have been updated, or not connecting the template to the internet), the build is only ever partially successful. Some VMs build others do not, and the ones that
    build cannot be managed via RDS/Server Manager, functions such as logging a user off  with server manager, result in an error. (WTS API failed)
    Build Error on connection Broker - Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-SessionBroker
    VM host [HOSTSERVER05] failed to execute VM Provisioning operation [Task: To perform post processing actions at VMHostAgent:] for virtual machine [VDI-W10-57] in pool [VDI_Advanced_Te], Error: [Error code: 0x88130221.]
    Any guidance on how to troubleshoot this would be greatly appreciated, although I suspect something regarding the auto-deployment/unattend and management systems though RDS no longer works with the latest Windows 10 build.
    Already posted this in the
    Windows Insider Program site, but was asked to re-post here. Thanks

    OK, I've carried out some more testing on the client site and have been able to move a couple of existing VMs from their 2008 R2 Hyper-V server to the new 2012 R2 server.
    Both VMs are Windows 7 SP1 with the RDP 8.0 update installed and I can connect to them from a Thin Client running RDP 7.1 and a laptop running RDP 8.0.
    When I add the RemoteFX vGPU to them both I can still connect from both devices but, as suggested, when connecting from the laptop with RDP 8.0 I don't get the vGPU performance (but the vGPU is still shown in the device manager).
    It all looks good at the moment but I'm still concerned as to why I was unable to connect to the first VM I moved over (it was complaining about a error in the License network communication or similar).
    I'll keep testing and post anything else that might be useful.
    Cheers for now

  • SLES 10 (SP3) on Hyper-V 2012 R2

    I do realize that is unsupported (only SP4 supposedly is)
    But I have SLES 10 (SP3) image that got converted from vSphere
    Once I can boot the IDE disk (by editing menu.lst to /hda1 & uninstall Vmware Tools, I would need to get network connectivity, so logical step would be to use Intergration Services 2.1 (one that supports SLES 10 SP3)
    But it is a no go. On make install during load of vmbus the whole VM just hangs & dies
    http://imageshack.com/a/img545/7339/16u1.jpg
    The initrd never even gets created as it dies & reset is the only option
    If I rem-out vmbus start in Makefile then I can get new kernel installed, but restulting kernel will panic on VM boot
    Anybody has any clever idea how to get it working (if at all possible)
    Seb

    Getting this to work is going to be difficult.  The older LIS 2.1 does not work with Hyper-V 2012 and 2012 R2 due to changes in Hyper-V itself.  But you could probably get SLES 10 SP3 with LIS 2.1 working if you went back to the older Hyper-V
    2008 R2.
    You are correct that the LIS 3.4 package is created only for the Red Hat (and CentOS) distros.  It will not work with SLES releases.
    We've gotten occasional requests to get SLES 10 working on Hyper-V 2012 and 2012 R2, and we're in conversations with SUSE about creating a combination that works.  But we don't have anything to announce about a timeline.  When/if we get something
    working, it will most likely be SLES 10 SP4, since that's the most up-to-date version from the SLES 10 series.

  • Delegate permission on Hyper-V 2012 R2

    Hi
    I'm having problem to delegate permission on Hyper-V 2012R2,
    Error - " you do not have the required permission to complete this task contact the administrator of the authorization policy for the computer 'localhost' "
    Everything is working great on Hyper-V 2012 (NOT R2).
    The steps that i'm doing are:
    1)Using the AzMan.msc i'm opening the 'InitialStore.xml'.
    2)in the Role Definition i'm creating new Role Definition.
    3)After creating the Role Definition i'm adding the following tasks :
     a. Allow Input to Virtual Machine.
     b.Allow Output from virtual Machine.
     c.Pause and Restart VM
     d.Read Service Configuration
     e.Start VM
     f.Stop VM
     g.View VM Configuration
    4)In the Role Assignments I'm creating new group.
    5)Adding the user from the AD.
    6)Adding the user to Remote Desktop Users in the server management.
    As i mentioned in server 2012 (NOT R2) it working great, since i started to install 2012R2 it's stopped working.
    Any idea?

    When searching this forum, you will find that issues with AzMan have been previously reported.  The reason is that AzMan for Hyper-V has been deprecated and no longer supports what you are attempting to accomplish.  This is now handled via
    System Center Virtual Machine Manager.

  • VMs on Hyper-V 2012 R2 are shutting down automatically

    Hello Guys! 
    I'm having a huge problem in my Hyper-V 2012 R2 environment. Yesterday, 9 of 40 VMs were shutdown automatically, and so, caused a downtime problem to my customers in the business hours.
    I checked in the Event Viewer (Application / System /  Microsoft - Windows - Hyper) of the Host and VM but I couldn't locate any log related to this unexpected shutdown. 
    It occurred twice yesterday, the first in the morning and the second in the afternoon. I'm afraid that this issue can happen again. I've tried to locate some logs to identify this problem, but no luck here. 
    My question: Is there any other place where it can help me in this troubleshooting to find the root cause?
    Obs: All the VMs are licensed / activated. 
    Obs2: The VMs are Win 2008 R2 Std

  • Virtual Machine Manager to manage Hyper-V 2012 R2 Servers

    Hi,
    I am trying to create an environment wherein I have few Hyper-V 2012 R2 hosts, Windows Server 2012 hosts, and Windows Server 2008 hosts. All are registered to a AD server.
    On Windows Server 2012 host, I have created a virtual machine on which System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2012 SP1 is running. This Virtual Machine Manager is perfectly able to manage Windows Server 2008 hosts.
    However when tried to add Windows Server 2012 hosts and Hyper-V 2012 R2 hosts, it gives the following error:

    2. What is the latest version of VMM to manage Hyper-V Sever 2012 and Windows 2012 R2 Server.

    Hello,
    I have installed VMM 2012 R2, this is also not allowing me to add and manage Server 2012 R2 hosts. However it is perfectly able to manage Server 2008 host.

  • Move VMs from Hyper-V 2008 R1 to Hyper-V 2012 R2

    I have a Server with Windows Server 2008 (NOT R2) running with the Hyper-V role installed and 8 VMs.
    I want to move them to our new server running Hyper-V 2012 R2.
    I tried to copy the original files to the 2012 Server and Import them as described in a similar article on this site (not allowed to post a link) but I get following error message (translated from German):
    Error while importing.
    The VM-Version of the virtual Maschine xxx could not be updated: unknown error 0x80004005
    The VM-Version 1.0 of the virtual Maschine is not supported.
    Any suggestons / ideas on how to fix this Problem?

    Hi Ralf,
    >>I am afraid that there might occur a Problem with a double SID now?
    There is no "double SID" if the SID that you mentioned is Virtual Machine SID , because you have created a new VM with new SID .
    But if you mean operation system SID (I assume that OS is windows OS) then "double SID" might arise when they are  online at the same time  (but I think the original VM should be offline after you create that new VM ).

  • Moving VMs From One Hyper-v 2012 R2 to Another Hyper-v 2012 R2

    Hi everyone, was hoping for some help in something I am confused about
    Currently I have SERVER1 running hyper-v 2012 R2
    I want to move all my VMs (around 20)  to SERVER2 also running Hyper-v 2012 R2
    But I am confused on the best way to do this
    1) should I just click on "MOVE" on SERVER1 to move to SERVER2?
    2) Should I do an export and then import
    3) should I setup replication from Server1 to Server2 and then do a failover?
    4) or should I shut the VM down, copy the VHDX file and then create a new VM and use that VHDX
    I just want to be cautious and use the best method to ensure it goes smooth and not worry about any corruption. Can anyone offer some advice?
    thanks

    It all depends on your environment and your current Hyper-V configuration.
    I asume both servers are domain-member of the same domain and don't use SCVMM. If so, then make sure you do the following:
    First enable the "Live Migration" feature in the Hyper-V settings on both Hyper-V Servers.
    Make sure both Hyper-V Servers have a vSwitch configured with the same display name and connectivity. They must be somewhat identical, but not everything. As long as the connectivity is the same.
    Make sure you have a location to store the VM files on SERVER2.
    Then do a Live Migration from SERVER1 to SERVER2, follow the wizard. By using the Hyper-V Manager console on SERVER1.
    NOTE1: Without computer certificates and Kerberos configuration on your Live Migration settings you cannot initiate a Live Migration from the Hyper-V Manager cconsole on SERVER2. With the default configuration, you have to login on (or connect
    to) SERVER1 en then initiate the Live Migration. 
    NOTE2: If you can't configure the vSwitches the same. Then you have to shut down the VMs and do a Quick Migration. Then re-configure the VM network properties and power on the VMs.
    I hope this information will help you goin on. If you need more detailed information use the following link:

  • Hyper-v 2012 R2 server core recommendations for single server setup

    Hi All,
    Next weekend I will be installing a brand new Dell 720 server for a client of mine.
    I would like to hear some recommendations on how to install this hypervisor.
    Let me state that I have had some experience with virtualization technology  in the past with VMWARE ESXi.
    This is a small client with under 10 users but I have learned that with the 2012 product offering you cannot get Small Business Server any more. I know Microsoft has Windows server 2012 Essentials but you would have to have Exchange server in the cloud which
    my client does not want. He wants to run his Exchange server in house.
    Also he needs Remote Desktop Services (Terminal Server) because his accounting application requires it.
    He has an existing Windows 2003 domain controller that eventually has to be decommissioned because it is too old and slow.
    So I thought I install Hyper-v 2012 R2 core on the new server and then create 2 VMs:
    1) Windows 2012 STD to run as a secondary domain controller.
    2) Windows 2012 STD member server with Exchange server 2013 and Remote Desktop Services role.  
    My questions here are these:
    1) Do I install the Hypervisor in workgroup or domain mode?
    2) When I am finished with the old server do I transfer the AD FSMO roles onto the VM that is acting as a domain controller?
    The new server has 2 CPUs. How does Microsoft licensing go here? I know that Windows 2012 STD gives me 2 instances with the same product key on the same server for 1 CPU. What happens if you have 2?
    Can someone give me some insight on how to go about this? I remember that I found this easier with VMWARE Esxi.
    Now with Hyper-V I need to also get a management workstation with Windows 8 professional on it to manage the Hyper-V core server.
    Thanks and regards
    Alfred

    In regard to the VM's: 
    1.) DC: If you're going to be installing a second domain controller that is 2012 R2, you might consider reading this guide first.
    http://msmvps.com/blogs/mweber/archive/2012/07/30/upgrading-an-active-directory-domain-from-windows-server-2003-or-windows-server-2003-r2-to-windows-server-2012.aspx
    2.) Exchange: Here's the guide for installing Exchange 2013 on Server 2012.  I don't believe R2 is supported yet for 2013.
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/14506.how-to-install-exchange-2013-on-windows-server-2012.aspx
    3.) Host: You'd install the host in domain mode....but that point may be moot after you read #5.
    4.) FSMO: I would verify the health of the 2012 DC before moving the roles.  All too often I'll see a new DC get stood up, sysvol won't be published, the engineer will be in a rush to move the FSMO's, and things get a little sideways.  Ultimately
    you don't HAVE to move the FSMO's until you are ready to decommission the 2003 box.
    5.) Licensing:  No licensing rights convey with Hyper-V Core, so this may not be best for your scenario.  See the queen mother of all Hyper-V licensing posts here -

    For what it's worth, plenty of SMB's are going to Office 365 to avoid the on-prem administration headache, but your client wants what your client wants. Sorry if this isn't the news you wanted but I hope it helps.

  • Hyper-V 2012 R2 roles, access denied, failed to connect to service, AzMan....

    Hi All,
    I have followed dozens of tutorials to set up roles for Hyper-V, but I keep coming up short. I have no problem managing the five domain-joined 2012 R2 Core Hyper-V servers we have remotely from my Windows 8.1 PC, but I have a lab box I would like to grant
    specific permissions to some Help Desk users on.
    The key tutorial I have followed is from John Howard (http://blogs.technet.com/b/jhoward/archive/2008/04/01/part-4-domain-joined-environment-hyper-v-remote-management-you-do-not-have-the-requested-permission-to-complete-this-task-contact-the-administrator-of-the-authorization-policy-for-the-computer-computername.aspx),
    but it still does not allow a non-admin account to use Hyper-V Manager remotely. Without his tutorial, I get access denied with my "TestUser" account. After following his steps, Hyper-V Manager appears to connect to the server, but says "The
    Virtual Machine Management service is not available." Even using his HVRemote with the /show flag, everything shows as PASSED.
    Digging deeper, I see dozens of failed audit Event Viewer logs saying "TestUser" is requesting READ to Service Control Manager. That sent me searching, and I found
    http://arnoutboer.nl/weblog/?p=300 and http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa374928(v=vs.85).aspx.
    After granting "AU" (Authenticated Users) every permission resembling "read", Hyper-V Manager now shows "There are no virtual machines to show" (or something along those lines); even though I know there are about 30 VMs on this
    host. I try to create a new VM (out of curiosity, and now that those options actually appear), and I get permission denied immediately after the create VM wizard pops up.
    Why is this such a convoluted process? I would appreciate any help creating Roles for Hyper-V 2012.
    Thank you in advance!

    Hi Eric (cool name BTW!)
    Putting them in Hyper-V Administrators is definitely not an option.
    I absolutely believe Microsoft would do something to push you into buying their software; just as we had to purchase Windows 8.1 Pro to remotely manage our 2012 R2 servers. However, as far as I am seeing, AzMan is still in 2012 R2. Whether it works or not
    is another story, but AzMan.msc is still there and I can run it on any of our 2012 R2 GUI installs.
    Actually just found this:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn303411.aspx. According to that, it has not yet been removed, but it has been deprecated. From what I am seeing, the Hyper-V portion of it is definitely broken.
    I will look into the remote endpoints solution you mentioned. Thank you for the suggestion. I just recently took the plunge into learning C++, so maybe a Hyper-V manager of sorts will be an app to
    attempt to write, haha.
