Hyper V manager on 2008 R2 connect to 2012 R2 server core hyper V without domain

Dear all
I am using Hyper V manager on 2008 R2.
Now I have one 2012 R2 server core hyper V without domain, I want to manage this server core hyper V with Hyper V manager on 2008 R2.
When I add/connect, it display credential wrong. (use command net use drive works)
May I know is it a must to join domain?
thx
Q K

You're saying you want to use Hyper-V Manager on 2008R2 to manage 2012R2 Hyper-V, correct? If so, unfortunately this is by design:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/virtual_pc_guy/archive/2012/05/30/the-v2-wmi-namespace-in-hyper-v-on-windows-8.aspx
You'll have to use the built-in tools in Windows 8.1 to manage 2012 R2 Hyper-V remotely. Here's the support matrix:

AD FS on 2012 R2 Server Core - management tools

So it seems in 2012 R2, AD FS is now able to be installed in Server Core, I'm assuming because it's no longer part of IIS. However, managing it on Server Core seems "limited" to the use of PowerShell. This is ok but a GUI option from a
client would be nice too. Does anyone know a way to have the MMC snap-in for AD FS on a remote client for management purposes?

Hi,
According to this ms article, i am not find the ad fs is not available on windows server 2012r2 server core:
http://technet.microsoft.com/library/hh831786

No, you can indeed installed ADFS on 2012 R2 Server Core - I did it. The problem was that the GUI management tools (obviously) aren't available on a pure Server Core install and there doesn't appear to be the ability to use the MMC Add-In from
a client so you're "stuck" using PowerShell to manage it on the ADFS server.
Using PowerShell to manage it isn't a big deal, but as I'm learning about ADFS, I figured a GUI element would be nice to confirm what I've done in PowerShell translated properly to what the various guides give. Arguably, learning on a full GUI server
would have been the better option but, I'm stretched for resources in my Lab environment so this VM needed to consume less resources - which is why I went with Server Core.
Anyway, to get around this, I installed the feature "Graphical Management Tools and Infrastructure." The server is still Server Core, but it now has the ability to run MMC on the server itself, which means I now have the GUI ADFS management
tool on the server itself.
Hopefully for future releases, there will be an ADFS management tool included with the Remote Administration Toolkit

Linked Server from SQL 2008 to Connect to 2012 read only replica never works

I have two Production Database Servers
1. SQLServer2008 (2 Nodes Cluster)
2. SQLServer2012 with 2 read only replica (3 Nodes Cluster)
I would like to draw a line here, We have routing table and URL working perfectly fine.
We have tested LINKED Server from 2012 Box to production Server by Specifying APPLICATIONINTENT = ReadOnly; it works perfectly fine, the routing is being used.
When we create linked server from SQL Server 2008 Box (Please note we have installed SQL Server 2012 Client tools on this box and Restarted the Servers) using the below script
USE [master]
EXEC master.dbo.sp_dropserver @server=N'AGL1', @droplogins='droplogins'
GO
EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedserver @server = N'AGL1'
,@datasrc='AGL1'
,@provider='SQLNCLI11'
,@provstr='ApplicationIntent=ReadOnly;Database=AdventureWorks2012'
Linked Server is created, Now when I run the Query
exec ('select @@servername') at AGL1
It always brings the Primary READ/WRITE node name only, after lots of research I found that, this linked Server is always using SQL Native Client 10.0 only, even after creating Linked Server using SNC 11, That is the reason it is not going to routing
table. Its always connecting to Primary node.
Below is the way I found it, on 2012 Production Server I executed below Query
SELECT session_id, protocol_type, driver_version =
CASE SUBSTRING(CAST(protocol_version AS BINARY(4)), 1,1)
WHEN 0x70 THEN 'SQL Server 7.0'
WHEN 0x71 THEN 'SQL Server 2000'
WHEN 0x72 THEN 'SQL Server 2005'
WHEN 0x73 THEN 'SQL Server 2008'
ELSE 'SQL Server 2012'
END,client_net_address ,client_tcp_port,local_tcp_port ,T.text
FROM sys.dm_exec_connections
CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text(most_recent_sql_handle) AS T
The help is taken from msdn (Link Provided below) for the above Query
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd339982.aspx
and I found it always uses SQL Server 2008 SNC.
My Question is, is there a way to force SQL Server to use SQL Server Native Client 11.
Has anyone tried this setup?
Thank you in advance.

Unfortunately no, there is no other way of forcing it without restart. The SQL Server stack has no idea of the existing Native Client as it booted prior its installation. And you cannot force "DLL reload" without proper service restart.

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 -
http://www.aidanfinn.com/?p=13090
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.

Cannot install GUI to Hyper-V 2012 R2 server core

Hi everyone,
I have followed this article to convert a server core install to have a GUI installed:
http://andersonpatricio.ca/enabling-and-disabling-the-graphical-interface-in-hyper-v-server-core/
When I run the powershell command:
Install-WindowsFeature Server-Gui-Mgmt-Infra -Source C:\Sources\Windows\Winsxs
I get the following error:
PS C:\> Install-WindowsFeature Server-Gui-Mgmt-Infra -Source C:\Sources\Windows\

I have checked if there is a folder called Winsxs under c:\sources\windows and it is not there. Looks like the install.win file does not have it.
There is no bloody way of installing a GUI onto HypervCore.
If anyone has had any success with this, I would like to hear from you.
Many Thanks

Ipnotech

I think you might be right.
I even tried a large install.wim image and tried the following command after mounting the image onto a mount point:
install-windowsfeature server-gui-mgmt-infra,server-gui-shell -source c:
\wimmount\windows\winsxs
I go this error:

There is a lot of confusion between Windows 2012 R2 Hyper-v Core and just the Hyper-V R2 hypercore free edition.
Those commands are going to work for the first option. The free version cannot have a GUI.
The only way I can fix this by removing this hypervisor and and installing Windows 2012 r2 with hyperv role, restore the configs and the VMs.
Thanks for all your help.

Lanuch Remote Access Management Console with a connection to a remote server

I've installed the Remote Access Management Console on my Windows 8 workstation so that I can administer DirectAccess on a Windows Server 2012 server without having to connect to it with Remote Desktop. However, every time I launch the console I have to
click "Manage a remote server" and enter the server name. Is there a way to launch the console with a command-line parameter that opens the remote server automatically?
I've tried running ramgmtui.exe with the name of the server as a parameter, and I've also tried running "ramgmtui.exe /?" but the console doesn't launch at all when called with any of the parameters I've tried.

Hi,
Have you installed Remote Server Administration Tools?
You may use Server Manager to Manage another server. Once you add a server, it will be listed in All Servers. So you will never have to enter the server name.

[Forum FAQ]How to upgrade Windows Server 2008 R2 with a GUI to Windows Server 2012 Server Core

We found that some customers willing to upgrade Windows Server 2008 R2 GUI to Windows Server 2012 Server Core recently. This article provides detailed steps to perform the upgrade.
Analysis
Upgrading from Windows Server 2008 R2 with a GUI installation to Windows Server 2012 with Server Core directly
is not supported. If you do that, you will receive the error message below(Figure 1) in Compatibility report:
Figure 1.
In these scenario, you can upgrade to Windows Server 2012 firstly. After the upgrade process is completed, you can switch freely between Server Core and Server with a GUI modes.
Produces
You can follow the steps below to perform an upgrade from Windows Server 2008 R2 with a GUI installation to Windows Server 2012 Server Core mode:
1. Upgrade to Windows Server 2012 with a GUI mode
1) Firstly, please boot into Windows Server 2008 R2 with a Windows Server 2012 installation DVD inserted.
2) Select the operating system you want to install with a GUI mode.
We can see 2 options (Server Core Installation or Server with a GUI) for each operating system version. (Figure 2)
Figure 2.
Note: Please make sure you have enough disk space on system partition. Or you will get such an error in Compatibility report.(Figure 3)
Figure 3.
After the Compatibility check, the installation will continue. It will take several minutes until upgrading is done.(Figure 4)
Figure 4.
2. Switch the GUI mode to Server Core
Method 1: Using Server Manager
1) Open Server Manager, click
Manger and select “Remove Roles and Features” to start the
Remove Roles and Features Wizard.
2) In Features,
uncheck the box next to the “User Interfaces and Infrastructure” option, and then click “Next”. (Figure 5)
Figure 5.
Now tick the “Restart the destination Server automatically if required” box, then click “Remove”. (Figure 6)
Figure 6.
Method 2: Using Windows PowerShell
There are multiple ways to remove the GUI via Windows PowerShell, we introduce the way of using the ServerManager module.
You can also run the commands in Windows PowerShell with an administrator to remove the GUI feature:
“Import-Module ServerManager”
“Uninstall-Windowsfeature Server-Gui-Shell –Restart”
or
“Uninstall-WindowsFeature Server-Gui-Shell, Server-Gui-Mgmt-Infra –Restart”
It will take a period of time to remove the GUI feature and reboot. When the system boots up, you will get into the Windows Server 2012 with Server Core mode. (Figure 7)

Requirements for managing Server Core

Hello,
What are the requirements for managing Server Core? We have a Windows 2008 functional level forest and domain and were thinking about installing 2012 server core servers but weren't sure we'd be able to manage them with 2008 server or Windows 7 tools.
Thanks,
Robert

Hi Robert,
To remotely manage a server in server core mode, we can use the following ways:
Remotely using Windows PowerShell
Remotely using Server Manager
Remotely using an MMC snap-in
Remotely with Remote Desktop Services
However, we can’t use server manager in Windows Server 2008 or in RSAT for Windows 7 to remotely manage Windows Server 2012 in server core mode. To
use server manager to remotely manage Windows Server 2012 in server core mode, we must use the version of Server Manager in Windows Server 2012 or that is available as part of the Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 8 download package.
Regarding how to manage a Windows Server 2012 in server core mode, the following articles can be referred to for more information.

Connection to a virtual server

Before I start I know this is really a dumb post so if its too dumb just stop reading and go elsewhere.
I am just having a slight issue with connecting my coldfusion server that resides on my virtual server which my local box host.
I will google this but I am really having a real difficult time making a connection.
Thankjs for the time.

Hi,
To allow the Disk Management snap-in to administer Server Core remotely, perform the following steps:
1. Enable the Remote Volume Management rule group in Windows Firewall on your Server Core installation.
2. Start the Virtual Disk Service (VDS) by typing sc start vds at the command prompt.
You can also type: sc config vds start= auto to configure the service to start automatically each time the computer boots.
Then ran the following command on the core server
netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group="Remote Service Management" new enable=yes
--ran the following command on the Win7 machine
cmdkey /add:<Server name> /user:Administrator /pass:<Password>

Hyper v manager: "virtual machine connection has stopped working", when connect to VM

Hello,
cannot find any info on web and View problem details in VIRTUAL MACHINE CONNECTION error box:
"virtual machine connection has stopped working".
I get this error when click Connect in HV Manager. The machines are on and are accessible through RDP.
This is a lab host after restart it randomly works. I have this problem during last week.
Just interesting to know what could cause the problem and if other were seeing something like that...
Also, can connect to machine from SCVMM.
Thx.

I have the exact same issue (running windows 2008 R2 Enterprise). I can RDP to any of the VM but simply cannot connect using console. This is causing me grief since I have to create few more VMs and work with the existing VMs. Without console
access, I cannot create and do any config changes for new VMs. Can someone help. Things that I have tried so far.
1. Exported VMs
2 uninstalled .NET 4 & 3.5.
3. Hyper-v role removed.
4. Reinstalled Hyper-v, reinstalled .NET 4 & 3.5, patch current as of today.
5. Imported the VMs back and still cannot connect. Exactly same error. No errors in any logs in event viewer or Hyper-v logs.
6. Navigated to c:\Program Files\Hyper-v and manually run the VMCONNECT.EXE app (choosing the localhost/server and appropriate VM from the list) but no dice. The app just sits there for ever without any connection.
7. I am baffled and surprised no one has a solution. Tried multiple search engines.
8. The host machine is patch current as of today and there are no patches available to try. Reading through some forums, I have also installed some hotfixes with no luck.
9. Finally, I can see the little graphic for each VM changing as windows is loading or stopping in server manager for hyper-v.
Hoping someone has a solution. The error that pops up is exactly similar and no clues of the faulting module.
Appreciate your time and help.

Hi all,
A
After few months, problem occurred again and i could not install the windows from the scratch over and over again.
I started searching problem online and eventually i found the FIX.
Looks like Registry Entries are getting screwed up somehow.
My "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProvider" was looking exactly as below:
", schannel.dll"
And i made it as below:
"msapsspc.dll,
schannel.dll, digest.dll, msnsspc.dll, credssp.dll"
The solution for the other person in the link ( cannot share link since site does not allow me to ) as a source was only missing "credssp.dll" whereas i was missing everything except "schannel.dll". Strange...
============================
Adding credssp.dll to the list of SecurityProviders in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders
fixed it for me.
My full registry entry now reads "msapsspc.dll,
schannel.dll, digest.dll, msnsspc.dll, credssp.dll"

Can't connect to the Hyper-V manager after upgrading to Windows Hyper-V 2012 R2

I have some Hyper-V server based on the free version (Windows Hyper-V 2012). I want to upgrade to the new version (Windows Hyper-V 2012 R2). So I begin to test it with
an already working server (aka I was able to totally manager the server remotely without problem) and so upgrade it to the R2.
After the upgrade, remote management and Hyper-V manager does not work anymore. So I redo my usual configuration steps (enable remote management, open firewall, uses
latest hvremote.wsf, etc.). I was able to regain access to Computer Manager but not the Hyper-V manager which still can't connect at all. I can't access the Task Scheduler too without having a lot of XML error like "The task XML contains a value which
is incorrectly formatted or out of range" (see below for screenshot).
Is there a new step to do to be able to manage Hyper-V 2012 R2 from a Windows 7 computer?
It's not a network problem as I can access RDP and MMC Computer Manager.
To be sure the problem is coming from the R2, I have taken an old computer, install Windows Hyper-V 2012, do my usual configuration step, and
tada: it works perfectly. I can access the Hyper-V manager from my client.
Technical details:
- Client is a Windows 7 SP1 x64 English member of a domain with latest RSAT (Windows6.1-KB958830-x64-RefreshPkg.msu).
- Servers are in a workgroup (not a domain's member). And no, I can't add them to the same domain as the client.

HI,
Can we upgrade HyperV 2012 to hyper v 2012 R2.
Thanks

Hyper-v manager in windows 8.1 cannot connect to hyper-v server. RPC server unavailable

I am setting up a new server. I installed Hyper-V 2012 R2 on it and want to manage it remotely with Hyper-V manager from a Windows 8.1 computer. I am unable to communicate with the computer with the server. Hyper-V manager gives me the following error: RPC
Server Unavailable. Unable to establish communication between "the hypervserver" and "the W8.1station". Both computer are located in the same subnet and both are on the same domain.
I configured the server with a fixed IP, DNS, to accept pings, connected it to the domain and set it up to allow remote access and management. Although I do not think it is necessary, I added my domain account to the administrators group in the hyper-V server.
I can perfectly ping the server and remote into the server from the W8.1 station. From he server I can also ping the W8.1 station as well as exterior websites (DNS functionality is ok).
I have play with the firewall in both, the Hyper-V server and the management station and have not being able to get them to communicate. Blaming the Hyper-V server for all this and the great time that I have already spent on this problem, I borrowed a Windos
7 Pro computer, installed RSAT and enabled the Hyper-V manager in that computer. Launched the manager AND CONNECTED TO THE HYPER-V SERVER WITH NO PROBLEMS AT ALL !!!!!!!
I have read a lot already about this but most people having this issue are setting up servers in a workgroup environment, and almost nobody is using Windows 8.1 as the management station. Can someone PLEASE give me a hand with this problem??
Thanks to you all !!!
