Windows 8.1 Metro and Hyper-V

I am running Windows 8.1 Pro on my laptop. For testing purposes I have Hyper-V installed. It seems though when I have Hyper-V installed and associate a Virtual Switch to my wireless card to give internet access to guests in Hyper-V the Metro apps
stop communicating to the internet through the wireless. I can plug into the Ethernet and it works fine, but as this laptop is mostly portable I don't have the opportunity to use Ethernet that often. Also even after removing the virtual switch they still don't
have access. The only way to get the Metro side to start working is to uninstall Hyper-V then it works fine over WiFi.
I've tried new Drivers and Firmware and my laptop is completely up to date with Windows Updates.
I know some of you must have the same setup, has anyone seen this issue and or have a solution?

You were right, I tried my wireless network at home and it worked, it's a D-Link. So I went back to the office and it didn't work, Netgear WPN824v3. For complete confirmation I tried another Netgear, different model, that I keep around for testing and it
worked as well. It seems there is something with the software on the WPN824v3 that makes it not work, unfortunately I'm also on the latest version.
Well it's old so I guess I can't complain to much, in my office we just don't do that much wireless stuff to justify a fancy business class AP. For the time being I simply disabled the DHCP on the office wireless router and let it run
through it's own VLAN through an open port on my Firewall, this allows my laptop Metro apps to communicate to the internet. I've been meaning to do this for awhile to get some insight as to what exactly is happening on my wireless network. I would just be
very curious as to what could've caused this in the software.
Thank you very much for your help!

Windows 8.1 Prof and Hyper-v Server 2012 R2 core export snapshot hile VM is running

Hi,
I have ugraed my client to Windws 8.1 prof. After some digging i found out that it was posible to export a snapshot(if you have multiple snapshot) while using Hyper-v manager in windows 8.1 to a Hyper-v 2012R2 server. In my old pc win 7 prof i had the option
to export but it didt work on running VM. On the win 8.1 i dont have that options? am i missing some updates?
Any tips? fix?

Hi Martinbt,

As you mentioned "it was possible to export snapshot " , but then you said you don't have that
option .
Could you please detail what is your goal ?
( "snapshot" equal to "checkpoint" )

Windows 10 Enterprise Preview and Hyper-V Gen 2

If I try to install the Windows 10 Enterprise x64 preview on a Hyper-V Generation 2 VM, it fails to boot from the ISO with a SCSI error immediately. The error says Synthetic SCSI controller Failed to power on with Error 'The version does not support this
version of the file format."
Is this isolated or is everyone seeing this?

Mouse not working in Virtual machine (win2k3 32 and 64 bit) on Windows Server 2008 RC1 With Hyper-V Technologies

I have installed two virtual machines(win2k3 32bit and win2k3 64bit ) on Windows Server 2008 RC1 With Hyper-V Technologies (Beta) enterprise. Mouse is getting lost inside VM (using CTRL+ ATL + LEFT ARROW comes mouse control control in host OS).
Is there any setting to make mouse works? Insert Integration Serice setup Disk operation succeeds.

all credits for mike_something
The problem is that the old mousedriver is hooked to the mouse device class.
To remove this dependency, go into the registry and navigate to the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E96F-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Remove the value msvmmouf from the UpperFilters Regvalue.
Reboot....
tadaaa!!
If you wish you can take out the drivers completely by deleting these registry hives completely :
The driver:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\msvmmouf
The Service:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\VPCMap
The CopyHook Shell Extension: ( for folder access )
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{30C14BA C-122C-42ED-B319-1139DBF48EB8}\InProcServer32

After a reboot you can delete the "Virtual Machine Additions" folder from program files...
Good Luck!

Windows 8.1 Metro Scan and MG6220 won't save scan

Got a new Dell Inspiron laptop. I am able to preview and scan a document in the Windows 8.1 Metro scan app, but I get an error message saying scan can't be saved. I downloaded the latest Canon Mimi Master software. Also, the regular Windows Fax & Scan app works fine. Anyone have a solution to get the Metro Scan App to work properly?

Hello CarolinaAsh,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you're unable to scan a document using the Officejet 4500 G510N. I will do my best to assist you! Did the Print and Scan Doctor detect a scanning problem?
How is this printer connected? Wireless or USB?
Did you install the full feature software on your computer successfully? I realize the scan capture or the Windows scan doesn't detect your printer, but could you try scanning a document using the HP software to see what happens. Please follow this HP document on How to Scan: Windows 8.
If you receive an error message, please let me know. I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great night!

Windows 8.1 and Hyper-V

Hi All
I have successfully installed windows 8.1 and Hyper-V on my HP Probook 4540s having previously run Windows 8 but I have been totally unable to import any of my Generation 1 Virtual Machines as the wizard says no machine found. These all previously in Windows
8. is there a setting I have not found or is this a beta (preview) problem? If there is no work around I will have to revert to Windows 8.

I have found my own solution all be it a tedious one.
I built a Windows Server 2012 machine and activated Hyper-V (I believe a Windows 8.0 with Hyper-V would also have worked)
Installed the virtual machines from the Microsoft installation disks
Exported the Machines to a USB Drive. I found that it made no difference if I powered up the VMs before exporting them. It seems that all that was required is to install them into Server 2012 Hyper-V and then export them.
Imported the VM into Windows 8.1 and they imported correctly.
As a trial I also exported the Machines from Windows Server 2008 R2 but these machines would not import into Windows 8.1
I trust that this will be resolved by the installation wizard before the full release
Frank
Frank
I doubt that this will change in the RTM version. Import/Export has changed in 2012R2 and I expect Win 8.1 to be the same.
This was posted in reply to a similar question in the Hyper-V forum by Taylor Brown from the dev team.
VM's that are exported from Windows Server 2008 or 2008 R2 utilized the version 1 WMI namespace which resulted in a .exp file to represent the exported virtual machine.
In Windows Server 2012 we introduced a new WMI namespace (version 2 or root\virtualization\v2) which implemented a much better import/export model – allowing you to effectively just copy the virtual machine folder (with the VM’s XML configuration file
inside it) as well as the VM’s VHDs and then import that directly.
For Windows Server 2012 we maintained the version 1 WMI namespace which allowed for importing of Windows Server 2008/R2 VM’s on 2012.
In Windows Server 2012 R2 we have removed the old version 1 namespace which means we can’t import virtual machines that where exported from Windows Server 2008/R2.
However we can import them if you copy the virtual machine xml file and VHD’s – to do this you need to stop the vmms on the 2008/R2 server – copy all of the virtual machine files/vhds to the Windows Server 2012 R2 server and then import them.

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
Marc

I 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"

How to share file between windows server host and hyper-v windows server ??

Hi there
I installed windows server 2012 r2 as my host windows and again installed windows swrver 2012 r2 on hyper-v in one system .

Hi
thanks to you both
but when we install windows server as host there is not our windows in the
Internet\Network and sharing center\ ....... and in the file explorer > network
I found it when I add server host in server manager in guest server and manage it as host server user and then share files and folders from computer management and then create a shortcut from the share folder to desktop
and the did same for guest ... add guest server in server manager in the host server and manage it as guest server user and then share it's files and folders from the computer management and create a shortcut of share folder to desktop
if host windows be a client windows so this is so easy because after we install hyper-v win-server and go to file explorer > network > so we able to see both windows and all files and folders there but if host windows be a win-server we can't see them
in file explorer > network
thanks you both again

Unable to Install Windows Server 2012 on Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 Hyper-V

My attempts to install are failing with a message "Windows cannot install required files. The file may be corrupt or missing....Error code: 0x800705070".
I am posting this on the Wondows 2012 Server forum but I have had exactly the same problem as described below with Windows 2008 R2 SP1.
As the title says this is on a Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 host with all current updates. I have downloaded the ISO file from a Technet subscription file twice, once by direct download and once by the Akamai downloader. The virtual disk is connected with
the default IDE driver. I mounted both installation images as ISOs, located on a file system on the host server. I have tried installs by deleting the VM and recreating both the VM and a new virtual disk, re-using a previously created virtual disk, and
deleting the partitions in a previously created virtual disk, and executing the format command, and then attempting the install.
I have exactly the same problem trying to create a Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 VM on the same host OS. With those attempts, I downloaded the Technet subscription iso 4 or 5 times, and burned one to a DVD which I attached to the created VM. Same
error message.
The virtual machines and virtual disks I created and used were all located on an RAID5 array, on a builtin Intel RAID controller using Intel Rapid Storage Technology software version 11.2.0.1066. The host Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 uses this file system
but the OS is installed on a dedicated drive (C).
I had previously created a guest VM with Windows Server 2008 R2 (several months worth of updates ago) without drama.
I have spent hours reading forums and blog articles on this. A common response is to download the iso another time, and/or burn it to a DVD instead of mounting an iso image. Although I didn't do the later yet with 2012 Server, but I have done these
other steps attempting to install Windows 2008 Server SP1. The install process takes a while (not to mention doing multiple downloads). Given this seems to be a common recommended remedy, and indeed based on posts does seem to eliminate the problem is some
cases, why doesn't somebody change the Microsoft installer program so it does a thorough integrity check at the beginning of the install process?

Jeff,
After the exercise of Windows 2012 Server successfully installing (as I described above) I also successfully installed Windows 2008 R2 on Hyper-V. From my standpoint, I have eliminated the problem (which isn't the same as correcting the problem).
The answer to your specific question regarding Hyper-V support is that the motherboard I am using, an Asus P5Q, is not supported by Windows 2008 R2 because it doesn't use ECC memory, and the vendor doesn't say it supports Windows 2008. But I am sure you
know the motherboard vendors often don't test older motherboards with newer software versions. It appears that in specifying ECC memory Microsoft is trying to protect users of Windows Server from hurting themselves, not saying the software won't run.
Having said that, my suspicion in the beginning was, and still is, that it was some variable(s) left in an unknown state in the Hyper-V environment, which was why after trying to install Windows 2008 R2 several times I tried Windows 2012 which resulted in
the same error, and then encountered the same error trying to install Windows 7 on the same Hyper-V installation. The specific Hyper-V Windows 2008 R2 server had run without any operating problems for months before I started having trouble, and although it
had been quite a while since I had created VMs, that process used to work. The hardware didn't change. What changed was applying updates through Microsoft Update, and a few access control rights I changed, and at least I think, I set back to their original
value.
So in short, no, my hardware isn't supported by Windows 2008 Server. Two, your assertion that you are running the same software configuration that I am is very unlikely to be true. There are an extremely large number of things which are different between
your test system and mine, such as which Windows 2008 components are installed, what updates were installed and in what order they were installed, and what other third party software each of us is running, and between AD, and all the features, a large number
of potential differences in ACLs, options, etc. and I don't for a minute think this particular problem was caused by the underlying hardware.
I do appreciate your taking the time to try to help me, and I hope there is one thing you and I could agree on. Microsoft could pretty easily make it much easier to isolate problems. In this day and age reporting hex error codes (as opposed to doing the
table lookup in the error handling proc), and not providing more diagnostic information seems to me to be almost quaint. And in this case Microsoft can dismiss my problems on the grounds it was all on unsupported hardware. Unfortunately, I think they
are missing an opportunity to make their software better, because in my opinion what I encountered there are a set of conditions which will cause installations to fail that aren't going to get corrected.

Why do I need to install RSAT on Windows 8.1 for accessing Hyper-V Server 2012 R2?

Since Windows 8.1 has Hyper-V Platform and Hyper-V Manager built in to it, if I just enable the Hyper-V Manager on my Windows 8.1 client machine I should be able to access the standalone Hyper-V Server 2012 R2 (which I'm planning to install on my 2nd machine)
right?
Then why every article I found on this suggests to install RSAT on my client machine?

Hi Nero,
RSAT is used for these server/client can not enable hyper-v role to manage the corresponding hyper-v server .
Please refer to following supported OS list of
client hyper-v :
Windows 8 Pro 64-bit Edition
Windows 8 Enterprise 64-bit Edition
Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit Edition
Windows 8.1 Enterprise 64-bit Edition

Does DPM 2012 R2 with rollup 2 support any version of Windows Server 2003/2008 on Hyper-V?

We have Hyper-V Hosts with VMs which include Windows 2003/2003R2/2008/2008R2.
If I we upgrade to DPM 2012 R2 Update Rollup 2, will we be able to backup all those VMs now? The support matrix (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj860400.aspx)
still seems to show what is supported by the initial release of DPM 2012 R2, not an updated version for the rollup.
We currently use DPM 2012 SP1 and Hyper-V hosts using Server 2012.

Hi,
This is kind of a loaded question because DPM 2012 R2 never dropped support for protecting Windows 2003/2008 using host level backup.
However, the support matrix will be updated shortly to include the added support for protecting workloads on Windows 2003 / 2008 using DPM 2012 R2 UR2.

Antivirus software exclusions for DFS and Hyper-V

I am rolling out an updated antivirus solution to our DFS server and Hyper-V (Windows 2008 and 2012) and I am curious of the following:
1. What are the exclusion suggestions for Hyper-V servers? I found a URL that showed the exceptions to add but I thought there would be more for Hyper-V to exclude.
2. What are the specific exclusions to include for a DFS server? I read somewhere that there were some DFSR hidden folders that need to be included but I would like to know if there is an official suggestion from Microsoft of what files/folders need
to be excluded.

Hi,
Anti-virus software should exclude Hyper-V specific files which listed in the article below:
Hyper-V: Anti-Virus Exclusions for Hyper-V Hosts
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/2179.hyper-v-anti-virus-exclusions-for-hyper-v-hosts.aspx

Error file share not managed but fabric- provider/fileserver and hyper-v host show managed/responding

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.
