2003 R2 server networking in Hyper-V on windows 10

$

0

My 2003 servers in Hyper-V on windows 10 don't get a network adaptor when built. 

There is no integration services in Hyper-V on windows 10, so i can't plug the drivers in that way. 

When I try to add a nic, there is no legacy nic option. 

Is it now impossible to simulate a 2003 R2 migration using a windows 10 host? I hope so, otherwise the piece of work i just signed up for is impossible to lab without purchasing additional hardware to run 8.1 on.

I work in an organization which has 18 servers and around 170 PC's. During free hours i need to practice and create Active Directory  DNS etc. I have installed a VM Ware and installed server 2008 on it. i need to ask if i start i start creating AD and else in the network will it effect the network of my company....??? because my company has a Virtual Additional Domain Controller and a DC.

If i want to Test or Practise will my company network gets disturb...?? if yes is there any alternate solution so that i can practice without affecting to network

Hyper V Replica Issues

Has anybody had any issue when you do a planned failover with a server 2012 r2 print server and no one can print from the failover server?  The server is also a dns server and no one can resolve any host names but the server itself can print and resolve host names just fine.  There is nothing in the windows logs but both severs do have 6 nics in a nic team, not sure if that would cause an issue.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Word template is filling very slowly on VM

My program opens MS Word 2013 template and is filling him.

Word template on ANY physical machine is filling very fast. 

But on virtual machine - very slowly. How fix it?

PS:

VM - server 2012 R2 (host - server 2012). Processor load - 30%. Disk load and memory load are free.






Hyper-V Licensing

Hi Team,

I need to understand about " Licensing Peaking" 

we build hyper-v cluster with  4 Nodes [ Enabled Fail over cluster and Hyper-v Role] . On base servers we installed WIN 2008 R2 Enterprise edition. Running 40 VM's across the cluster each host hold 10 VM's .

 I covered my license as mentioned below now 100% compliance

per host  1 No WIN 2008 R2 ENT + 3 WIN 2012 R2 STD.  [ Enterprises - 4 VM's per License  + STd - 2 VM's per license ] 

Now i need to know if i am moving one instance from one host to other host , do i need additional license for the host .

Thanks & Regards

Setting up a static IP for virtual machine

$

0

All,

I am really struggling with getting the IP address set statically for my RHEL 6.5 Linux server that is virtualized on Windows 2012 using Hyper-V.  I had it working and then I power outage caused a shutdown, which then ultimately resulted in a restart of the Windows 2012 server.  Now I cannot reach the Linux server from SSH or Samba share.  I checked the ifconifg on the machine and it was not the static address.  I changed to the static IP, but nothing changed.

Do I set the static IP address at the virtual machine level?  If so, how is this done using Hyper-V?

I am not really sure what went wrong here!  I just want the IP address to be static on the Linux server so that users can connect.  I suppose I could setup DNS for the host name, but I have not really even gotten to the point that I feel comfortable with the current setup.

How to point App-V Publishing Server Configuration

We have built two App-V servers named AppV01 and AppV02.  We plan to configure these two servers to work with F5 Load Balancer so that it will take advantage of the load balancing feature. We setup a URL ashttp://AppV:594/ as the NLB link and port. During App-V server installation, it prompts for URL address of the publishing server.  Can we puthttp://AppV:594/ or we need to put into the App-V server name likehttp://AppV01:594/?  Can we point it to http://AppV:594/?

Thanks,

I created a Windows Server 2003 virtual machine for web dev testing. I encountered a problem that an simple testing ASP classic file can't be shown in the testing server even if I set "Allow" in the IIS "Web Service Extensions". 

Is there any other switch controlling if ASP files can be run?

Thanks in advance

Failed in Virtual Server

Successful in production server:

establish cross forest trust and have drisync server connect to internet as well as remote forest for cross forest user syncing

I have a Hyper-V lab environment

Machines in forest  abc.com 

DC1.abc.com   IP 192.168.1.1

Win7-1           IP 192.168.0.5

Dirsync server IP 192.168.0.4

EXCH-2010-1  IP 192.168.0.2

Machines In forest xyz.com 

DC2      IP  192.138.1.1

Win7-2     IP 192.168.1.2

EXCH-2010-2 IP 192.168.1.3

There is  cross forest two way trust established between abc.com and xyz.com and in the middle i have made a router machine with RRAS role in it and have assigned two adapters to that machine    IP address for adapter forest abc.com is 192.168.0.6 and IP for adapter forest xyz.com is 192.168.1.2 . Machine in both the forests are able to ping each other on direct IP address es and also FQDNs.  Now here is my main issue  If i make one more Internal network adapter in hyper-V and which will obviously show up under network connection section in my Base/host machine. Then the main physical LAN card into the base/host machine that i have, i right click on it and share the internet with the newly created network adapter and assign it to my Dirsync server. All goes well and now dirsync server can access internet and is successfully syncing user accounts.  

But as we know that new tool which is ADconnect has capability of syncing multiple forests. So i plan to add the forest xyz.com also and sync users to my office 365 tenant. But unfortunately in cannot communicate to the xyz forest. 

then i noticed that if i disable the internet sharing adapter in the dirsync machine and let the domain adapter turned ON. It can ping the machines in the cross forest. Its just that the moment i turn ON the other adapter which i made for internet sharing Disrync machine is no more able to ping or add forest xyz.com to sync users from. 

Then i ran tracert from command prompt to see why the request is not going , and i found that just because Dirsync server has got the IP address  192.168.0.4 it is able to ping every other machine in that IP range , but the moment i ping 192.168.1.XXX it is taking the path (not from the RRAS router to reach the cross forest) but from the internet enabled network adapter which i have assigned to this machine for internet accessibility to be able to sync users to Azure active directory in office 365 which i wish i should not do.

How can i make My DirSync machine connect to the internet at the same tie it should be able to ping DC1 (192.168.0.1) as well as DC2 (192.168.1.1) at the same time and any other address apart from these forest it should straight away go to internet for public DNS lookup ?

Thanks in advance

Expand RAID or create new RAID?

$

Hi,

We have a Hyper-v host (windows 2008 R2) hosting two VM servers (both Windows 2008 R2).

Both the host and the VMs sit in a RAID 10 made up of four 300Gb (3.5 inch) SAS drives using a PERC H710.

We need to run some more VMs but have run out of space.

  1. Is it ok to add four 600Gb (3.5 inch) SAS drives and create a new and separate RAID 10?
  2. We assume this will be available to the original Hyper-v host?
  3. Can we leave the two existing VMs on the current RAID 10 and run all the new VMs from the new four 600Gb SAS RAID 10?

The new VMs will mostly be Windows 7 Pro.

Many thanks in advance.

Can't find Virtualization settings in AMI BIOS

$

0

Asus machine, running Windows 8.1 Home

BIOS American Megatrends 0402 from 2013

Can't create a virtual machine because virtualization is not enabled. 

Can't find it in any of the BIOS menus though. Seems to be a common problem with AMD processors and the AMI BIOS. 

Some people find it in security settings and some in system settings, while most in CPU settings. None of those or any other menus show any virtualization options at all. Nothing for AMD-V or SVM.

I downloaded Speccy and discovered that my processor does support virtualization but is not enabled of course. No support for hyper threading. But should still be able to create a VM.

Is there a way to unhide this virtualization option? Which menu??

Hyper-V vs HP Autoloader

$

I've a HP Proliant DL380 Gen8 and a HP Autoloader 1/8. The SO is Windows Server 2012 Standard and on a Hyper-V also a Windows Server 2012 Standard. The backup software is Symantec Backup Exec.

When restart the physical server with the Autoloader turned on, the Hyper-V can't open the virtual machine disk file, so the virtual machine doesn't start.

If i turned off the Autoloader before starting the physical server, the Hyper-V will open the virtual machine disk file, normally and the virtual machine will start. And only after i can turn on the Autoloader and restart the Symantec Backup Exec services.

I've already contacted HP Support and they told me that the problem is on Microsoft side.

Did anyone had this same problem?

DHCP and DNS setup

$

I am new to windows server setups.  I am doing self-study and taking online courses for my MCSA.  I have watched a few  dhcp and dns setup videos. So here is my setup.  I have my modem ip which is the usual 192.168.0.1 address and this is the default gateway and dhcp server from my ISP.  Behind the router I have a Win 10 pro desktop which I have setup virtualbox since it is free and I can't afford VMware. 

I have setup 2 servers, server A and server B.  Server A is my first domain controller and server B is the 2nd for failover.  I have my own domain xyz.com.  I setup both the AD DS, DHCP and DNS on both servers.  I connected both servers to my xyz.com domain.  I have setup and authorized the DHCP servers and DNS scopes.  I then added my first client to AD and connected it to the domain.  Initially it did not see the AD DC for xyz.com domain.  I went to the ethernet adapter settings and went to advanced properties for the IPV4 settings and pointed it to the static ip addresses I set for my dns servers and I was able to move the client from the workgroup to my domain.

Then to test my new setup I setup an ip reservation for the client, but it is still pulling the ip from my router.  I am not sure what I am doing wrong but I need to know how to get the client to pull the ip settings from the DHCP servers rather than the modem from my isp?

i checked another VM machine that another machine is good , it can be remote by console except this machine. thanks.

Message 1

cannot connect to the virtual machine. Try to connect again. If the problem persists, contact your system administrator.

Would you like to try connecting again?

Remote Desktop Connection keeps "Reconnecting"

$

1-
When I use Remote Desktop to connect to a Windows 10 VM, running on Windows 2012 R2 Core Server, the connection is lost after a couple of minutes, and then reconnects (usually on the first attempt, out of 20) only to lose connectivity again. This process repeats endlessly, no matter if there is a process (like "ping -t", ftp, etc.) running on the VM machine or not. This makes the entire VM structure useless.

2- 
If I connect to the same VM as above using Hyper-V manager (Connect.. option) running on a Win8 or Win10 cumputer the connection is stable, never lost, so no problem.
But o
nce I close this window, the process (for ex. "ping -t ") started on the VM machine drops as well.

Any ideas, suggestions, help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

There,

I am using trial version of the MS - Dynamics CRM - 2016 trial version, and accessing organization web Service, many times I am getting an error saying me

"The server was unable to process the request due to an internal error.  For more information about the error, either turn on IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults (either from ServiceBehaviorAttribute or from the <serviceDebug> configuration behavior) on the server in order to send the exception information back to the client, or turn on tracing as per the Microsoft .NET Framework SDK documentation and inspect the server trace logs."

This error dont convey me an information which I can dig and fix or understand the problem, I want specialize error message.

In short, no time I expect generalize error what should I do.

Thanks and Regards,

is there a windows 2003 R1 emulator ? I have couple of applications which are running on 2003, they are not compatible with 2008 R1/R2 or a 2012. I was thinking of running some kind of a 2003 environment emulator on a 2008/2012 machine to see if this would work. I read somewhere about a Windows on Windows kind of scenarios. Just wanted to  check if this is an option.

Hyper V Cluster Share NICs for VMs and Management

$

Hi All,

Ive been bugging about this setup, I can't sleep and been thinking if this is possible.

In our production environment, we have HyperV 2012 cluster and each hosts has 8 NICs with 1GB each.

2 NICs - Host Management
2 NICs - Live Migration
2 NICs - Cluster/heartbeat
2 NICS - DMZ Trunk

We have 5 VMs here, all of them are using the DMZ Trunk. There's a plan now to remove the 2 VMs on the DMZ network and connect to production network.
Host Management is also connected to production network.

Since I dont have NICs for the VMs to use for production network and the only available is Host Management NICs.

1. Is it possible to use the Host Management Network?
2. If does, how should I do it? Is below step is correct?
a. Create a new external vSwitch and use the Host Management Network.
b. Check Allow management operating system to share this network adapter and assign production VLAN.
c. Modify the target VMs to use the new vSwith and change their IPs.
3. Technically is it possible the above steps?

Let me know your thoughts please?
