Working on a new host machine. Setting up the first VM through Windows Admin Center but the new VM creation wizard won't allow me to select an ISO file although it says that is what is required. Any insight on how this can be done would be helpful. Thank you.

Hello, support team!

I have an MS Exchange virtual server,

It's showing a very low disk space.

I have checked its temp files, its more than 63 GB.

1. Is it safe to delete all these 63 GB temp files?

2. Is there any software which can check the necessary files in server and delete the waste files automatically/manually?

Thanks in Advance!

How Virtualization Works

$

Virtualization one hundred and one Due to the constraints of x86 servers, many IT agencies have to install multiple servers, every working at a fraction in their potential, to maintain tempo with today’s excessive storage and processing demands. The end result: huge inefficiencies and immoderate running costs.

Input virtualization. Virtualization is based on software to simulate hardware capability and create a digital computer system. This allows IT groups to run a couple of virtual system – and multiple operating structures and programs – on a unmarried server. The resulting advantages include Vmware course economies of scale and greater performance.

Virtual Machines defined: A digital computer device is called a “virtual device” (VM): a tightly remoted software box with an running gadget and alertness inside. Each self-contained VM is completely unbiased. Setting more than one VMs on a single pc enables several running structures and applications to run on simply one physical server, or “host.”
 
A skinny layer of software referred to as a “hypervisor” decouples the digital machines from the host and dynamically allocates computing sources to every virtual gadget as needed.

Key properties of virtual Machines
VMs have the subsequent characteristics, which provide numerous blessings.

Partitioning

Run multiple operating systems on one physical gadget.
Divide machine resources among digital machines.
Isolation

Provide fault and safety isolation at the hardware stage.
Maintain overall performance with superior resource controls.
Encapsulation

Store the whole kingdom of a virtual gadget to documents. Move and copy digital machines as without difficulty as shifting and copying files.
Hardware Independence

Provision or migrate any digital system to any physical server.

PXE boot to a VM Image

$

I have been scouring the internet looking for a conclusive answer to my question. What I need to know is, is it possible to boot a pc using PXE and load a VM image that it can then use? I want to be able to use Hyper-V to create a Windows 7 image that can then be accessed from the PXE booted machine. I have a virtualisation host, session host, Web server, all the roles I need and can successfully use the web server to access the virtual desktops but my aim is to use a Diskless client to access it too. I know I seem to be repeating myself but all I seem to be able to find is threads on booting a VM using PXE in the VM only. Also I can boot from PXE to use the boot.wim and the image.wim. 

Thanks in advance

With that being said, as of currently our RDS environment doesnt have  a load balancing function so everytime we go on to do a maintenence on oneof the server, we have to tell the user to connect to the secondary

from the next RDS server i want to implement a load balancing function so its a win win for both admin and the user

i did a little research and apparently by building a secondary RD broker server i can achieve this

i wanted to get some advice or help from you guys if its possible on regardain how i would go about this?

i have a lab environment so ican test it out, but i read somehwere that i cannot use SQL expresss in order to achieve the load balancing function

if anyone could give me an insight on how i can achive this it would be more than appreicated!

Does 2016 storage replica support cluster > standalone replication ?

We have two VMs using shared storage on a production hyper-v host.  Is it possible to set-up storage replica to a standalone hyper-v host ?  for additional redundancy.

Upgraded host server from 2012 R2 to 2016. Hyper-V gues hangs on the black Hyper-V screen

$

I have several virtual machines that were running fine on my Windows server 2012 R2 host. The host is now running Windows Server 2016. When I attempt to boot the virtual servers they hang on the black Hyper-V screen and I do not have the circle of dots at the bottom... It just hangs there.

If I move them to a Server 2012 host, they boot fine.

Any idea what I can do to get them to boot up on the 2016 host?

Latest Windows update hanging all VM's

Our server infrastructure is set to manually update however the latest patch Tuesday has ground our entire network to a halt.

The 9 April 2019 update appears to have started itself and has been running for an extended period of time effectively hanging the production servers

We are having to log into each machine and disable the update to get it responsive again.

Anyone else getting the same problem??

Backing Up a Bare Metal Windows Server 2008 and Restoring to a 2008 Hyper in a 2012 Host

$

I need to decommission a 2008 server which is presently the only server on the domain but for various reasons I need to restore it in the new physical server which is running server 2012 without making any changes to the configuration. All applications and files should be accessible with minimal configuration changes.

I have already done a backup of the bare metal but the image size is too large to put on USB or DVD. 

Suggestions and advice will be appreciated.

2016 RDS Deployment broken

$

We have a Server 2016 Standard RDS deployment on ESXi 6.0.0 hosts. We're publishing a single remoteapp. I can connect to Web Access, and start launching. The desktop appears, and loads the user profile, then immediately signs out. I can however RDP to the session host, and launch the application successfully, which leads me to believe it's an RDS configuration issue. The event logs have these errors every time it signs the account out.

'Failed CreateVirtualChannel call on this Connections Stack' in CUMRDPConnection::CreateVirtualChannel at 2349 err=[0xd0000001]

'Failed GetConnectionProperty' in CUMRDPConnection::QueryProperty at 2735 err=[0x80004001]

Google searches seem to point to an issue with RemoteFX, but I've confirmed it's disabled in the registry and in group policy.
