I am attempting to enable the virtual TPM on a Hyper-V VM, when enabled I attempt to start the VM and am given the error:

Hello All,

We have a virtual Server 2016 at work. Which keeps reoccurring event 1000. So I would like to investigate. Where is this coming from? Do we need to take up any measures? is this high impact? how to resolved if needed.

Would anyone assist me with this please?

Thank you all in advanced.

Hi,

Can you help me to convert virtual machines hosted in linux KVM to hyper-V 2012 server?

Hello,

At one of our customers’ sites, we are having issues on terminal server running Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard. Every day, when a specific user logs in, folder redirections are applied. After these directions are applied, the explorer.exe process crashes. The only resolution is to reboot the server. It does not matter how the user logs in. It is happening both on thin client, PC or laptop for this user. Later, the process also crashed when another user logged in. The error does not occur when user disconnects session, only when he/she logs on or off. Recently, this started happening for a second user aswell for no clear reason.

It’s important to note the issue started happening when about 130 Windows Updates were applied.

Following possible solutions have already been executed:

• Checking Windows image health;
• Running chkdsk command for disk errors;
• Applying a Windows update which solved an similar issue at another customers’ site, this did not solve the issue;
• I read on the forums that removing KB4055001, KB4074594 and KB4054980 could help, however this did not solve the issue since these KBs were not even installed;
• Removed 2 possibly related Windows Updates in the KB405 range, this did not help either;

What can we do in order to fix this error?

Following error shows up every time in the event logs:

Hi there, We are experiencing some problems with our Bitlocker Network Unlock for all our clients, we need to enter the PIN after turning on the computers. We have the following infastructure (all of the servers below are virtual machines - Windows Server 2012R2):

• 2 Domain controllers (one with Bitlocker Infrastructure Encryption feature installed) 
• 1 Bitlocker server (Bitlocker Drive Encryption and Bitlocker Network Unlocked feature installed + WDS)
• 6 UniFi switches (PoE)

What did we do before the problem started?

1. We updated the firmware of all the UniFi switches to version 4.0.54.10625.    It's possible that the firmware update caused the problem, we see that there is an option to downgrade the firmware to the older version but we want to make sure that it's related to the firmware.

We checked the eventlogs of the WDS and see the following information:
[WDSSERVER/WDSPXE/NKPPROV] Could not find the configuration file section coreresponding to the specified certificate thumbprint. No subnet restrictions will aply to this certificate. Certificate thumbprint =...... HRESULT = 0x80070002.

We checked the following eventlog on the client side (Error: Bitlocker-Driver / EventID 24682 / EventID 24684):
"BOOTMGR FAILED TO OBTAIN THE  BITLOCKER VOLUME MASTER KEY FROM THE NETWORK KEY PROTECTOR: FAILED TO GET IP ADDRESS

5. We de-installed all the recent Windows Updates to make sure it's not related.
6. The UEFI stack is enabled on all the devices, didn't change anything, also no BIOS updates.
7. We checked if the Bitlocker group policy applies to the systems, it is.
8. We checked the Key protectors with the command ‘manage-bde –protectors C: -get on the client side. It shows all key protectors and certificate thumbprint.

I hope somebody can help us.

Hi Everyone,

Please help me to understand this. We have a single site, single domain environment which is running on Windows 2012 R2 server. I can see that 'Max App Log Size policy' is applying and it is set to 16xxx KB but when I log-in to any server and check manually, I can see the maximum application log size  is set to 32XXX KB.

I have checked and found that I have a Group Policy that is set at:

Computer Config\Policies\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Event Log: Maximum application log size = 16XXX kilobytes, gpresult shows the above policy setting is the winning GPO.

I've just noticed another GPO setting that looks similar and which actually applying on my all servers-

Computer Config\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Event Log Service\Application: Specify the maximum log file size (KB). I wonder what the difference is? 

I have one customer that not sure whether windows XP can join Active Directory 2019 or not.

I read through the forum that some claim they can work fine, some say there some hiccups and some say cannot work. 

Hoping that you guys can help me on this. 

Hi, in our organization we are running virtualized SQL server on failover cluster (2 nodes). For performance issues I wanted to increase number of virtual processors withing hyper-v manager only to find its greyed out. The machine was shut down, yet the option remained unchangable (screenshot is from running server). There are two NUMAs set up, see attachments. Any ideas why is the option greyed out? How can I change number of virtual processors to lets say 8?

Sorry cannot paste screenshots:

Hello Everyone,

please help me to sort-out this meter,

we are planing to install Hyper-v ( Head office and branch office) with Hyper-v Replication.

i Refer this video also : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyAmfRXp6hc

i want to know can any chance to do "Hyper-v replication Automation" , if anyone have an idea please suggest me.

Thank you very much!

It appears that microsoft server 2019 can not run any task regardless of extenstion if said scheduled task's elapsed time to completion exceeds 5 minutes, and at 5 minutes of elapsed time that task will be ended automatically without error, or log.

Steps to confirm

a .bat and a .exe were both scheduled to run on a 2019 server and at 5 minutes the tasks did do what they were intended to do but not completely as they were ended immediately at the 5 minute limit.

Scheduled tasks on 2019 have a lowest limit of auto kill of the process at 1 hour, not 5 minutes, all automatically stop options, in triggers and settings were deselected, all options to stop the process for any reason were deselected.

those same .bat files were run from file explorer and both ran to completion

Please fix this asap!

Dear All :) , 

After greetings , i have a win server 2012 r2 dc installed inside vmware workstation 12 , after i follow these steps in the link below 

https://www.interfacett.com/videos/clone-windows-server-2012-2012-r2-domain-controller/

to clone it , there is no export like hyper-v , so i selected cloning from vmware workstation 12 options , after finished the new server started in a safe mode , i don't know what is the problem or am i wright in my steps when i choose cloning not exporting or i need to clone without cmd from vmware 12 options only .
