Hello,
In the article bellow is noted that max clouds per vmm should be 20, what could happen if we extend this limit, by let's say 10 times?

Hi,
After installing VMM 2016 UR6, we encountered the following problem:
The first of the hosts in VMM 2016 after updating receives SMBIOS 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000.
The following cluster nodes cannot refresh, an error occurs:
Error (21201)
SMBIOS GUID is found.
The VMM is also trying to assign them SMBIOS 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000.
It resets the SMBIOS value to 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 in the table [dbo].[tbl_PMM_PhysicalMachine]
SMBIOS values on hosts in the registry HKLM:\System\HardwareConfig and in the table [dbo].[tbl_PMM_PhysicalMachine] are unique.
Re-adding hosts from VMM does not solve the problem.
Hi,
I have a testing enviornment of all in one box , MY DC is hyper-v host , Vmm2012 , SQL are VMs.
I get the follwing error when craeting new VM using VMM , although the VHD file gets depoyed to the hyper-v , bu the ceation fail before install VM components:
Error (2912)
An internal error has occurred trying to contact an agent on the VMM2012.Jitpros.local server: NO_PARAM: NO_PARAM..
Unknown error (0x80072f05)
Recommended Action
Ensure the agent is installed and running. Ensure the WS-Management service is installed and running, then restart the agent.

There currently are no network adapters with network optimization available on host dc01.jitpros.local.
any ideas
I wish to deploy a VM in Azure & install SCVMM in it.
After the deployment, if I establish a Site to site connectivity with my onpremise network, can I use the SCVMM to manage the VM's in my onpremise network & create some VM's in Azure?
I tried setting up a demo environment. SCVMM 2016 is installed & I added the Azure subscription to it. Since I couldn't establish a S2S connectivity, I wasn't able to confirm if we can create new VM's in the onpremise HyperV setup using the SCVMM in Azure.
Can someone confirm if this setup will work?
SCVMM in the onpremise production environment is SCVMM 2012 R2. If we deploy this in Azure, will it be possible to create VM's using this in Azure and Onpremise.
We want to give access to his specific end users to create and delete VM’s as per their requirement on Azure without intervention of IT team.
Is my requirement clear enough to understand?
Hi,
From where i can download SCVMM 2019 version?
I need details for its evaluation version and licensing part.
Thanks,

Hi,
We patch a VM then sysprep it and create VHDX using Export-VM command. This VHDX is used to create a VM Template on SCVMM. After we create a template successfully when trying to create a VM from this Template we get error; 10659 Cannot run Sysprep on virtual machine <servername> because the template does not have a virtual hard disk attached that has been generalized.
Help needed...
Thanks, Kishor
Hi,
Just recently I have been experiencing a problem where all the virtual hosts I am monitoring in SCVMM will go from responding to Needs Attention and all the VMs have the status of Host Not Responding.
The errors in the job log are all the same for each of the virtual hosts (there are 3 in a cluster).
Error (2927)
A Hardware Management error has occurred trying to contact server RC-HYPERV-1.riddlesdown.local .
Unknown error (0x803381a6)
Recommended Action
Check that WinRM is installed and running on server RC-HYPERV-1.riddlesdown.local. For more information use the command "winrm helpmsg hresult".
I've checked the WinRM service on all servers and it is started on all of them, there are no firewalls between the SCVMM server and cluster nodes, VMM service account is a member of the local administrators on the cluster nodes. I can't see anything in any of the events logs around the time everything has stopped.
I can fix it by forcibly stopping the WinRM service (when I try to stop it normally it times out), restarting the WinRM and VMM agent services, then refreshing the host cluster.
Any ideas why all the nodes suddenly stop responding and what I can do about fixing it?

Please help. Thanks in advance.

I want to allow my users to create VMs from a template in VMM and have the computer name of the deployed OS be generated from the user name and department (e.g. DEV-QA-BOB)
As I want to use application profiles to deploy some applications after initial OSD, I will need to use service templates.
How can I set the computer name? At the moment the only way I can see to do it is to run a script on the deployed VM to rename it. Is there any other way?
In our organization, we are using 2016 SCVMM update rollup 3. Everything was fine till November. After patching the ‘KB4467684‘, ‘KB4478877‘, ‘KB4471321 in scvmm server along with all host node, Uplink Port profile is not showing in SCVMM logical switch in host level. So we are facing issues to provide internet access on new VM and unable to add/ change Logical switch in any Host. Even we have install the latest month March 2019 patches on those servers but the result is same. As per bellow link, we have run below cmd in power shell. Still no success. So is there any way to solve this issues or any KB/ patches released by Microsoft.

Hi there
We are currently using SCVMM 2012 to manage our infrastructure. What i wanted to check is its possible to setup a VLAN trunk on SCVMM. What i need is for VM's in a cluster to not be able to communicate with the other VLAN's in our network unless the VLAN ID has been manually specified on the actual VM Network Adapter. For instance i have VLAN 828 on 10.10.208.0/22 as well as VLAN 552 on 172.20.0/24. On the VM network Adapter i specify the vlan id 828 and i can only see that range, if i change the vlan id on the adapter and make it 552 the only see the 172.20 range

Hi Everyone,
I have run into an issue with my SCVMM Implementation. I forgot to change (and did not know about) the default MAC Address pool in two SCVMM Implementations:
2012 R2
2016
Today I had my first overlap, where a new VM could not ping certain machines on the network. Tracked it down to a duplicate MAC address, that was already in use by another VM - on the other SCVMM host cluster.
Is there a way I can modify the MAC address ranges without a major outage? I shrank the MAC Address Pool on the 2012R2 side, which worked.
However when I attempted to modify on the 2016, some of the MAC addresses are already assigned to machines. I would rather not have to shut shut the VM's down (I am guessing if I do that I have to detach the NIC, make my changes, and then attach the NIC again - which will require a shut down).
Thanks.
I have a few hosts in a Cluster that always seem to report 0KB Memory free and the CPU average as 255%.
The two anomalies don't always go hand in hand, for example in a single 8 node cluster I have 4 of the 8 showing 255% CPU but only 3 appear to be reporting incorrect Memory. I haven't observed it enough to be 100% sure but I don't believe it's always the same hosts showing these problems.
It doesn't appear to be affecting the cluster in any way, they appear as balanced as I'd expect them to be. I've just <g class="gr_ gr_499 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Grammar multiReplace" data-gr-id="499" id="499">ran</g> a fresh job and looked at the host status within properties and they all appear to look good.
We have a separate 3rd party that also monitors infrastructure and this reports things like CPU and Memory correctly so this appears specific to the way SCVMM gets the data rather than a generic host issue.
We have a big environment running Windows Server 2012R2 with VMM 2012R2 rollup 13.
Just curious and could not find any documentation explaining how to.
Is there now way of upgrading VMM from 2012R2 to VMM 2019?
Hi,
Is there any way (like Powershell command) to get SCVMM server name for SCVMM running on local computer?
Regards,
Krupal.
Is there any way to use the VMM PowerShell cmdlets if you are not in a VMM administrator role?
I was hoping to do some automation using VMM PowerShell but I didn't want to give admin rights to many users.
Hello,
I currently have SCVMM 2016 (Version: 4.0.2314.4) which I use to manage Server 2016 and Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V Host clusters. I wanted to create a Server 2019 Hyper-V host cluster and add it to SCVMM 2016 but I'm not sure if this is possible or if it is even licensed to do this.
In the past I have tried to add a Server 2016 Host to SCVMM 2012 which caused the console to repeatedly crash. I had to force the removal of the host using Powershell. I don't want to take a chance on our production SCVMM server.
Any and all help is appreciated!

Hi,
I'm trying to move one of our data servers from one Hyper-V server to another using SCCM VMM 2012 R2.
The destination server I want to select is unavailable as 'Network Bandwidth on the virtualization host (<HyperV Server Name>) is not sufficient for all network workloads'
I am able to move other VMs onto the Destination server, and can move VMs off of the Source server. I can move the data server in question to another Hyper V server, just not to the one that I'm after.
For reference, both the source and destination networks are comparable -- the Management networks consist of 2x 1Gbps NICs teamed in Windows Server 2012 R2. The VM networks are 4x 1Gbps NICs teamed in Windows Server 2012 R2 then provided to to the Hyper Visor as Virtual Switch (as configured in HyperV). Neither the Source or Destination servers networks are close to capacity at the best of times.
I've done the usual googling and research, however I can find almost nothing on this particular error. There is no useful error message or code to point me in the right direction for troubleshooting. Comparing the configuration of the one HyperV server that VMM will allow the migration for to the one that it will not allow (NIC driver settings, team settings, HyperV settings), I can see no difference at all.
Anyone seen and or resolved this error before? Or at the least, point me in a useful direction for troubleshooting?
Thanks,
Nick
I cannot get the bare-metal deployment of Windows 2019 by SCVMM2019 onto HP Blade servers. It always fails on the same place, when it is "Enabling Hyper-V". I have used the GUI and PowerShell it always stops/fails at the same place.
Scenario:
In SCVMM2019 with a sysprepped Win2019 Data Centre image published in the VMM Library. All servers are running Win2019 DC - SQL Server is a remote SQL 2017.
Process:
After the "Bare-metal Deployment" process runs for a while....Transferring and Converting the vhd….the iLO screen shows it is "Enabling Hyper-V". After a short while it stops and shows the error:
Error: 80004005: Unspecified error - [not much help there]
Press shift-F10 to open …….a log is at x:\vmm\vmmagentpe.exe.log
That file does not say much....but there is a DISM log file and that contains errors, which includes:
dism cbs error 0x800f0830 cbs_e_image_unserviceable - all other errors seem to relate to this topic.
If I manually build a VM with this sysprepped image, with nested virtualisation enabled, everything works as expected. So it does not appear to be the image itself.
I have seen "https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/97c7a195-6c88-4c74-82f6-70854297cb6a/hyperv-bare-m..." - but it is very difficult to understand what the steps are as it is in German.
Any suggestions?
Stephen
