The System Center 2012 R2 Evaluation Guide contains a link to a file called 'Datacenter Evaluation Deployment Tool.msi' on page 19. This file is supposed to contain installation/configuration scripts provided by Microsoft to help set up a 2012 R2 datacenter evaluation footprint.
However, the link gets redirected to a general download page.
Can someone please let me know where to find these scripts?
Thanks in advance!

We've been running VMM 2008 without any issues for weeks. Starting a few days ago, we started to get the following error when trying to launch the administrator console:
The SQL Server service account does not have permission to access Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS).
Ensure that the SQL Server service is running under a domain account or a computer account that has permission to access AD DS.For more information, see "Some applications and APIs require access to authorization information on account objects" in the Microsoft Knowledge Base at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=121054.
ID: 2607
We have the VMM service running under a domain account. After doing some digging, it turns out that at about the same time this stopped working, another completely unrelated user account was added in the domain. Ever since then, we receive the error above, and the follow error is getting logged in Event Viewer --> Custom Views --> Administrative Events:

Every time you attempt to launch the administrator console, groups of the errors above get logged.
So, it appears that at the same time this new user account was added to the domain, something else changed on the domain controller at the same time? Any ideas?

Microsoft just released Rollup 2 for SCVMM 2012 R2
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2932926
Do I need to install Rollup 1 before 2?
New to Hyper-V...
We are in the process of a initial POC for SCCM, starting with Software Update Services towards patching servers as a starting off point.
I am building a "sandbox" first using Server 2012 R2 with Hyper-V. I do not want this server on the domain, the network adapter has internet and network access. All SCCM severs, other servers will be self contained no access to the outside network/domain.
Instead of me using the iLo, RDP, walking to the server, I was going to put VMM on it, but I have found that the server has to be a member of the domain, is there any way around this?
Hi Team
We have configured SQL Always on on SQL 2012 Sp1 Enterprise Edition to keep VMM Database in HA mode
and Installed SCVMM 2012 Sp1 in HA mode on 2 VM Machines
now we have configured File Scale out server on 4 Windows 2012 Hyper-V Servers which is part of Windows 2012 Cluster and Created Share folder over it
copied Sysprep Vhd's in Share folder
Added File Scale Out Server in SCVMM as a Library Server
Now, We are Provisiiong VM Machines, Sometimes 4-5 VM Machines are provisiong in Single go, Sometimes it gets failed
with mentioned error.
Error (2910)
VMM does not have appropriate permissions to access the resource \\dlib.contoso.com\VMMDLIB\sql1_CDrive_130.vhdx on the HostA3.contoso.com server.
Access is denied (0x80070005)
Recommended Action
Ensure that Virtual Machine Manager has the appropriate rights to perform this action.

I have a strange issue with Hyper-V SCVMM 2012 SP1. "Enabled VlanID" is greyed out if I take VM properties in SCVMM 2012 SP1. But at the same time I am able to change it in Hyper-V host! strangely it doesn't happen to all VMs! Any help is appreciated as google doesn't give me any fruitful answer. appreciate your great support.
Regards,
One of my Admins decided to rename all of the VM Snapshot names directly in the Hyper-V Manager. In SCVMM, after Refreshing the Host, I still don't see the Snapshot/Checkpoint names being updated. Anyone with any ideas?
Thanks,
Jason
Hi,
We have 2 datacenters and want to built a high available VMM infrastructure.
Each datacenter has its own subnet with stretched VLAN so we are going to built a Geo-cluster with a fileshare witness on a third site.
I can't find any information about this is a supported configuration or not. Although I think this is a true business case for a lot of companies.
Has anybody implemented a HA VMM on a geo-cluster?

Hi All,
I am setting up SCVMM 2012 R2 in a production environment. Whenever I restart the SCVMM virtual machine the VMM service doesn't start automatically, I have to manually start it. I checked the VMM logs and in the event viewer i find the below error,
Service cannot be started. Microsoft.VirtualManager.DB.CarmineSqlException: Unable to connect to the VMM database. Ensure that the SQL Server is running and configured correctly. ---> System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Cannot open database "VirtualManagerDB" requested by the login. The login failed.

I added the 'VMMSVC' account as db_owner and sysadmin and also NT_Authority\System with same permissions still the service doesn't start on the start up.
I googled a lot and I find the threads with the error containing "General failure" but not with the above. Can someone please help me to find out why this error is occuring.
Thanks,
Ravi
We've run into a folder naming issue in regards to importing .ISO's into the VMM Library. When specifying a folder to import the .ISO into, VMM adds %20 to the folder names where spaces are. Not a huge deal but wonder if anyone has a way around this without using dashes or underscores.

I was playing around with System Center and testing it out in my LAB and first tried SCVMM 2012 SP1. On this version you could see on the cluster Overview page bar graphs for the Total Memory, Total CPU/Cores, etc graphs for the entire cluster.
I installed and using SCVMM 2012 R2 and this seems to be missing on the Overview page. Only the "Summary" is there and not the capacity information.
Did Microsoft take this out or is something messed up?
Hi,
I have some imported VHDs on my SCVMM 2012 R2 library share, in the VHDs folder (Same server). However, one VHD was imported but did not show so I re-imported and overwrote the resource, but it still does not show?
This is in the VHDs pane in Library.
Please advise.
Hi I use Microsoft Test Manager to deploy lab machines in an SCVMM environment. The environment only has one host, which is the same server as the VMM machine. If I try to deploy VM templates everything works fine right away. When I deploy a VM based on a stored VM (not a VM template) I always get an error on the SCVMM server "Error 2910 VMM does not have appropriate permissions to access the resource on the server.domain.com server." When I click repair afterwards in Test Manager it tries to deploy the VM again and then the operation succeeds. Any ideas what causes this error each time?
I already tried giving all server accounts and service accounts permissions on all folders from the libarry and machines. It creates all files but fails just before (or in) step 1.6 "Create network adapter." I enabled tracing while creating the VMM and noticed there is an access denied for remote management. I already reconfigured all permissions, firewall and other settings for winrm. Here is the output from the trace with the error:

Hi everyone...
I have a private 10GB network that all of my Hyper-V hosts are connected to. I have told VMM to use this network for live migrations.
Using performance monitor, I see that the migration is using this private network. Unfortunately, it will only transfer at 100MB per second.
There must be a parameter somewhere to say "Use all the bandwidth you need...."
It is worth mentioning that I also backup the virtual machines using this same network to our backup server, and the transfer rates goes to 10GB per second.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Hi All.
VMM 2012 R2 no patches or rollups
1 Network "VM_Network"
1 Logical Network created in VMM "´VM_Network"
1 Virtual Switch Created in VMM "VM_Network"
1 Port Profile "VM_Network"
I have this strange thing that happens when i reboot or shutdown an VM, maybe it is how it is supposed to be.
This is how it looks when i have created a machine, i have given it the correct Vlan tag and Switch.
This is how i looks after a reboot or shutdown(Sometimes it change quick and sometimes it takes longer time) it has removed the VLAN tagging and changed to a "Virtual Switch" dont know if this is the correct way, or a bug.
please help, and i will supply further information if needed.
