Hello everyone,

Im trying to deploy windows 2012 r2 vm. Ive a sysprep config with two part, servicing and settings. all settings part is succesfully configured in the so, but servicing doesnt and is supposed to enable iis webserver. When vm starts i go to c:/ windows/panther/unattend.xml is present and complete. if i run the unattend.xml with pkgmgr it enable servicing.

The question is why it doesnt work on the first attemp, while so is installing. But then it works if i do manually.

Thanks.

SCVMM2016 with update 7:

Trying to add member permissions to a Role using the following PowerShell code:

$UserRole = Get-SCUserRole -Name "Cloud01Role"

Set-SCUserRole -UserRole $UserRole -AddMember "MyAD\VMg-Cloud01" -Permission "Stop,Start”

Throws the following error (below: This error dopes not happen if only ONE permission is selected, e.g.

Set-SCUserRole -UserRole $UserRole -AddMember "MyAD\VMg-Cloud01" -Permission "Stop”

works fine. Adding multiple permissions manually also works fine.

Has anyone else experienced this issue (and have a fix)?

Hello everyone,

Im trying to deploy windows 2012 r2 vm. Ive a sysprep config with two part, servicing and settings. all settings part is succesfully configured in the so, but servicing doesnt and is supposed to enable iis webserver. When vm starts i go to c:/ windows/panther/unattend.xml is present and complete. if i run the unattend.xml with pkgmgr it enable servicing.

The question is why it doesnt work on the first attemp, while so is installing. But then it works if i do manually.

Thanks.

We use Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04 on a Hyper-V cluster managed by SCVMM 2012R2. We also use the template functionality to deploy new Ubuntu VMs quickly, see: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/system-center/vmm/vm-linux?view=sc-vmm-1807

Since Ubuntu 14.04 will be eol in a couple of months we are looking to upgrade/migrate those VMs to Ubuntu 18.04. While Ubuntu 18.04 seems to work fine in our environment, when installed manually, we cannot create new VM templates. Ubuntu 18.04 has had a few changes, mostly in the networking department. It no longer uses the /etc/network/interfaces file to configure the network but something called netplan, which has different config files and syntax.

Does anyone have any experience on how to deploy Ubuntu 18.04 VMs with any newer SCVMM version? Any workaround? If you don't do SCVMM templates with Linux VMs, what do you use instead?

We currently have a VMM 2016 server running Server 2016.  We also have a Server 2012 R2 VMM Library server and WSUS server.  I'd like to upgrade to VMM 2019.  I know VMM 2019 doesn't support Server 2012 R2 hosts, library or WSUS servers.  I'd like to get to Server 2019 for everything, but VMM 2016 doesn't support it yet for hosts, library or WSUS servers.  What's the ideal upgrade process considering I'd like to get my VMM server, Library Server and WSUS server all up to Server 2019?  I see it as one of these two options:

1. in place upgrade of library and wsus servers from server 2012 r2 to server 2016
2. Uninstall VMM 2016
   
3. in place upgrade of VMM server to Server 2019
4. install vmm 2019
5. in place upgrade of library and wsus servers from server 2016 to server 2019

This is a lot of Server OS in place upgrades, which isn't generally a path you want to take for servers.

Option #2

1. provision new Server 2016 library and wsus servers and add them to VMM 2016
2. uninstall vmm 2016
3. in place upgrade of VMM server to Server 2019 (or provision a new server 2019 with the same hostname and IP of original vmm server)
   
4. install vmm 2019
5. in place upgrade of library and wsus servers from server 2016 to server 2019 (or provision new Server 2019 library and wsus servers)

I'll probably go with option #2, but am I missing anything?  Can anyone fill in any holes or anything i'm not thinking of? 

Thanks!

When I create new storage in VMM, the creation always fails at the step:

Mounts storage disk on NODE

The error message observed is:

Error (20411)
VMM could not invoke method CreateVolume on MSFT_Disk (ObjectId = "{1}\\NODE\root/Microsoft/Windows/...) on the server NODE.DOMAIN. Failed with error HRESULT 0x80338029 The WS-Management service cannot complete the operation within the time specified in OperationTimeout.

The disk is provisioned on the SAN and the iSCSI initiators are allocated. If I connect to the specified NODE, I can see that the disk is visible, but offline.

I can manually bring the disk online and format it, after which it will show up in the cluster properties for addition as an available disk.

Any idea on how to fix this issue?

Is it possible to disable the "Specify Credentials" option in the VMM login window?

I want to have all logins use the current windows credentials.  Is there a GPO or other configuration for this?

SCVMM 2016 - I'm trying to give self-service users access to a Cloud by using an AD group.
I have set up a user role for the Cloud which has the AD group as a member.
I have given the AD group the required permissions to the VMs associated with the Cloud.
I then added an AD user account to the AD group.

When attempting to connect with the VMM client using the AD user account I get the following error:
"You cannot access VMM management server <Servername>. Contact the Virtual Machine Manager administrator to verify that your account is a member of a valid user role and then try the operation again. ID: 1604"
In VMM if I give the AD user account the same privileges as the AD group then everything works.
It appears therefore that VMM is not reading the AD group memberships and so the group members have no rights to connect.
Has anyone seen this before (and fixed it)? Are there any logs I can check which might help?

Cheers, Steve

We recently installed VMM 2019 in our environment and added VMware vCenter servers. 

We would like to know if any changes to the hosts and VMs ((add/remove) from the vcenter will be replicated on VMM as well.

Does it auto refresh or need to do manually each time we do changes on vcenter?

Hello,

I would like to allow our Tenant admins to share newly created VMs with team members. Are they even allowed to share? They can change owners, but when they click on the Add button, the list is empty and there is a message on the bottom: "No Self-Service user roles were found for sharing this object". Delegated and regular admins don't have this problem.

Thanks

Hi Everyone,

I manage our corporate network and I don't know much about VMM or the way it operates. I recently implemented a Network Access Control system and it started picking up rogue DHCP discover packets on our network. After running wireshark i was able to determine that the VMM 2016 server and all other Servers that have the agent installed are sending out these packets. If i shutdown the VMM2016 server then i no longer see any discovery packets on the network. The issue with these is that they are sent out using random"Client MAC addresses" and my NAC software picks it up as a new host. About 16 of these are sent every hour so it the meaningless hosts start to add up quickly. See the packet below:

I notice that the machines with the agent installed also have "microsoft system center virtual machine manager dhcp server" What does this do? I removed it from a test machine but it did not fix the issue. 

Why does this happen? can anyone think of a fix? 

Thanks

Hi,

Seems that SCVMM 2019 does not place Logs here anymore : C:\ProgramData\VMMLogs

Anyone who can tell me the new location?

This VMM is a 2016 which has been inplace Upgraded to 2019, FYI.

Thank you so much!

Hello

I have added Windows server 2016 Hyper V host to System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2019.

I have Logical Switch created in VMM with Uplink Mode: Team

When i try to add New Logical Switch to Windows server 2016 Hyper V host i get error:

Error (505)
Virtual Machine Manager was unable to create a new virtual switch 2D70BE71-51B8-4B53-8C94-468752C31619.

Recommended Action
Check the virtual switch name, and then try the operation again.

I dont have any other Switches configured on Hyper V host.

Can someone help me with this?\

Thank You !

Hello,

We user SCVMM 2012 R2 UR 13 in combination with Netapp 3.0 shares. To make the shares available we have a seperate server running with the Netapp SMI-s agent.

For the last few days the SMI-s storage provider is showing status 'not responding' in the console and it fails to refresh or rescan with the following error:

2901: The operation did not complete successfully because of a parameter or call sequence that is not valid.  Ensure that the parameters are valid, and then try the operation again.

On the smi-s agent server everything seems to be working alright. I can query the storage system without problems.

I have restarted both the SCVMM server and the SMI-S server, but this did not help.

I also tried to create a trace file on the SCVMM server for the storage provider which shows this error:

Has anyone ever seen this problem and/or knows how to fix this?

thanks!

Dear all,

i have SCVMM 2016 server with sql installed on the same server. Today i decided to rename the server, after that SCVMM service is stuck in starting state. In vmm logs i find the errors below. Sql service is running and the database is up and running.

I'm trying to automate the uploading of an artefact to the VMM library using Import-SCLibraryPhysicalResource as a self-service user.

The commands are being run remotely via Ansible, which uses WinRM.

The import fails due to BITS being unable to upload the file. I suspect this is an instance of BITS requiring aninteractive session in order to work.

Is there any way to do this import without VMM relying on BITS? Or is there a way to work around the interactive session requirement of BITS?

Hi there. I'm migrating our 2012R2 hypervisor environment up into VMM 2019 on 2019 and then breaking out Private Clouds for departments to use as opposed to having dedicated hypervisors.

One weird issue I'm seeing is in setting the tenant and user groups. So I created the private cloud with it's dedicated VLAN, resource quotas, etc.. all looks gravy from the admin side. Then went into the VM view and modified the VMs to be included to the farm. Everything is still great; quotas assigned and resources graphed out, etc... I configure a tenant admin group removing rights for shielded VMs and azure profiles, but otherwise left that open. I also left the user group resource limits unchecked, thinking it would just inherit from the private cloud.

I then log in as a tenant admin user to QA the site.... and there's nothing available. Going back to the tenant admun user group for this cloud, I add all the VMs into the Resources pane of the User role group and going back to the test user, I can now see the VMs. But what is still not working? Quota. Quota shows up as empty of resources with the set threshold listed. Outside of logic this then seems to prevent VM creation, snapshotting and other resource dependent functions.

Anyone know what might be going on here?
