Hi,
I have 3 host servers that i'm trying to use vnics in the host attached to scvmm managed virtual switches. This is working fine for some of them, but I ran into a problem where I added a new management vnic to a host, configured the ip info for that vnic manually via the host & then VMM lost contact with that host. The network connectivity is fine & the vnic registered its IP correctly in DNS; I can winrm & rdp onto the vnic.
The problem is that every time I tried to refresh the host status in VMM, the console crashed. when I looked further, the vmm service itself is crashing.
I removed the host from vmm, which made the vmm service more stable, but when I tried to re-add the host, vmm crashed. It now crashes every 2 minutes. the only thing I can do is remove the host, but I need to manage the host via vmm, so this is not a solution!

I'm running SCVMM 2012 SP1 with rollup update 3 & can't find any other updates or hotfixes to apply. Any ideas?
