I recently presented in the MicroWarehouse and Microsoft Ireland road show to Irish Microsoft partners on the topic of the Cloud OS, comprised of Azure, Windows Server 2012 R2, Hyper-V, and System Center 2012 R2. You can find the slide deck below. Microsoft Azure & Hybrid Cloud from Aidan Finn [...]

KB2927313–Hyper- VM Won’t Start Because The Security ID Structure Is invalid (0x80070539)

April 28, 2014 // 1 Comment

Microsoft posted a new support article for when a virtual machine cannot start – The security ID structure is invalid (0x80070539). This affects Hyper-V on WS2012, WS2012 R2, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1. Symptoms Starting an imported virtual machine under Hyper-V sometimes fails with an error [...]

Failed to load ClusterAwareUpdating module on "<Node Name>"

April 22, 2014 // 5 Comments

I did a rebuild of the Hyper-V hosts in the lab at work last week. I pushed out a bare metal install of the new ISO for WS2012 R2 with “The Update” (April 2014). I used SCVMM 2012 R2 UR1 to push out the image to the iDRAC cards on the Dell R420 hosts. Afterwards I used SCVMM to cluster the two [...]

KB2937634 – Hyper-V Host Unable To Reconnect To WS2012 SOFS After Unplanned Failover

April 10, 2014 // 0 Comments

Microsoft has released (another) update overnight (what a week!!!) that deals with a Hyper-V scenario. This one is for when a Hyper-V host may be unable to reconnect to the Windows Server 2012 Cluster Scale-Out File Server (SOFS) share after an unplanned failover of one of the SOFS nodes. Once [...]

KB2918371 – Scheduled Backup Of Hyper-V Fails With Event ID 517 & Error 0x80780049

April 10, 2014 // 0 Comments

This new article from Microsoft refers to “Windows Server Backup running on the host operating system”, but I cannot say if this issue affects third party backup tools, DPM or not. REPEAT: DO NOT ASK ME – ASK MICROSOFT. Very often Microsoft has a bad habit of stating that a backup fix is for [...]

KB2905249 – "0x8007007A" Error When You Live Migrate A VM On WS2012 Or WS2012 R2 Hyper-V

April 10, 2014 // 1 Comment

I’ve done LOTS of live migrations since the beta of WS2012 and through WS2012 R2, and I’ve put the hosts under significant pressure. I can’t say I’ve seen the issue that is discussed & fixed in this new article by Microsoft where a "0x8007007A" error occurs when you migrate a [...]

KB2928439 – VM Network Fails If “Minimum Bandwidth Weight” Is Enabled On WS2012 Hyper-V

April 10, 2014 // 0 Comments

Microsoft has published a new KB article for when a Hyper-V virtual machine’s network connection fails if the "minimum bandwidth weight" setting is enabled in Windows Server 2012. The scenario where this happens is very niche (negligent bad practice, one might argue). Symptoms Consider [...]

ISA 2006 – Better Than ISA 2000/2004?

September 18, 2006 // 0 Comments

ISA 2004 was a considerable improvement over ISA 2000. It was more secure, feature rich and much easier to configure. I find it funny now that I had trouble getting used to how easy it was to configure 2004 as opposed to 2000. ISAServer.org posted an article on why you should consider ISA 2006 [...]
