Any help please. This thread is locked. You can follow the question or vote as helpful, but you cannot reply to this thread. Note This download is not self-installing. Please see Managing Hyper-V Integration Services for guidance on how to manage and install integrated components.

To start the download, click the Download button. For more information about how to download Microsoft support files, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:. Microsoft used the most current virus-detection software that was available on the date that the file was posted. The file is stored on security-enhanced servers that help prevent any unauthorized changes to the file. To apply this update, you must have April update rollup for Windows RT 8.

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the \”Applies to\” section. See the terminology that Microsoft uses to describe software updates.

On a computer running Windows 8 or later, you can also type Get-Disk at a Windows PowerShell prompt to discover the partition style. The default output of this cmdlet displays the partition style for all attached disks.

Both commands are displayed below. In this example, the client computer is running Windows 8. Links to procedures to create the corresponding VMs are included. To do this, you must temporarily mount the EFI system partition which is accomplished using the mountvol command.

In this case, see Prepare a generation 2 VM. If you use the Disk2VHD tool described in this guide, it is not necessary to mount the MBR system partition, but it is still necessary to capture it.

In this case, see Prepare a generation 1 VM. Download the Disk2vhd utility , extract the. You might experience timeouts if you attempt to run Disk2vhd from a network share, or specify a network share for the destination.

To avoid timeouts, use local, portable media such as a USB drive. On the computer you wish to convert, double-click the disk2vhd utility to start the graphical user interface. See the following example. You must include the system volume in order to create a bootable VHD. If this volume isn\’t displayed in the disk2vhd tool, then the computer is likely to be using the GPT partition style. For more information, see Choosing a VM generation.

Disk2vhd can save VHDs to local hard drives, even if they\’re the same as the volumes being converted. Performance is better, however, when the VHD is saved on a disk different than the disks being converted, such as a flash drive.

There should now be four files in this directory:. On the computer you wish to convert, open an elevated command prompt and type the following command:. This command temporarily assigns a drive letter of S to the system volume and mounts it. Volume shadow copy won\’t work if the EFI system partition is selected. The Windows RE tools partition shown below is not required, but it can also be converted if desired. Performance is better however when the VHD is saved on a disk different than those disks being converted, such as a flash drive.

In its current state, the w7. VHD file isn\’t bootable. Before proceeding, verify that you can take advantage of enhanced session mode when completing instructions in this guide.

After copying some text, you can paste into a Windows PowerShell window by simply right-clicking. Before right-clicking, do not left click other locations as this can empty the clipboard. You can also copy and paste files directly from one computer to another by right-clicking and selecting copy on one computer, then right-clicking and selecting paste on another computer.

To ensure that enhanced session mode is enabled on the Hyper-V host, type the following command at an elevated Windows PowerShell prompt on the Hyper-V host:. If enhanced session mode wasn\’t previously enabled, close any existing virtual machine connections and reopen them to enable access to enhanced session mode.

As mentioned previously: instructions to \”type\” commands provided in this guide can be typed, but the preferred method is to copy and paste these commands.

Most of the commands to this point in the guide have been brief, but many commands in sections below are longer and more complex. To add available space for the partition, type the following commands at an elevated Windows PowerShell prompt on the Hyper-V host:. Open an elevated Windows PowerShell window and type the following command to create two virtual switches named \”poc-internal\” and \”poc-external\”:. If the Hyper-V host already has an external virtual switch bound to a physical NIC, don\’t attempt to add a second external virtual switch.

Attempting to add a second external switch will result in an error indicating that the NIC is already bound to the Microsoft Virtual Switch protocol. In this case, choose one of the following options:. A : Remove the existing external virtual switch, then add the poc-external switch. C : Replace each instance of \”poc-external\” used in this guide with the name of your existing external virtual switch.

Since an external virtual switch is associated to a physical network adapter on the Hyper-V host, this adapter must be specified when adding the virtual switch. Status -eq \”Up\” -and! If your Hyper-V host is dual-homed with multiple active ethernet adapters, this automation won\’t work, and the second command above will fail. In this case, you must edit the command used to add the \”poc-external\” virtual switch by inserting the appropriate NetAdapterName.

The NetAdapterName value corresponds to the name of the network interface you wish to use. At the elevated Windows PowerShell prompt, type the following command to determine the megabytes of RAM that are currently available on the Hyper-V host:.

If the computer has less RAM available, try closing applications to free up more memory. Other VMs will be added later. The RAM values assigned to VMs in this step are not permanent, and can be easily increased or decreased later if needed to address performance issues.

Using the same elevated Windows PowerShell prompt that was used in the previous step, type one of the following sets of commands, depending on the type of VM that was prepared in the Choosing a VM generation section, either generation 1, generation 2, or generation 1 with GPT. Don\’t forget to include a pipe at the end of the first five commands:.

Type the following commands at an elevated Windows PowerShell prompt on the Hyper-V host to remove the temporary disks and drives from PC Select Next to accept the default settings, read the license terms and select I accept , provide a strong administrator password, and select Finish.

Right-click Start , point to Shut down or sign out , and select Sign out. The VM connection will reset and a new connection dialog box will appear enabling you to choose a custom display configuration. Select a desktop size, select Connect and sign in again with the local Administrator account. Signing in this way ensures that enhanced session mode is enabled. It\’s only necessary to do this action the first time you sign in to a new VM. If DC1 is configured as described in this guide, it will currently be assigned an APIPA address, have a randomly generated hostname, and a single network adapter named \”Ethernet.

A list of available tasks for an app will be populated the first time you run it on the taskbar. Because these tasks aren\’t available until the App has been run, you will not see the Run as Administrator task until you have left-clicked Windows PowerShell for the first time. In this newly created VM, you will need to left-click Windows PowerShell one time, and then you can right-click and choose Run as Administrator to open an elevated Windows PowerShell prompt.

Before promoting DC1 to a Domain Controller, you must reboot so that the name change in step 3 above takes effect. To restart the computer, type the following command at an elevated Windows PowerShell prompt:. Now you can promote the server to be a domain controller. The directory services restore mode password must be entered as a secure string.

Type the following commands at the elevated Windows PowerShell prompt:. To configure this option, select a. Install an operating system from a network-based installation server — This option is not available unless you have connected the virtual machine to a network switch. In this configuration, the virtual machine attempts to boot from the network. Review the virtual machine details and click Finish to complete the virtual machine creation. In order to finish building your virtual machine, you need to start the virtual machine and walk through the operating system installation.

In VMConnect, click on the green Start button. This is like pressing the power button on a physical computer. Go ahead and do so. Note: You may need to click inside the VMConnect window to ensure that your keystrokes are sent to the virtual machine. The virtual machine boots into setup and you can walk through the installation like you would on a physical computer.

Note: Unless you\’re running a volume-licensed version of Windows, you need a separate license for Windows running inside a virtual machine. The virtual machine\’s operating system is independent of the host operating system.
