Have you looked in the crimson logs? From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Andrew S. Baker Sent: Wednesday, November 19, 2014 11:54 AM To: ntsysadm Subject: [NTSysADM] Cannot Start the Hyper-V Management Service
Windows Server 2012-R2, DataCenter Edition Two boxes. One has been rebooted, the other not yet. Fully patched as of 11/13 (the unrebooted one) and 11/19 (the other one). The first box was rebooted and none of the VMs booted up. Manually starting the service results in: >net start vmms The Hyper-V Virtual Machine Management service is starting. The Hyper-V Virtual Machine Management service could not be started. A system error has occurred. System error 14 has occurred. Not enough storage is available to complete this operation. Uninstalled all patches for November. No dice. Removed and Reinstalled the Hyper-V role. No dice. Performed an in-place re-install of the OS. No dice. Re-applied all patches through last night. No dice. Multiple removals and reinstallations of the Hyper-V role. No dice. Due to this, I did not reboot the other box, but this morning I tried restarting the VMMS service, and it generates the same error. So the VMs are running there, but if I reboot them or reboot the host, I'll have two boxes in the same state. Spent several hours looking at Process Monitor and Dependency Walker looking for DLL/EXE mismatches, but cannot see anything that is useful. One other piece of software was upgraded around the same time (11/12), but disabling and uninstalling it hasn't changed anything. Google has provided similar (and near similar) messages pertaining to Hyper-V on 2008, but nothing on 2012 or 2012-R2. I'm close to reinstalling the OS entirely and seeing if that helps, but I don't know what is going to cause it to break again... So, has anyone seen or heard of this problem? Regards, Reinstalled the OS over the existing install. not start the ASB http://XeeMe.com/AndrewBaker<http://xeeme.com/AndrewBaker> Providing Virtual CIO Services (IT Operations & Information Security) for the SMB market...
