RE: Upgrade from 2008 to 2008 r2
Are you running any file-level AV software on the host server? That's the only thing I can think of that I've seen completely kill off guests like that. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/961804. -Bonnie From: Steve Ens [mailto:stevey...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, March 25, 2010 7:26 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Upgrade from 2008 to 2008 r2 Kicked off an upgrade before I left of a Hyper V virtual machine.

No AV scanning that box. I'm getting an event id 3070 and 3040. Unnamed VM' failed to initialize.

Re: Upgrade from 2008 to 2008 r2
I haven't had much luck doing R1 to R2 upgrades in our ESX 4 environment. A lot of flaky network issues with upgraded boxes, hangs on startup, all sorts of weird behaviour. In the end I opted to build a new template fresh from R2 rather than upgrade existing R1 systems. On 26 March 2010 13:57, Steve Ens stevey...@gmail.com wrote: No AV scanning that box.

Re: Upgrade from 2008 to 2008 r2
So I have a good snapshot, is there a way to restore that? Note - the snapshot doesn't show up in the HV Manager.

No, since there a couple of snapshots...I'm merging them into the parent disk first. On Fri, Mar 26, 2010 at 12:06 PM, Andrew S.
