hyper-v could not be realized due to errors in its configuration file (import/export)

Question

Hi,

I have installed windows server 2022 datacenter with hyper v, I created a virtual machine with windows server 2012 R2 std, I exported the virtual machine to both a local hard disk and a usb disk but when trying to import it again it gives me the following error:

Hyper-V encountered an error during the 35150560734-157F-4 import operation.

'Windows 2012R2' could not be realized due to validation errors.

'Windows 2012R2' could not be realized due to errors in its configuration file which could not be resolved.

(Virtual machine ID

2C73CAFS-191B-489F-924B-120356BBD299)

Answer 1

Hi,

It seems the configuration file of the virtual machine is corrupted. Please create a new virtual machine using the existing virtual hard disk and see if it can start up normally.

Best Regards,

Ian Xue
