Thanks for sharing! It's all fine, but enhanced session mode connections from Windows 8.1 Pro Client Hyper-V to a Windows 10 RTM guest VM still disconnects after a few when using a local user account in the guest VM. It's amazing that Windows 10 RTM does not support this scenario.Anonymous

There is something wrong with Windows 10 when dealing this virtual network cards. Network does not work when Cisco VPN Client is installed before upgrading to Windows 10 and I can't add a Virtual Switch from Hyper-V Manager. When I try to uninstall Hyper-V, Windows says that it couldn't remove it and then rollback the changes.Anonymous

Hi Ben! Is it true that Powershell Direct uses Emergency Management Service to get into the VM? serverfault.com/.../windows-serial-console If not, how is it done? Magic? Thanks for your answer!Anonymous

RDP - Let me check into that - I do not have any 8.1 hosts handy right now. MikeH - It does not use EMS. It is magic - but that is a blog post for another day. Cheers, BenAnonymous

As per the following thread, it's not just Windows 8.1 Pro (running Windows 10 as guest VM) being affected. Further tests show that the connection gets disconnected roughly every 2 minutes. answers.microsoft.com/.../adb7ba2b-9662-46d3-8397-bda905aa69f0Anonymous

After upgrading from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10, I found out that Hyper-V will be enabled on the upgrade if VirtualBox or VMWare are installed. 64-Bit VMs wouldn't work unless Hyper-V was disabled. Lucky I only used the other two VM solutions for testing. The only issue I have with Hyper-V is network doesn't work.Anonymous

Ark - Hyper-V only works on 64-bit versions of Windows.Anonymous

Hey Ben, there's a lot of missing info on the MS website, i.e. a 64bit OS isn't a "requirement" msdn.microsoft.com/.../walkthrough_compatibilityAnonymous

Hi Ben,After my PC updated to the Anniversary Windows 10, the Hyper-V role was missing. After adding the role I found that my VM was also missing? I found the VM disk and configuration in windows.old folder programdata\windows\hyper-v. I copied the folders back in to the correct Windows folder. I imported the VM and got errors but found the the VM was back in the list. When I tried to start the VM it wanted to upgrade the VM which I did and sorted the network card which was again missing. This fixed the VM but my snapshots are missing which is not a problem to me. The big issue I have is, if I connect any of my Windows 2012 or 2012R2 servers into the Hyper-V Manager I get a RPC failure? I know that the servers are OK as I can remote on to any of them and see the other servers from there Managers. I have done the basic and made sure the firewall is configured correctly. Any help would be great.
