I've been using Hyper-V VMs to isolate coding agents. Today I really wanted to copy'n'paste something, so in "Options/Integration Services" I enabled guest services temporarily. After enabling it (while the VM was running) I was able to copy'n'paste between the VM and host. After disabling it (while the VM still was running) I was still able to copy'n'paste. Restarting the VM didn't matter. Turning guest services back on so I could turn it off while the VM was off didn't help either. Guest services appears to be stuck on, even though I unchecked the check box.

I'm not worried about keeping the clipboard locked down as much as whatever else guest services might support. I see there is a Copy-VMFile that could be used by the VM to access the host, that'd go against the isolation I'm trying to maintain.

Hello everyone, I'm trying to create an ubuntu vm for some work related project I'm working on. I created it last week no troubles making it. But it didn't have internet access for some reason so I tried fixing it and it got corrupted. I ended up deleting it and trying to make a new one. Well now I get this error saying I dont have the requested logon type?

I have local admin on my machine and tried troubleshooting with claude and it said to make sure I'm in the local "Hyper-V Administrators" group and I added myself, restarted my machine and tried again yet I get the same error.

How can I resolve this issue? Thanks for any help! FYI I'm on a Windows 11 workstation.

I'm moving my VMs from VMware to Hyper-V, like a lot of people right now, but ran into something I wasn't expecting, and after working with our SAN's support people, want to double check with you all. I've only used Hyper-V as stand-alone servers up until this point, so I'm fully aware that I may sound like a bonehead.

We have your bog standard three server, one SAN environment set up via iSCSI, and that SAN is split into two volumes. In vSphere all three servers could access a SAN volume, simultaneously; but my vendor is saying Hyper-V will only allow one server to access a volume at a time; showing as offline on the other two servers. This despite being set up as MPIO and Cluster Shared Drives.

The good news that it's not a killer for my environment. Our SAN is too small for us anywhere so I use local storage to supplement it anyway. I was just curious for when it's time to replace.

True? False? And if False, what do I need to look into to make it True?

Sorry if that’s a noop question, but I’m totally new to Hyper-V. I have a Hyper-V cluster with 2 Nodes, and a Domain Controller running on each host, outside of the cluster. Now I need to patch it for the very first time. First thing I did was patching each Domain controller. However, I’m not really sure what’s best practice when it comes to patching the hosts.

I migrated all the VMs to one node. Do I need to pause the host that I want to update? If yes, do I need to drain the roles?

Are there any other steps necessary?
