Assigning IP address for Hyper-V VM Windows Server 2025
I am building my first Windows Server 2025 VM on HyperV and trying to assign an IP address to the VM. I want the VM's to be like an actual server so I created an external vswitch. The original IP address for the server was 172.16.1.41 with a gateway of 172.16.1.5. When I activated the Hyper-V role, that IP was associated with the switch as described in the setup. I created my VM and successfully installed Windows Server 2025. However, when I try to assign the IP for the new VM, 172.16.1.42/255.255.255.0 and the Gateway is 172.16.1.5, I am not able to ping from the new VM. The IPCONFIG /ALL is below for both the Hyper-V and the new VM. There are 4 ethernet adapters on the physical server. The Virtual Switch created in the configuration is using Adapter 1. Should it be using Adapter 2 as shown on the Ethernet Adapter Slot4?

Two-tier AD Certificate Services error importing cert into SubCA
Hello, I'm new here, but excited about being able to hob nob with all you in furthering our IT goals. I'm setting up my root and Subordinate CA and I'm importing my rootCA issued, subCA certificate into the subCA. I get I get the same error when the subCA automatically exports its cert req to the root Ca and when I do it manually. I also get this error whether i'm using X.509 or p7b files. what's unusual about this error is that it seems to be referencing a .req file with a '(1)' added to the end of the title. Original .req did not have the '(1)'. any assistance I can get from the community would be appreciated.How are you managing Group Policy changes after AGPM end of support?
Hi, I’m interested in how organizations are handling Group Policy change management now that AGPM is no longer supported. In environments where GPOs are still heavily used, what are you relying on today for version history, change tracking, rollback and approvals? Are you continuing with AGPM, moving to products such as GPOADmin or Cayosoft, or mainly using native GPMC backups and PowerShell? I’m also interested in whether there is still a gap around having a clear web-based view of GPO history and changes, especially being able to understand exactly what changed and which users or computers may be affected before a change is applied. I’d be interested to hear how this is handled in real production environments and what parts of the process are still manual or difficult.
SNMP Query fails with Error: Error in packet. Reason: (genError) A general failure occured
I have enabled a win Server 2022 and a Win11 machine to answer SNMP requests. However both machines run into error while doing a snmpwalk. I have started with OID just before errornous OID. Both machines show same behaviour. Does someone experience same problem? Can someone recreate this problem? Does someone know a cure fort this problem? Does someone have any ideas how to proceed? root# snmpwalk -Os -v 1 -c public <hostname> .1.3.6.1.4.1.77 comVersionMaj.0 = STRING: "10" comVersionMin.0 = STRING: "0" comType.0 = Hex-STRING: 03 00 00 00 Error in packet.

Contexte Windows Server 2022 [Standard/Datacenter — à préciser], rôle Hyper-V installé. J'ai créé une VM invitée Linux nommée « Wazuh » (installation d'une plateforme SIEM), elle démarre correctement. ce serveur est une VM imbriquée dans un autre hyperviseur type VMware Workstation. je suis en simple groupe de travail (workgroup). Ce que je constate PS C:\Users\Administrator> Start-VM -Name 'Wazuh' PS C:\Users\Administrator> vmconnect localhost Wazuh vmconnect : The term 'vmconnect' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again. At line:1 char:1 + vmconnect localhost Wazuh + ~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (vmconnect:String) [], CommandNotFoundException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException PS C:\Users\Administrator> Get-VM -Name 'Wazuh' | Select-Object State, Status State Status ----- ------ Running Operating normally PS C:\Users\Administrator> vmconnect localhost Wazuh vmconnect : The term 'vmconnect' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program... La VM est bien « Running / Operating normally » selon Get-VM, donc le souci n'est pas la VM elle-même mais l'accès à sa console. Ce que j'ai déjà essayé Get-WindowsFeature *Hyper-V* → [colle ici la sortie exacte que tu as obtenue] Install-WindowsFeature -Name RSAT-Hyper-V-Tools -IncludeAllSubFeature → toujours pas de vmconnect.exe fonctionnel après coup Je soupçonne que ce serveur est installé en mode Server Core (pas d'interface graphique locale), et j'ai lu que la conversion Core → Desktop Experience n'est plus possible après coup depuis Server 2016. Ma question pour la communauté Est-il vraiment impossible d'obtenir une console graphique locale (vmconnect / Hyper-V Manager) sur un Server Core, même une fois les outils de gestion Hyper-V installés ? Quelle est la méthode la plus fiable pour accéder à la console d'une VM Hyper-V hébergée sur un Server Core, en environnement non-domaine (workgroup) : Windows Admin Center, Hyper-V Manager distant (config WinRM/TrustedHosts), ou faut-il simplement réinstaller en Desktop Experience ? Si quelqu'un a déjà mis en place Windows Admin Center ou du Hyper-V Manager distant sur un lab en groupe de travail (sans AD), un retour d'expérience serait très utile. Merci d'avance !Issue with Temporary Profile on Windows Server 2025 after renaming built-in Administrator account
Hi everyone, I am facing an issue with a temporary profile on Windows Server. Environment details: ・OS: Windows Server 2025 Datacenter ・Setup: On-premises environment with 2 servers (AD DS Domain Controller and Web Server) ・Affected Server: Web Server (Domain joined) Recently, I renamed the built-in Administrator account on the Web Server. After that, the system became completely unresponsive, so I had to force a power off. Upon signing in after the reboot, I received the error message: "We can't sign in to your account" (or "You've been signed in with a temporary profile"). It seems the profile folder or registry mapping for the renamed Administrator account was corrupted due to the force shutdown. I tried restarting the server, but the issue persists. Could anyone please advise on the proper way to resolve this registry/profile conflict and safely restore the renamed Administrator profile? Please note that I am a native Japanese speaker and a beginner in IT, so I may not fully understand complex technical English. Simple, step-by-step instructions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance for your help! Translated by Gemini, grammar checked by DeepL
