SCVMM 2025 can't deploy Service Templates to Win2025 guest VMs.
I recently upgraded my SCVMM 2022 instance to 2025. I have a few Service Templates for lab/test purposes that expedite deployments such as installing the first DC in a new AD forest. I wanted to upgrade these Service Templates to work with Win2025 guest VMs so I built a new syspreped Windows Server 2025 image, and copied my "New Forest DC" Service Template so it could utilize a Win2025 guest. After a lot of troubleshooting, I found that SCVMM 2025 seems to fail to be able to configure a Win2025 guest. I originally thought there may be an issue with my Application Confg scripts that install the ADDS role and install the first DC. However, after removing those scripts and just trying to install Rolls and Features under the OS Configuration options, they appear to fail as well. Has anyone had any success deploying a Service Template with Win2025 guests VMs? Simple test to try to reproduce: Create a syspreped image .VHDK file with Windows Server 2025 (I've tested with both Gen2 and Gen1) Create a Service Template to deploy one guest VM Machine Tier. Add a few Windows Roles and Features (I'm adding ADDS, DNS, GPMC and the management tools) Example screenshot below. Deploy the service. For me, the VM deploys properly but the Service Template eventually fails and no roles are installed as it hangs on the deploy applications task. (2nd screenshot below). This works just fine with a Windows Server 2022 image. Can anyone else reproduce this? Did I miss something that is needed in the guest image? Thanks in advance.
RDMA issue with Azure Stack HCI 22H2, SCVMM22UR1
We have a new ASHCI 22H2 cluster that was working absolutely fine with RDMA until we brought it into our SCVMM22 environment. At that point the RDMA ceased to work and now the SMB vNics show RDMA Capable as False. I found Jan's blog post about VMM 2022 (https://jtpedersen.com/2022/09/rdma-issues-with-smb-vnic-after-deploying-new-host-with-vmm-2022-maxqueuepaircount-0/) I am having the exact same problem, but unfortunately when I clear the RDMA flag on the Port Profile I still can't manually enable RDMA. Anyone else seen this or have a work around? I am hoping someone on the team has something, I hope not to have to wait until UR2 to get this to work. Thank you!SCCM applies DoNotConnectToWindowsUpdateInternetLocations registry during OS install task sequence
Hi, We are facing problem where SCCM 2203 applies DoNotConnectToWindowsUpdateInternetLocations registry key for windows update policies. I went trough all GPO and there is not any policy which apply this setting, but each new laptop or VM installed through SCCM contains this registry key. I did a test and I build as simple Task Sequence for installing Windows 11 as possible without domain without SCCM Client App. Windows 11 is clear image without any customization, just added install.wim into SCCM. Unatended.xml also does not contains this. So this settings must come up from SCCM itselfs. I went through Default Client Settings and also didn't find any item which could be related. Only what I think could be related is "Enable software updates on clients" which I have "No" because I do not want to manage windows updated with SCCM but standalone WSUS. Any idea why fresh SCCM deployed windows, which is workgroup without domain, contains DoNotConnectToWindowsUpdateInternetLocations registry key? (GP cannot be applied) Edit: When I delete this key manually, it is never added again, so it's really just SCCM install task sequence or something which must add it. Simple TS I used for testing if registry key will be applied. Thanks
Microsoft Azure Management Pack 1.8.0.5 Crashes
Hi! We have been using the Microsoft Azure MP for quite a while now with little to no problems, but the latest version available (1.8.0.5) do now allow us to edit an existing monitoring template. As soon as the subscription tab have loaded the data from Microsoft Azure the dialogue crashes and the entire console with it. Running it with cleared cache does nothing to fix it, same goes for running the console as admin. I have tried on server OS and client OS and on multiple servers and management groups. This environment is using Swedish locale and keyboard with English language, which is basically standard setup in Sweden. Not sure if this has anything to do with it, but might be useful to know. Now... I have seen other discussions where a version 1.8.0.7 of this management pack is https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/127172/new-azure-management-pack.html back in May 2021, but I cannot find it for download anywhere. This puts us in quite the pickle, because the amount of azure monitoring we are doing now makes a downgrade of the Microsoft Azure MP a no-go and our customers want to be able to update their monitoring setup to add new resources. 1.8.0.5 should be pulled to begin with. And the fixed version should be published ASAP.
