ASCHI cluster different RAM amounts per node
is it a supported model for ASHCI to have 1 node in a cluster to have different amounts of RAM? i appreciate that you can specify preferred owners, and possible owners on VMs, to restrict/ allow VMs to go to specific hosts, and understand that under normal circumstances you probably wouldnt want to have hosts with different amounts of RAM to circumvent over provisioning and then getting into difficulties upon loosing hosts, but am looking at making one of my ASHCI hosts a SQL server, i dont want to remove it from the cluster due to impacting storage, but need to increase the RAM, and if i can do it to just a single host id prefer that.
Hyper-V can not be installed because virtualization support is not enabled in the BIOS
Win 2022 Datacenter as Hyper-V host Win 2022 Datacenter as Virtual Machine ... after latest Windows Updates (troublemaker KB5034439 who require resize of Recovery partition to be able to be installed successfully) ... on the VM ... is Unable to install Hyper-V Role because of the error "Hyper-V can not be installed because virtualization support is not enabled in BIOS". Very first error it was a different one and it was fixed by enabling extensions who was fixed via this commands /Hyper-V Host /Elevated PowerShell #List of VM Get-VM Get-VMProcessor -VMName <name> #Check Nested (Get-VMProcessor -VMName <name>).ExposeVirtualizationExtensions #Configure Nested Virtualization Set-VMProcessor -VMName <name> -ExposeVirtualizationExtensions $true #Disable Nested Virtualization Set-VMProcessor -VMName <name> -ExposeVirtualizationExtensions $false ... but the error "Hyper-V can not be installed because virtualization support is not enabled in the BIOS" is very tough and I not yet find any solution yet. I'm convinced that they (MS) disable Nested Support via latest Windows Update, but it is only my personal opinion. I even update firmware to the Bios of Host machine and triple check the Virtualization boxes to be enabled but since no one change it it is the same. Anyone having some idea how to Enabled Nested Virtualization on Hyper-V Host Machine ?
Hyper-V NIC Configuration Question
I am about to build a new Windows 2025 Standard Edition server with 2 Ethernet ports and Hyper-V. Should I configure the 2 NICs as a teamed NIC that is shared with Hyper-V, or dedicate one NIC to Windows Server 2025 and the other NIC to Hyper-V? Or is there another recommended configuration? Thank you.

Hi, We want to create a test environment to avoid "system wide" settings deploy to production without testing them first (e.g. Kerberos Enforcement or Entra Sync Settings) We would use Windows Trial licenses and Entra Connect to connect to a Testtenant. How must we license this test environment to be compliant with MS licensing? Some say it's Trial and not production "you do not have to". Others say we need to license "like Prod". Can anyone (preferably a Microsoft employee) help with this question? BR Stephan
DNS record auto registered even the auto registration option was unchecked
Hello guys, I have an DC which have two NICs, A for Domain service and B for camera server. I don't want the IP address of NIC B registered in our DNS, so I uncheck the auto register option in the advance setting of NIC B. However, the IP address of it still keep registering t our DNS even I have manually deleted that option. I have checked the steps in the official article and it doesn't help. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-server/networking/unwanted-nic-registered-dns-mulithomed-dc Any suggestion is much appreciated.WS2025 - LocalKDC Service Stopped
I have found that this service was disabled before the December update, for some reason it has gone to automatic and cannot be started, maybe this behavior is normal if you are not using this feature. After the January security patch the service still does not start, I think microsoft should report this problem. This problem occurs in a clean installation without any role installed or configured. If you try to start the service it shows the following errorAccessing trials and kits for Windows Server
