      This thread has a solution in case you find one or more of you NICs bound to a team or vSwitch because you did your own thing.

        Something to add here, as I just had to re-do a Hyper-V host... Pagefile.sys

        I installed Hyper-V Server 2016, and it decided to put the pagefile on the MD1000. I wanted it on the šŸ˜„ drive. It took me a while to figure out how to do it via PowerShell, but I got it. Here's the PowerShell I used to fix it:

        Set-WMIInstance -Class Win32_PageFileSetting -Arguments @{name="C:\pagefile.sys";InitialSize = 4096; MaximumSize = 12288}
        

        Run that line and reboot.
        I chose my page file size as such because the šŸ˜„ drive is small, and I don't care about page file. But MS recommends to use use as automatically managed, so there we go... a mid-way compromise.

        You can check the status by running this:

        Get-WmiObject Win32_PageFileusage

          I've successfully added Windows Server Management to my Windows 10 system and am now able to connect to my Hyper-V 2016 server. However, I am having trouble viewing server info such as hard disk space. I get this error when trying to go to disk management: 0_1513799750741_bf43bce0-3521-4cc8-80cb-75ef8234d764-image.png

          I've been googling for a while now trying to fix it. No dice.

          Also, NICE WRITE-UP!!

                  Yeah has to be done on both sides. A gotcha for sure, that as you found out is not easily Google-able.

                      Do I need to change something in my instructions to make that specifically stand out more?

                            He does say that. I just think it needs to be highlighted or something because in that block it's easy to miss.

                                Just wanted to throw in here that the updates window can lose focus, so if it's been a while ... you might need to hit a key in it.

                                @JaredBusch said this has been around forever, but this is the only time I have seen it personally, and it just got me again today!

                                    If you are an All Windows Shop, why would you want to have another technology tossed in?

                                    I'm not saying you're wrong, there are just places that prefer to stick to one vendor/tech tree.

                                      Yeah it's pretty simple if you're already using a MS AD domain and have GP set up to pretty much make it all plug-n-play, then you don't have to worry about any of this stuff.

                                          Agreed - this is a pretty shitty setup. ESXi is super damned easy compared to this convoluted BS!

                                            With my little XS adventure earlier this week, it reminded me how truly simple XS/XC/XO is.

                                            Hyper-V really does need such a thing. Such a free thing. šŸ™‚
