Hyper-V Server

UPDATED April 2024

Most applications work perfectly normally when set up in the Fresh Start machine using DaDesktop (DD). However, one or two applications, due to the cloning process, do not work as expected and require a few extra steps to enable normal operation.

Fresh Start Fix Notes

  1. Please note this is a general guide for resolving this application's behaviour when used within Fresh Start. Steps may vary depending on your specific setup configuration.

  2. Summary – Fix on Fresh Start as below. Hyper-V encounters issues with duplicate MAC addresses on the External switch when cloned from the FreshStart machine, so we either select the second pre-configured Intel network connection or remove the external switch in the FreshStart machine prior to cloning. I will explain this in detail below.

     

Fix Process

1. Below shows the Hyper-V Manager application. Right-click to bring up the Virtual Switch Manager dialogue box.

2. In the Virtual Switch Manager dialogue box shown below, choose the 'External' switch as indicated, then select the Intel Pro/1000 network connection as shown above. NB: This is only available when using newer Windows 10 templates, v71 and above. Press OK, and save the configuration if necessary. Close the Hyper-V Manager application.

3. Continue configuring the FreshStart machine as required. Once the configuration is complete, shut down the machine from within the VM, waiting until it has fully stopped. Then clone the FreshStart machine to the Trainer and Participants' machines as needed.

The Hyper-V server should now run correctly on the Trainers' and Participants' machines. Without this change, participants might see each other's machines instead of their own, as the external network card is cloned, resulting in duplicate MAC addresses on the External switch when copied from the FreshStart machine.
