Unable to connect to the VMM management server

Question

After a crash in our Hyper-V environment, our SCVMM 2019 console is not working. I have checked that the System Center Virtual Machine Manager Agent Service is running and restarted the SCVMM and SQL Server, and checked that the SQL Server hosting the SCVMM is accessible.

However, I am still unable to connect to the VMM management server. How can I resolve this issue?

Hi,

I understand you're facing issues connecting to the VMM management server after a crash in your Hyper-V environment. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:

Check VMM Service Health: Ensure that the System Center Virtual Machine Manager service is running properly on the server. If it's running, try restarting the service and attempt to connect again.

Review Event Logs: Look into the event logs on the VMM server for any specific error messages that could indicate the cause of the connection issue.

Verify Network Connectivity: Make sure there is network connectivity between your console and the VMM management server. This includes checking for any network hardware issues or firewall settings that might be blocking the connection.

1. Use PowerShell: Try to connect to the VMM server using PowerShell with the command Get-SCVMMServer -ComputerName <server_name>. This can sometimes provide more detailed error messages.
