Hi I have a strange issue I cant seem to resolve
I have 3 VMs running on a server 2016 HyperV server
One is an SBS2011 ( ready to be turned off)
One is a Server 2012 r2 , this is a DC and data server
One is an Exchange 2013 on Sever 2012 R2
I do nightly backups of both the VMs and the physical drives all the VMs are running from using windows Server backup.
I have tried to restore the 3 servers to test our disaster recovery plan ( to an identical Dell R530 server we have spare) but have hit an issue
all 3 servers restore and all power up ok
both the exchange server and the SBS work fine BUT the Sever201r2 Data server shows its NIC as connection undertimined
If I go in to Network adapters is shows connected BUT when i look at details its blank
If I go in to properties of the NIC Client for Microsoft Networks is unticked, if I tick it i get the message "are you sure you want to disable this feature" when i click ok
there are no IPV4 or IPV6 showing as installed and if I try to install IPV4 i get the error " Could not add the request feature, the error is : Cannot create a file when that file already exists"
I have checked that the old NIC is not in device manager by running devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1
if i run netsh interface ipv4 show interfaces it only shows the loopback interface
The other 2 VM's restored and run ok so I know its not the Hyperv Server itself
any ideas of what to try next
Thanks
