Service account for Lab Management is not configured
To correct this condition, configure the service account for Lab Management. For more information, see the following page on the Microsoft Web site: Configuring Lab Management for the First Time.
Cannot access VMM
To resolve this warning, you should determine whether the server that is running Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) has been changed or if it has been rejoined to the domain after it was installed. These conditions could occur under the following circumstances:
There is a problem with the network, or the domain controller is not online.
The server lost trust with the domain and was re-added.
A domain controller was installed on the server after VMM was installed.
In either event, the tool cannot connect to the server that is running VMM.
To resolve a problem accessing VMM
Log on to the server that is running VMM, and invoke an operation that uses a domain account.
If Error 813 appears, the problem is related to the network or the domain controller. Verify that these resources are online and operational.
If Error 813 does not appear, you must uninstall and then reinstall VMM. You will lose all VMM data as part of this process.
MAC address range is not configured in Virtual Machine Manager
If this message appears, the tool has detected that the Media Access Control (MAC) address range on the server that is running VMM is set to the default value. Lab Management uses Hyper-V to assign MAC addresses for non-network isolated environments, but network isolated environments are assigned the MAC addresses from VMM. When multiple servers are running VMM on the same network and network isolation is used for lab environments, the same MAC address may be assigned to more than one virtual machine. Therefore, when you connect to a virtual machine by using Lab Environment Viewer, you might connect to another virtual machine.
To correct this issue, open the VMM Administrator Console, connect to the server that is running VMM, and change the MAC address range.
To set the range of static MAC addresses for virtual machines
Open the VMM Administrator Console.
In Administration view, in the navigation pane, click Networking.
In the results pane, click Global Static MAC Address Range.
In the Actions pane, under Settings, click Modify.
In Start range at and End range at, type different values.
Click OK.
For more information, see the following page on the Microsoft Web site: How to Set the Static MAC Address Range for Virtual Network Devices.
Error Messages

An incompatible version of System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) is detected
To correct this condition, install SCVMM 2008 R2 on the named server.
Invalid DNS suffix is configured for Lab Management
To correct this condition, register each virtual machine in a network isolated environment with a unique external name and the specified Domain Name System (DNS) suffix. For more information, see the following page on the Microsoft Web site: TFSConfig Lab /DNS Commands.
