Hyper-V Server

UPDATED April 2024

The majority of applications run completely normally once set up on a Fresh Start machine with DaDesktop (DD). However, a couple of applications may encounter issues caused by the cloning process, requiring some additional steps to function correctly.

Fresh Start Correction Steps

  1. Keep in mind that this is a general guide for resolving application issues in Fresh Start. The precise steps might vary based on your specific configuration.

  2. Summary - The solution for Fresh Start is described below. Hyper-V can experience duplicate MAC addresses on the External switch after being cloned from the FreshStart machine. The workaround is to select the second pre-configured Intel network connection or remove the external switch in the FreshStart machine before cloning, as I explain in detail below.

     

Repair Procedure

1. As shown below, open Hyper-V Manager and right-click to select the Virtual Switch Manager dialog box.

2. In the Virtual Switch Manager dialog (shown below), pick the 'External' switch as indicated, then choose the Intel Pro/1000 network adapter shown earlier. Note that this option is only available when using newer Windows 10 templates, version 71 and above. Click OK, save the configuration if prompted, and close Hyper-V Manager.

3. Proceed with the remaining FreshStart machine setup as needed. After configuration, shut down the machine from within the VM and wait for it to stop completely. Then clone the FreshStart machine to the Trainer and Participant machines as intended.

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