    Hyper V issue
    « on: July 14, 2010, 12:29:03 PM »
    I am getting this error when trying to start Hyper-V-VMMS.

    "Cannot create a self-signed certificate. Error: 'Unspecified error' (0x80004005)."

    From the research I have done the usual solutions are failing or not working correctly. If any one has experience with hyper v or has has this issue please let me know some tricks I can try.

      Can we have a bit more info like what is your base operating system.
      Is it Hyper V 2008 Server or a full Windows 2008 install.
      Is it 2008 R2.

        it is a 2008 server running hyper-v. The vm was working until a few weeks ago. Have tried removing and re setting up the service on the system with no avail.

          Have you read this over?

          unfortunately yes I have. That was one of the first things I tried. beyond that I have removed that service and reconfigured it with no avail.

          The issue is that the VMMS is failing to start because of a certificate error. the above link is used only if you can not connect to the virtual system. For the virtual system to be running the vmms needs to be active.

            So you're on the latest Service Pack for Server 2008 (SP2) and have downloaded latest updates for the OS and Hyper-V? 

            Check the Event Viewer for the first occurrence of this problem.  Also see if an update was installed before then.  If so, try removing it and rebooting. 

            Also check this:
            http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd582526%28WS.10%29.aspx

            ...meaning make sure the VMMS Service is being started as a user with rights to the certificate stores and anything else necessary.  Start -> Administrative Tools -> Services -> right-click the service, left-click Properties -> Log On tab.

            Part of the problem is most people don't generally deal with computer problems. So for most they think that close enough is good enough.

              the answer to both of your first questions is that yes I have checked and those ore correct and no updates were installed when this started happening.

              as for the quoted message from you above Yes I have the local System set as the log on. If I change it to my account I get "the user does not have the required permissions" errors.
