I haven't been keeping up with Windows Admin Center for awhile. Was that an option to manage Hyper-V?

It will be, but I'm not sure that it is yet. We've tried and not been able to get it working even internally anywhere, let alone externally. Once they figure out stability and authentication, I assume that it will be great for that. Being that this is 2016, it's going to suck hard. And if there is a Hyper-V issue, WAC would be down which is a problem in a small environment like this.

@scottalanmiller I was considering rolling them back to last night as a last-ditch scenario is all fails since it is on Veeam and I have a Full from last night.

if you are upgrading I highly recommend www.runecast.com, if you have a small environment it's not a big deal but Vmware now days has a lot more bugs that it used to and it's easy to run up on one in a bigger environment, runecast will check for compatbility with specific hardware and firmware versions and tell you which firmware, version of Vmware and patch versions you should be on to be the most stable.

Glad that you figured it out.

It seemed like someone on the VMware forums had a similar issue, yet it wasn't resolved. https://communities.vmware.com/thread/574921 I can just suggest the most common solution of "reconfigure it and see if that helps".

Thanks just that I might have some kit becoming available but they are all different Dell models, just wondered if the Hard Drive space/RAID matched that would be OK for a test lab,

e.g.
R610, 64GB RAM with 4x 600GB SAS
R410, 64GB RAM with 4x 600GB SAS

Sounds like it will work just fine for a test lab, anyways, once you get down to testing, DM me and I'll get you in touch with an engineer, who will review your environment to make sure everything will work perfectly.

See now I want to purchase more lab equipment to test this. . . .

I've tried to import the Multi-Tenant Director .ova into XS & convert the .ova into vhd & vhdx.
It will not boot in XS or Hyper-V, I get a black screen.
It boots in vmWare Workstation.

Nakivo support says the .ova is ONLY for use in vmWare (not for XS)

@WLS-ITGuy No issues. Wasn't required to fsck after a reboot.

Not sure, and I'm not going to power up the old system to find out. New one is running fine. If I ever run in to a situation like that again, there are a lot more checks I would do.
