our physical box is a DellT330 with a Dell RD1000 removeable drive. I cannot get the Rd100 to work. Windows Admin Center can see it under devices and under storage->Disks . Hyper-V manager does not see it anywhere. I got the install package for Dell Rd1000 utilities to run but the program itself will not run.

I want to learn virtualization and have spent a lot of time getting this far but I really need to get this up and running. I am about ready to install Windows Server 2016 w/GUI.

Has anyone here been successful in getting Hyper-V or a virtual server on Hyper-V to use this device? I would appreciate any help. I may be a little intermittent about checking back but I know I will be able to a couple of times a day. thanks.

I apologize for not making myself clear. Altaro VM Backup – Free Edition vs. Veeam Backup Free Edition- "The must-have tool for VMware VShpere and Microsoft Hyper-V" is what I should have said. I have Altaro installed now when time permits reinstall Hyper-V with a larger volume. At that point I will probably install the Veeam product.

Thanks to everyone who helped me. I believe my problem is solved now. Here is a little re-cap and some random ideas.
I jumped to conclusions late in the day when confronted with a problem. I now believe that the problem with the two PCs was that the Chrome.adm template was not applied or misconfigured or something. Since I copied the contents of Windows/System32/grouppolicy and Windows/System32/grouppolicyusers from another machine I will never know for sure. The other 18 public computers have no Chrome browser problems that I can find.
I still think its possible that enterprise policies might override local group policy or registry settings but I don’t think that is what happened here. Probably like active directory in the sense that unless it is configured at the higher level it probably doesn’t affect the local level.
The contributors here have given me several new ideas to try. I am continuously trying to improve my public computer configuration.
I learned a lot from this thread and am truly thankful for all the help. This is an awesome forum!

@dustinb3403 Yes, Microsoft Hyper-v Server 2016, not Windows server

@lj I have reinstalled the Host with a bigger partition, added it to the domain, got all the Hyper-V manager, remote disk management and Windows Admin Center connected, restored the 2 test VMs with Altaro and everything is working. I used Disk2VHD to virtual a Win7 machine then briefly got it running on the Host.
Keeping in mind that I am still learning, what should be my next step? Perhaps another install of Hyper-V on a desktop and moving VMs back and forth?

If you have Windows server 2016 and also purchased 6 user CALS does this mean (a) only six accounts can be listed under Active Directory Users and Computers-> Users (b) you can have more than 6 users listed as long as there are only 6 different human beings accessing the server (c) something different from either of these. Thanks

Thanks. That's what I thought but you never are sure when reading Microsoft terms. As Eric Siron who writes @ Altaro Hyper- V blog says "Concise and Microsoft Licensing will never intersect".

Public library computers have Windows local group policy restrictions including Chrome Policy Templates. When students login to school accounts their enterprise policies apparently override our local policies and allow apps we don't want. A further complication is they don't log out and the next public user who wants to log in sees the previous user and is confused requiring intervention by library staff. We need a way to prevent this or at least a log on script to sign them out or delete something in the registry or whatever will work. Thanks on behalf of public libraries everywhere.

@Dashrender I just booted up another public computer and found that setting. I will try to get to a public PC and set that and see find a student to try it.

@LJ Oops. left out something. thanks coliver.

@DustinB3403 Thanks. I have never used chocolatey but I guess I need to learn.

@notverypunny I would love Firefox because many patrons ask for it but in the past I was unable to get it to update automatically. Has that changed or do you know a work around?

I just tried setting the setting "restrict which users are allow to sign in to Google Chrome" to enabled and used*.@nologin as the allowed user.
I was still able to login from the restricted user. For this setting should you leave it blank for users or what? thanks.

@Dashrender I am wrong . The setting isn't in place. the setting to clear contents etc on exit is in place and that must be what logged him out when he closed Chrome.
I'll go install that setting on some right now.

@Dashrender I don't know darn it. I went back out there and he was getting in a car. Maybe some more students will come in. I wish I had had him try to install extensions while he was logged in.
I create an MMC for computer policy and non admin users then log in and out to create these folders

After that I paste into the contents of the GP and GP users folders from an already configured computer. I may have just missed a couple when I was updating my policies. I hope that is all it is.

@LJ That setting was in place already. I had a student who was using Google classroom on IE open Chrome, and login to his school email and Google Classroom. Then I had him close the browser without logging out. When he re-opened Chrome he was not logged in on either.
I either have a couple of computers not configured correctly or it may be that once logged in he could have had it remember his account and password and install extensions etc. He was heavily involved in school work but I told him to find me when he was though if his ride wasn't here. More info later.

@Dashrender I just booted up another public computer and found that setting. I will try to get to a public PC and set that and see find a student to try it.

@Dashrender Do you think this prevents them from signing into Chrome while still allowing them to sign in to the Gsuite and email?
