A few days ago a user report to me that he cannot mounts ISO image to virtual machines on SCVMM 2012 R2. The error message is the following: Error (2912) An internal error has occurred trying to contact the dcahyv01.amat.com server: NO_PARAM: NO_PARAM. WinRM: URL: [http://hyper01.contoso.com:5985], Verb: [INVOKE], Method: [GetError], Resource: [http://schemas.microsoft.com/wbem/wsman/1/wmi/root/microsoft/bits/BitsClientJob?JobId={89EC51A2-633C-4E06-8B09-3A84146830B5}] The reason is the communication between SCVMM and Hyper-V servers are blocked due to certification on SCVMM application is expired. The default expiry date of SCVMM certification is 1/1/2019. The issue got fixed after renewing certificates in System Center 2012 R2 Virtual Machine Manager .

It's not easy for me to describe the issue in one line on the title. Let me give some background here. I have 2 set of VMs. Set 1 has VM A & VM B. Set 2 has VM C & VM D. Each VM has a vNIC configured with a private IP address. VM A and VM C also have another vNIC configured with an L3 (Routable) IP address. Each set's private IP addresses are the same. To make sure no confusion I implemented a vRouter VM for each set. The vRouter is same as VM A or VM C, it has two vNICs. One is connected to L3 network, another is connected to the private network. This way can keep the private network traffic not going outside of the set. So the both set no disturb each other when I set same private IP addresses. Diagram Following are IP addresses I set for each VM: VM A: 192.168.0.11 VM B: 192.168.0.12 VM C: 192.168.0.11 VM D: 192.168.0.12 The problem is I still can get ping responding on VM A to 192.168.0.12 when I turn off VM B. I expected to see the L2 traffic goes to it own vRoute
