I read a great post by Benjamin Armstrong [A] with a one-line Powershell command to list virtual machines in Hyper-V that have a missing or broken VHD disk.
This helped me do some weeding on some Hyper-V machines and clean up old/stale VMs.
get-vm | Get-VMHardDiskDrive | %{write-host $_.VMName.PadRight(40) ":: VHD Exists :: "-NoNewline; Test-Path $_.Path}
Just putting this here for my notes.
I tried setting up a new Windows 10 VM in Hyper V with default options, but I sometime receive the following error when going thru the installation:
Windows cannot find the Microsoft Software License Terms. Make sure the installation sources are valid and restart the installation.
I thought it was an issue with my Windows 10 ISO, but the MD5 checked out OK.
The fix:
Power off the VM.
Edit the Settings on the VM.
In the Settings window, navigate to the Memory tab. Change the Minimum Ram setting in the Dynamic Memory option from 512 MB to something like 1024 MB.
Restart the VM.
