After a session with Yaroslav, we finally found the problem. And in the meantime, he also shared some tips regarding ... everything! The problem was that $storagename should be left empty. The default template has a pre-defined name, which i didn't bother to change and that was our problem. So the f...

Greetings, Please log a new call with StarWind support. Use this forum thread as a reference. Hello again, Just for my sake, i create two new Hyper-V 2016 Servers with identical setup and i get exactly the same error. I thought it was a platform issue, maybe any difference on how things run.

I prefer to read all guides till the end since i am the person who believes to RTFM :) :) Free license is...

Wow, that was a quick reply, thanks! Can I create everything with a 30-day trial, and upon completion reverse to free mode? Or it is not the way to go? :D Of course i also want to learn the hard way, which means without GUI, but the moment i stuck i suddenly lost all hope. The guide is not small, be...
