Hyper-v, T20, Windows Server 2016 Standard not installing
Hi all,
Loving my T20, but hit a wall. Recently installed Windows Server 2016 and looking to setup Hyper-V to enable Docker support of Linux apps.
Server: T20, Xeon CPU-E3-1225 v3 @ 3.20GHz
Memory: 24GB
Some actions completed before trying Hyper-V install: Havbe set up active-directoy/domain. I've updated all my drivers + the BIOS. BIOS has virtualisation enabled.
I try to install hyper-V through the server manager. Installs OK, but then fails on the first reboot, with the error "we couldn't complete the features" during the windows boot and then mentions "Hyper-V" service superficially, stops the service and then removes the service. Can boot back into the server after 2 restarts, but hyper-V not available.
"CoreInfo -v" produces:
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1225 v3 @ 3.20GHz
Intel64 Family 6 Model 60 Stepping 3, GenuineIntel
Microcode signature: 00000025
HYPERVISOR - Hypervisor is present
VMX * Supports Intel hardware-assisted virtualization
EPT * Supports Intel extended page tables (SLAT)
SysInfo:
Hyper-V - VM Monitor Mode Extensions Yes
Hyper-V - Second Level Address Translation Extensions Yes
Hyper-V - Virtualization Enabled in Firmware Yes
Hyper-V - Data Execution Protection Yes
Only one Network adapter (hardware card) listed in Device manager - updated driver.
So very stuck + out of idea through internet searches. Hope someone can help, because getting hyper-v up and running would make a superb server an amazing one!

Hello
I suggest reviewing the requirements for the Hyper-V role. There may be a role conflict with what is currently installed and what is required.
Thanks

Thanks Daniel,. but I was worried this would happen. The folk over at Microsoft technet are saying ask you guys as it's likely hardware. You're suggesting it's an OS issue?

Thanks Dell. Maybe you're not a faceless, heartless, insanely wealth gathering global succubus after all.
