Hyper-V Error 15500 - Failed to Start Worker Process, 0x80070001


Virtual Machine failed to start worker process: Incorrect function. (0x80070001)


Configuration

Hyper-v Server 2012 with 4 VMs. One VM running the others would not start. Error message popup when starting VM. Further in the event logs "The authorization store could not be initialized from storage location".

Cause

An earlier test restore had replaced the key entry with a now redundant location.

Solution

Edit registry key as below

 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Virtualization]

 Problem Key shows an invalid location:
"StoreLocation"="msxml://D:\\Restore Test\\Host Component\\C_\\ProgramData\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Hyper-V\\InitialStore.xml"

 Change key to correct location:
"StoreLocation"="msxml://C:\\ProgramData\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Hyper-V\\InitialStore.xml"
Then restart Virtual Machine Service from Hyper-V console

    This was hard to find, and appeared to be triggered by BackupExec when testing restoration of a server.

Server Manager Refresh completed with one or more warning

The system cannot access one or more event logs because of insufficient rights The Problem: Configuration refresh message. The system cannot access one or more event logs because of insufficient rights, file corruption, or other reasons. For more information, see the Operation channel in the ServerManager-ManagementProvider error log on the target server. Problem occurred on Server 2012 servers that have been upgraded to Server 2012R2 servers. Servers are also clustered. The Solution: Following the event logs leads to a few registry keys. You can eliminate the messages by: 1. Export the following registry keys (for safety) 2.

Hyper-V could not replicate changes for virtual machine as replication is suspended on the Replica server

Image
EVENT ID 32088 for all VMs After running out of disk space on the Replica host server, all VMs stopped replicating.  Replication cannot simply be started by right clicking on the source VM and selecting Resume Replication. No console error message just the event log event 32088.  I considered removing replication and re-replicating but this seemed an awful lot of work for simple problem. Tried stopping the Hyper-V service on the replica host and restarting, but this also did not work. THE FIX 1. Go to the destination replica server, right click each VM and select Resume Replication.  2. Now you can go to the source server, right click each VM and select Resume Replication. For some strange reason this works. Just trying one end or the other will fail without a console error message (but shows in the event log).
