    Hi,

     

    Could you enabled verbose MSI logging on the host and retry Add Host from VMM admin console?

     

    Here is how you turn on verbose logging on your host (run from command prompt):

    • reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer" /v Debug /t REG_DWORD /d 7 /f 
    • reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer" /v Logging /t REG_SZ /d voicewarmupx! /f

    Retry "AddHost" wizard from VMM server. If it fails again, zip up the msi log files from %temp%\vmmAgent.msi.xxxx and email that to me.

     

    Here are the commands to turn back the normal MSI logging (on your host):

    • reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer" /v Debug /f
    • reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer" /v Logging /f

     

     

    Thanks!

    Enabled logging and attempted to add the host again with no success.  I've emailed you the zipped log files.

     

    Thanks

    Thanks Rawley! Studied the MSI install log and found parsing errors on NPIV.mof file during agent install.

     

    Two possible causes:

    1) Corrupted mof file (could be glitches in the beta bits downloaded, could also caused by the network glitch during the SMB copy between the VMM server and the host).

    2) Corrupted WMI store

     

    Suggested to run "winmgmt  /salvagerepository" to verify WMI store state.

     

    Also, try local agent install to see if this works, and if local agent installation works then add host again. (However, I suspect the local agent install may not work if the WMI store is not in a healthy state.)

     

    Let us know what you find out.

     

    Thanks,

    Cheng

    The WMI repository was reported as consistent.   Local agent installation failed with the same errors.

    Rawley,

     

    Are you still experiencing this issue? If so, could you please re-download the bits (or use the media) and retry local agent install? If you were able to install the agent and add the host, I'll go ahead and close out this question.

     

     

    Thanks,

    Cheng

    I am still having this issue, I would be happy to re-download if you think that will alleviate the issue.  However I have successfully added 3 other Hyper-V hosts with these same bits.

    Thanks Rawley!

     

    Could you also copy the NPIV.mof from the VMM server to the local host drive and run “mofcomp <path to the NPIV.mof>”?

     

    Let me know the output.

     

    Thanks,

    Cheng

    Are you still hitting the issue. Can you please provide Cheng w/ the info requested, or mark the question as answered, if you are past the issue.

    The issue still exists, I'm waiting to move a production workload off of that host so I can reboot it at will to diagnose. 

     

    I have been working with Cheng offline through email though so this post can be cleaned up and marked answered if needed.

    I got similar error today while installing vmm 2012 admin console on a 32bit win7 guest.

    can you disable uac and try it again?(reboot needed)  that solved my problem.
