Setup VM W2016 does not start in Hyper-V 2016<\/p>\n

is just sitting over my new server and trying to install it a VM at the host. I wanted to install a W2016 VM (as Generation 2 over an ISO) as a guest os in Hyper-V … briefly saw the prompt to press any key to setup via the \"optical drive\" … and then I'm constantly in a black screen with \"PXE Network boot using IPv4 ( ESC to cancel). Performing DHCP Negotiation ….\" please.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It looks like the prompt to press a key is not being passed to the virtual machine. Then the VM will not boot from the mounted ISO file and attempt a PXE network boot, which of course fails. <\/p>\n

If you search the internet for this error message, you will get several hits at once. The Technet forum thread here<\/a> discusses the issue – and this blog post<\/a> also deals with the topic. The above screenshot is from this blog post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Suggested solutions for the problem<\/h2>\n
<\/blockquote>\n

In this blog post<\/a> you will find a hint to set the Secure Boot option to \"Microsoft UEFI Certificate Authority\" in the security settings or to disable the Secure Boot. <\/p>\n

\"Hyper-V

The above screenshot is also from the contribution of scomandothergeekystuff.com<\/a>, but refers to Ubuntu there. On German WindowsPro you can find this article<\/a>, which also deals with this topic. There you can find the hint to convert the whole thing to Gen 1 VMs – which is not very helpful. Also in this article someone<\/a> deals with the configuration of the VM, but aims at a legacy network adapter for the network.<\/p>\n

On administrator.de, one person has found a completely different solution – he only makes sure that the keystrokes of the host are forwarded to the VM and the guest. He writes about this:<\/p>\n

Some suggestions found in the network (uncheck secure start, move ISO file) … have brought nothing. Note: In the HOST settings under User configure the keyboard for use with the \"physical\" computer … <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Maybe it will help one or the other affected person out of a mess.<\/p>\n
