Hyper-V Error – An Authentication error has occurred. The Local Security Authority cannot be contacted.
Today I was trying to connect to a Hyper-V Virtual Machine when I started to get this error on all of the VM's on that particular host. I was connecting to the Hyper-V host via a Windows 8 Workstation via the Hyper-V Manager.
At first I thought it was an issue with my account, but it wasn't. After hunting around for ages and running out of ideas, I stumbled across the obvious. The Hyper-V host didn't have the correct DNS servers set.
So I changed the DNS Servers to the correct ones that were being used in my Domain and bob was my uncle!
Hope this helps!
You da man!!! That fix my issue. one server was hyper-v 2012 and the other was hyper-v 2012 R2
Thank you very much; this has been very helpful to me.
I’ve acquired a 2012 server that someone else set up, and I’ve been trying to resolve this error for weeks now. I’ve looked at the solution you’ve described, and I want to give it a shot. But the virtual switch on the server doesn’t have an IP address. No other services have been bound to it except “Hyper-V Extensible Virtual Switch”. Can you imagine a reason for this?
Like a charm, thanks brother saved me a lot of time…
wow, such a different solution as I would have ever thought. Thanks for sharing this!
Thanks for sharing! Saved my life 🙂
Got me out of a hole with this. Many thanks for sharing! *high five and fist bump*
