I was trying to open up a guest in the Hyper-V Manager console and I got the following error:
“An authentication error has occured (Code: 0x8009030e) ”
I then tried to open a few other guests and got the same error. I restarted the Hyper-V Manager, but had the same problem.
The simple fix is to log out of the server, then log back in and you will be able to open the guests again.
This happens if you are usually disconnecting from the host, rather than logging in and out each time as the credentials become stale.

Tuesday, December 9th, 2008I have been building some test Windows 2008 Hyper-V server’s on Dell Optiplex 755 workstations with 8GB of RAM recently, and I thought I would let you know what settings to change in the BIOS to make this work.
At first I was getting some errors like these below:
- Hyper-V launch failed; Either VMX not present or not enabled in BIOS.
- Hyper-V launch failed; at least one of the processors in the system does not appear to provide a virtualization platform supported by Hyper-V.
This was happening because I had missed the Execute disable setting in the BIOS. To fix this, boot the computer and press F2 to enter the BIOS.
In the BIOS you need to change the following settings
- Security > Execute Disable (set to On)
- Performance > Virtualization (set to On)
- Performance > VT for Direct I/O Access (set to On)
- Performance > Trusted Execution (set to Off)
Save and exit the BIOS, then power the computer down. You must power it down for the settings to take affect.
You will now being able to run Hyper-V on your Dell workstation!
How to Enable Virtualization Technology on a Dell 2950 to use Hyper-V in 64bit Windows 2008
Thursday, October 2nd, 2008Your processor must support VT and also have it enabled for you to be able to use Hyper-V in Windows 2008 server 64bit.
To do this on a Dell 2950, follow the steps below.
Go into the BIOS by pressing F2 as the server is booting.
Use the down arrow key to go down to CPU Information and press enter.
Use the down arrows to go down to Virtualization Technology and press the space bar to enable it.
Press Escape twice , then choose Save changes and Exit.
The server will do a hard power down by itself, then reboot.
Once Windows has booted, you can then check to make sure that Hyper-V is running and has no errors in the event log for it.
