hyper-v power off automatically

Recently I installed hyper-v on windows server 2008 enterprise R2. I also installed win server 2008 enterprise R2 on hyper-v.

After a while I noticed that hyper-v was powered off.

This is happening after every start. Each time hyper-v is powering off.

Host system is fully updated and there is no error log neither in hosts event log nor in virtual machine system event log.

What should I do to avoid hyper-v automatic off?

Thanks

If you are using an expired Windows version, you could try to run (from 'cmd'):

slmgr -rearm

Or, if you have the right Windows key, but didn't bind it to this vm yet you can use the following command to bind the right key:

slmgr -ipk xxxx-xxxx-xxxxx-xxxx

run slmgr.exe and specify the /ipk parameter.

If you meant to say the VM is being automatically shutdown, the "Admin" and "Analytic" event logs on host under "Applications and Services Logs\Microsoft\Windows\Hyper-V-VMMS" should have detailed information on what happened to the VM. You can also check "Hyper-V-Worker" events to see if you can find any anomalies. If not already enabled, you can enable the logs with following commands:

wevtutil sl Microsoft-Windows-Hyper-V-VMMS-Admin /e:false /ca:""

wevtutil sl Microsoft-Windows-Hyper-V-VMMS-Admin /e:true /q

wevtutil sl Microsoft-Windows-Hyper-V-VMMS-Analytic /e:false /ca:""

wevtutil sl Microsoft-Windows-Hyper-V-VMMS-Analytic /e:true /q

wevtutil sl Microsoft-Windows-Hyper-V-Worker-Admin /e:false /ca:""

wevtutil sl Microsoft-Windows-Hyper-V-Worker-Admin /e:true /q

wevtutil sl Microsoft-Windows-Hyper-V-Worker-Analytic /e:false /ca:""

wevtutil sl Microsoft-Windows-Hyper-V-Worker-Analytic /e:true /q
