Error Applying Hyper-V Virtual Switch Properties in Windows 10 FIX
53Error Applying Hyper-V Virtual Switch Properties in Windows 10 FIX.
Powershell Command:
netcfg -d
We already talked about IP networking in Hyper-V and the procedure used to configure virtual network switches. Sometimes, it does not work due to the issues with the network adapter and host. One of the challenges end-users are facing is with the creation of external switch in Hyper-V client hosted on Windows 10.
Every virtual machine that is hosted on Hyper-V 2019 probably requires a virtual network card in order to communicate with the rest of the network. In order to do so, we would need to create a virtual switch and assign it to the virtual machine. There are three different virtual switches on the Hyper-V including private, internal and external. The private network switch provides only communication between virtual machines that are hosted on a physical server. Next to that, the internal switch provides communication between virtual machines and Hyper-V host. The last, but not the least one is the external switch. An external switch is bound to the physical network card and provide communication with the entire network. After we create a virtual switch, the next step would be to assign a virtual switch to the virtual machine. Which switch will we assign? It depends on the virtual machine’s use case.
Some IT Admin is experiencing problems when creating virtual switches on the Hyper-V, regardless if they are trying to create it via GUI or Powershell. One of the error is known as “Error applying virtual switch properties changes. Failed while adding virtual ethernet switch connections.” The details show the GUID of the adapter, with the final text, “The system cannot find the file specified. (0x80070002). The same issue occurs not only on Hyper-V 2019 but also on Hyper-V 2016 and Hyper-V 2012.
