"Help me get my VM's Networking going again after a W8.1.2 update screwed it up."  This Bandwidth question was just a stab in the dark for that.  And I am still no closer to understanding why it was broken.  However, it is appearing to me that it may be because both the host and the VM retain information unnecessarily about previous configurations.  I think if I could erase all that knowledge I would be closer to a solution for my real problem.

This tack is hinted at in this report

In a way mine might be something like that because one of the things that got run by the host was another instance of a Surface firmware update (an analog to the blogger's power surge frying his system? <eg>).  That thing keeps running at the end of every month it seems and never really gets applied properly.  However, I'm hoping that this month it may actually have done something useful finally, but apparently at the expense of screwing up my VM's networking.  (BTW it would be helpful to know if there is a validation procedure for it too.)

Here's some proof.  This was after removing Hyper-V from my OS (via Win-w Tu Fe)

Fortunately Wi-Fi started working after I got rid of the Virtual switch.  Clearly there are remnants that should not be there.  How do I get rid of them before starting over? 

I have NVSPBind but I'm not sure what I should try doing with it.

I'm pretty close to looking for  NVSPScrub  to try to end my frustration.   ; }

Hi Robert,

The main issue is to remove the old virtual network adapter completely, right? Did the nvspbind.exe work?

We can refer to the following link to have a check:

Not able to access the Hyper-V host machine on the network even though Virtual Machines on that host machine can communicate on the same network
http://blogs.technet.com/b/networking/archive/2010/06/04/not-able-to-access-the-hyper-v-host-machine-on-the-network-even-though-virtual-machines-on-that-host-machine-can-communicate-on-the-same-network.aspx

Best r

Did the nvspbind.exe work?

Looks like it will do nothing as long as the Hyper-V feature is not enabled.  E.g. I just tried  nvspbind -o "IPV4" and got nothing?  Also, when I installed it I had the Hyper-V feature unchecked but it automatically re-enabled the Hyper-V.   Otherwise, while Hyper-V was enabled, as I indicated I didn't really know what I should be doing with nvspbind but it was giving me signs that what I was trying to do would not be possible with it.

We can refer to the following link to have a check:

Thanks for that.  The link it gives to the NVSPScrub is obsolete and there is no specific forwarding clue.  While the Hyper-V feature is unchecked I can not test to see if I have enabled the scenario the article describes about Host access.  It doesn't mention the implementation of that option in the host machine.  The forwarding link does lead to another tool, Hyper-V Remote Management Configuration Utility and another MS blog post (same author) but I don't think it is what I want either.

Ah.  A search of that poster's blog has led me to this post which contains what looks to be an early version of the script.  Do you think that this would be safe to try?  Remember that this host (my Surface Pro 2) is my main connection to the Internet.  The last time I tried something with Hyper-V I even lost my Wi-Fi connectivity so it really is broken and I don't know of any effective repair tool.

https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/2ac6f75c-abe3-4b11-ab6e-022642df32c4/cannot-add-intel-associated-network-card-to-virtual-network?forum=winserverhyperv

Another search for NVSPScrub has found a gold mine of information for helping understand this

http://www.altaro.com/hyper-v/troubleshooting-the-hyper-v-virtual-switch-part-2/

So, now it looks like since I don't have a  Remove-VMSwitch cmdlet to use I'm going to be in the same state that a poster in there was who apparently had success with  NVSPScrub.

First though I can keep trying some of the other tips in that page to try to understand the defect behind my symptom.  For example, I found out that the proper syntax for trying to find matches for  IPv6  and  IPv4  would be something I probably never would have thought of or found:

It looks like the version of NVSPScrub that I found is the same as the one being offered on that page.  Nevertheless I think I feel better about the one being posted by Keith Mange [MSFT] who is reported elsewhere to be its author.

It looks like the version of NVSPScrub that I found is the same as the one being offered on that page.

Must be an early version of it.  There is no opportunity to give it a -p switch which was apparently part of the poster's success.  In any case it doesn't work for me

Looking for nvspwmi...
C:\Users\Rob\Downloads\NVSPBind\NVSPScrub.js(353, 5) Microsoft JScript runtime error: Unable to get an instance of Msvm_VirtualSwitchManagementService: Invalid class

CScript Error: Execution of the Windows Script Host failed. (0x80020102)

I found that I do have the Remove-VMSwitch cmdlet after all.  Perhaps I was checking when Hyper-V was turned off.  But it doesn't think there is a Virtual Switch present that it would do something about.

So, what's this then?

That's what I want to get rid of.

Hi Robert,

How about the issue?

Before we trying to use the script to remove the virtual adaptor, we can try to disable or remove them from the control panel and then create them again to have a check.

Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections

Open the device manager,  check the "Show hidden devices" of the "View" tab.

Best regards

I'm past that.   Notice my comment about the script not having the -p switch support?  I don't think I have the right script.  Do you know where to get the one with that feature?

FWIW here is where I am at now

This shows the problem. E.g. Originally the Hyper-V Virtual Ethernet Adapter #2 would have been filled in the same way that the Hyper-V Virtual Ethernet Adapter #3 now is.  I don't know what other redundancies there are (some I think) but in any case the remnants are causing the GUI at least confusion which I suspect is making the whole thing unusable.  For example, the GUI is giving me a rejection warning about trying to use two adapters in my VM (or some such wording).  Wrong and unhelpful.   And it is not allowing me to clean the mess up and start over.  That's what I wanted NVSPBind or NVSPScrub to do.

Any idea what provider I could specify to try to trace what the GUI is doing?  It doesn't clarify what it is really seeing, just gives its wrong interpretation of what it assumes is the case.

Thanks for the help.

I have the Homegroup networked but as soon as I try to let one of the other computers get connected so it can share connectivity the W10 VM becomes disconnected.  So I think it is pretty evident that much if not all of the problem will be security/obscurity, not just networking.  In fact, I get signs of that occasionally in 10122 telling me that its Defender protection is out-of-date.  If NAP was still there I would be checking it.  What is replacing NAP?  How do I get Defender updated while there is no Internet access? 

BTW yesterday showed an example of the absurdity of requiring Internet access too much in this OS.  I wanted to change the filetype association for .ps1 since I had it set to Notepad.  The only option I was given was to try the Store (beta) to look for an app! 

How do I get Defender updated while there is no Internet access? 

Evidently I can download stuff using another computer in the Homegroup which does have Internet access, then disable the Internet access, then repair the Homegroup in the VM, then share the downloaded file and run it.  In this case I downloaded NIS_full.exe.  When I ran it the only thing it did was flash a message about unpacking its .zip file.  Did it do anything else?  How would I know?

I managed to get a snip of the VM's Defender Status but I only thought to do that after running the NIS update.  Was anything changed?  How would I know?  No dates or timestamps are given.  Is there a PowerShell equivalent which could give more information and an easier capture of it?

BTW I had previously typed all this (or a better version of it) and pasted in a previous version of this image when I realized that I wanted to resize it.  How to do that?  NOT with the Cancel button!  Who is going to think of using Ctrl-z in the anxiety of messing up posting an image using this horrible UI?

Also, when I went to resave the image Paint couldn't do it.  Evidently IE hangs on to the handle even after the image is gone from the composition and after the composition is gone.  F5 Refresh was enough to clear up that usability quirk/defect.

I think my irritation level has reached a maximum and I am going to have to leave this and go and do something else to calm down.

Please check the following link and give it a try.

Thanks, Meipo.  That is an interesting option I was unaware of.  However, I have concluded that my download technique using the Homegroup seems to have worked.  At least I'm not getting any more warnings about out-of-date "definitions".  I was surprised how poor feedback was though from that option.  E.g. until I actually dug down into the file changes that had occurred at that time I was given no clue that anything more had occurred than the downloads had been upacked (or really only that they had tried to be unpacked).

My latest idea for getting rid of that broken virtual adapter is to use DevCon but the version that I downloaded was created in 2002!  I'm wondering if that could that be used to get rid of the remnants of a switch created by W8.1.2 Hyper-V Manager?

However, before trying to do anything more about either of the tools that I have been asking questions about I can look at these vague symptoms that the troubleshooters have been reporting.  For example, regarding the "missing protocols" one I'm wondering if that could be LLDP since that is disabled in several places. For example, here is what NVSPBind is reporting when Hyper-V is not even installed

Hi Robert,

"How do I get Defender updated while there is no Internet access?  "

Please check the following link and give it a try.

Hi Robert,

We wonder if there is any luck your issue has been resolved, if you've found solution by yourself. We would appreciate it if you could share with us and we could mark it as answer.

Best regards

We wonder if there is any luck your issue has been resolved, if you've found solution by yourself.

No luck.  One problem I'm having is that W10 10122 networking troubleshooters for everything except the Homegroup fail with a very uninformative message:  A problem is preventing the troubleshooter from starting.  I even tried using the msdt method from PS (Admin) and still got that symptom.  At least I can switch back to Homegroup and communicate (indirectly) with the world that way.  But even that is not a smooth procedure.  E.g. I just installed NetMon and the latest parsers that way (so I don't have to keep using NetMon on W10's traces via Paste) but getting there felt like I was hacking with the troubleshooters (protocols and filesharing and network connection class all had to change to allow Homegroup communication.)

I still imagine that getting rid of those remnant Virtual switch pieces could clean stuff up but I was trying to see if I could use NVSPBind at least to find out what was wrong first.  I have managed to find a later version of  NVSPScrub which contains the fabled -p and -v switch support but haven't tried it yet.  While doing that I found out that supposedly there will be an even later version of it which contains something called -n switch support.  But I haven't found that source yet.

The /N switch will allow you to target specific NICs for cleaning.

That sounds like NVSPBind's /u switch functionality.

The most infuriating thing is that I think the troubleshooters may actually be impeding progress.  E.g. here is a snip from my notes about the kind of things that I am gleaning from NetMon's ETL Summary:

<quote>

This troubleshooter is making stuff up!  "Intermittently losing data?"  WTH?  Low Health?  Nonsense!  When it asked me to turn off my hardware I used my modem's router's control panel which means I had connectivity through my wireless router to my modem.  In fact, the wireless router should be acting as a bridge for the local IP address I chose for the VM LAN to use.  I had to chose a local address because the AutoConfig thing is not working, even when I start Dot3SVC.  Why is that not being started automatically anyway?

Oh no.  This was supposed to be my "life preserver".  From my notes

The new NVSPScrub has the same problem that the old one has

PS> 

Note the change of Namespace and the change of class name for something that may be analogous.  What does this mean?  Was the original script designed for server owners?  Some particular version of one?  Is there something I should be trying to install from say Driver SDK?  FWIW I already have W8.1 SDK.

Hi Robert,

Considering you are working with a script, we can try to ask for help from our script forum. They may have more resources to help you.
