Windows Server 2008R2 VMs Shut Down After 1 to 2 Hours
When created a lab environment to test ADFS 2.0 I utilized the Windows 2008R2 VM baselines distributed by Microsoft. After a few days I was told that I had to activate. The VMs included a 180 day license for use but I didn't feel like adding another network adapter into Hyper-V to connect them to the internet. I started having issues though where the servers would shut down every hour or so. I though that maybe there was a memory issue and Hyper-V was shutting them down in order to free up RAM. Turns out that if Server 2008R2 is not activated it automatically shuts down after a period of time. After connecting the server to the internet and activating them the problem went away.
Finally the madness of the unknown shut downs has ended :)
Thank you. it's what I was thinking.
