Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

  • You install the Hyper-V role on a computer that is running Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 (SP1).

  • You run a virtual machine on the computer.

  • You use a network adapter on the virtual machine to access a network.

  • You establish many concurrent network connections. Or, there is heavy outgoing network traffic.

In this scenario, the network connection on the virtual machine may be lost. Additionally, the network adapter may be disabled.
