Hyper V 2012: Can’t delete Virtual Machine

Issue: Try to import new CRM2011 machine to Hyper V, some problem occur. But the VM can't be deleted.

There are many reasons why your VM is no longer needed such as you’ve moved to another farm or you simply don’t need the virtual machine. 

Delete Fails in MMC & Hyper-V-VMMS Source Errors in Event Viewer

You’ve noticed a “straggler” left behind in your SCVMM console and you attempt to delete it and VMM says no thank you.  You can’t repair (which you expected since the files are gone, etc.) nor can you force it to delete. But error message appear.

View the Event Viewer (Custom Views –> Roles –> Hyper-V.)  You immediately notice a lot of errors similar to the following for the VM you are attempting to delete

Clean Up
To resolve this problem, do the following:

1. Connect to your Hyper-V Server
2. Open Windows Explorer
3. Open the path %systemroot%\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Hyper-V\Virtual Machines (NOTE:  This is a hidden folder and requires Operating System files to be displayed)
4. You will notice a set of XML documents, one for each Virtual Machine on this host.  locate the one with the same matching GUID from your event viewer message as outlined below -
   
   
   
5. Right-click on the XML file with the same GUID, and select delete
6. Close Windows Explorer
7. Open Hyper-V MMC console
8. Notice that the virtual machine is gone…

Cleaning up Virtual Machine Manager

VMM will almost instantly determine that this virtual machine is now missing and you can do the famous delete and it will succeed.

Simply right-click and select delete. Finish.

Liferay: Beginner & Overview

Reference:

In short, Liferay Portal is more than a development platform, more than a content management system, more than a social network, and more than a set of collaboration tools. It’s the best way to build a web site.
http://www.liferay.com/documentation/liferay-portal/6.1/user-guide/-/ai/lp-6-1-ugen01-using-liferay-portal-as-a-content-management-system-1

How Can Liferay’s WCM Help You?

With Liferay’s WCM you have the ability to create, edit, stage, publish and approve content with easy to learn yet powerful tools. Liferay’s WCM streamlines the content creation process for end users. It’s much faster to use Liferay’s WCM than it would be to create all the content for your site in HTML. Some ways Liferay WCM makes this possible include:

• Once set up, non-technical users can manage the site.
• Liferay’s fine-grained permissions system ensures your content gets to the right users.
• To manage the site, no programming is required.
• Content can be staged.
• Content can be passed through a workflow.
• Content can be published on a schedule.
• WCM is integrated with Liferay’s services so advanced template developers can use them to query for data stored elsewhere in Liferay.

Once you get familiar with Liferay WCM you’ll wonder how you ever got along without it.
