What Causes Hyper-V Error 0x8009030E?
Here are the most common reasons for encountering this error:
- Misconfigured settings on the source or destination host.
- There is a lack of available storage on the host machine.
- Issues with stored or damaged credential files.
- The firewall blocks the ports required for live migration.
- The absence of proper Kerberos constrained delegation, which is necessary for secure communication.
- VMs on the source and destination hosts are not compatible.
- Security software blocks essential network traffic.
Solutions to Resolve Hyper-V Error 0x8009030E
1. Run Hyper-V Manager as Administrator
Many Hyper-V actions require elevated privileges. Running Hyper-V Manager with administrative rights ensures access to all necessary functions.
Click here for the Solution.
- Log in as an administrator.
- Right-click the Hyper-V Manager shortcut and select Run as administrator.
- Confirm the action in the User Account Control (UAC) prompt.
- Retry the operation to check if the error is resolved.
2. Configure Kerberos Delegation
Kerberos constrained delegation allows programs to use client credentials when needed securely. Misconfiguration or absence of this delegation often leads to authentication failures.
Click here for the Solution.
- Open PowerShell as an administrator.
- Run the following command to check the computer account’s Kerberos delegation configuration:
Get-ADComputer -Identity [ComputerAccount] -Properties msDS-AllowedToDelegateTo | Select-Object -ExpandProperty msDS-AllowedToDelegateTo - Review the output for Hyper-V-related services. If missing:
- Launch Active Directory Users and Computers.
- Locate and right-click the targeted computer account, then select Properties.
- Navigate to the Delegation tab.
- Select Trust this computer for delegation to specified services only and Use Kerberos only.
- Apply changes and test the connection again.
3. Modify Account Options
The error can occur if the targeted account has the “Account is sensitive and cannot be delegated” option enabled.
Click here for the Solution.
- Open the account properties in Active Directory Users and Computers.
- Then, go to the Account tab.
- Uncheck Account is sensitive and cannot be delegated under Account options.
- Click Apply, then OK.
- Retry the operation.
4. Check Firewall and Antivirus Settings
A firewall or antivirus software may block the ports required for live migration.
Click here for the Solution.
- Review the firewall and antivirus configurations to ensure they allow Hyper-V communication.
- Temporarily disable the security software and retry the operation.
- If successful, whitelist Hyper-V components in the security software.
5. Update Hyper-V Integration Components
Outdated integration components can cause communication issues between VMs and the Hyper-V host.
Click here for the Solution.
- Open Hyper-V Manager and select the VM.
- Right-click the VM and choose Connect.
- From the Action menu, select Insert Integration Services Setup Disk.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to update the components.
- Restart the VM and verify if the issue is resolved.
How to Prevent Future Errors
To avoid encountering error 0x8009030E in the future, follow these best practices:
- Regularly update Hyper-V, Windows, and integration components.
- Ensure sufficient disk space is available for live migrations.
- Check Hyper-V settings on both source and destination hosts.
- Ensure Kerberos constrained delegation is correctly configured for Hyper-V.
- Configure firewalls and antivirus software to allow Hyper-V operations.
