cannot add a group to another group on an hyper-v Virtual machine.

hi,

 

i try add group group using below code:

 

                directoryentry hostee = mygetgroup(server, hosteegroup);

 

                directoryentry hoster = mygetgroup (server, hostergroup);

 

                //// begin remove machine name.

    //// example, original path winnt://domainname/machinename/testgroup,

                //// after fix becomes winnt://domainname/testgroup, can added subgroup successfully.

                string machinename = environment.machinename;

                string stringtoremove = "/" + machinename + "/";

                int machinenamestart = hostee.path.indexof(stringtoremove);

                string hosteepath = hostee.path;

                if (machinenamestart >= 0)

                {

                    hosteepath = hostee.path.remove(machinenamestart, stringtoremove.length - 1);

                }

                ////end of removing machine name.

 

                hoster.invoke("add", new object[] { hosteepath });

 

this works fine on physical machine. example, can add testgroup1 testgroup2 on physical machine. however, last line threw exception on virtual machine has joined the domain:

 

unknown error happened setup component: method:addgrouptogroup, server:., hosteegroup:testgroup1, hostergroup:testgroup2. system.reflection.targetinvocationexception: exception has been thrown target of invocation. ---> system.runtime.interopservices.comexception (0x800706fd): the trust relationship between workstation , primary domain failed.

 

i  executed code using my domain account admin on machine. more specific, nothing difference when executed code on physical machine , on vm.

 

what difference of physical machine , vm causing such different behavior?

 

is there way make code work vm or exception design?

 

appreciate help.

 

 

thanks

leon

 

the message indicates secure channel between target workstation , domain has been broken. 1 approach resolving described in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/216393 - simply removing workstation domain , re-adding afterwards. in case, don't believe has (at least directly) fact workstation running on virtualized platform...
