KB2781512 – WinRM “PUT” operations to Hyper-V fail on a W2008R2 With WMF 3.0 Installed

WMF 3.0 is appearing a lot online, and not in good ways.  Another KB article has been posted related this this release where WinRM "PUT" operations to Hyper-V fail on a Windows Server 2008 R2-based computer that has Windows Management Framework 3.0 installed.

Consider the following scenario:

• You install the Hyper-V role on a Windows Server 2008 R2-based computer.
• You install Windows Management Framework (WMF) 3.0 on the computer.
• You install one or more virtual machines on the computer.
• You use Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) to manage the computer and the virtual machines.

In this scenario, "PUT" operations between Windows Remote Management (WinRM) and Hyper-V fail. Therefore, SCVMM cannot manage updates to the computer or to the virtual machines. When this issue occurs, you receive an error message that resembles the following:

Error number: -2147024882 0x8007000E
Not enough storage is available to complete this operation.

Note This issue also occurs in Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 (SP1). However, the hotfix that this article describes resolves the issue in RTM versions of Windows Server 2008 R2 only. The hotfix for Windows Server 2008 SP1 will be released at a later date.

A supported hotfix is available from Microsoft.
