Hi,
I'm running SCVMM 2012 SP1 Version 3.1.6018.0. This is hosted on a machine runningWindows Server 2012 R2.
Trying to add a host machine running Windows Server 2016 Datacenter.
We have plenty of Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows Server 2012 R2 hosts added in; 29 in total. All running happily with their respective virtual machines on each one.
We are just beginning to explore Windows Server 2016. Whenever I go to add this Server 2016 host, SCVMM crashes. Forcing a restart of the service on the VMM host server to get the console back. I can see the machine is added when I get the console back but it continues to crash (forcing me to restart the service each time) until I remove the 2016 host. As soon as the host is removed, SCVMM is happy again and doesn't crash.
If I watch the jobs as the machine is added I can see that it gets to the "Refresh Host" stage and seems to stop here. All other processes complete OK.
Log on the VMM Server show the following at the time of the crash:

Any ideas what the problem could be? I can't see any documentation showing that there are any incompatibilities. And debugging VMM doesn't give me any useful information.
