Here is a solution, but its old, #10132

[RockAfeller2013]

Os it seems like vagrant is not compatible with Windows 2012 R2 Hyper as Vagrant requires Nested Virtualization and thats only available in Windows Server 2016 and above as per article - Set-VMProcessor -VMName precise64 -ExposeVirtualizationExtensions $true

Is there a work around

Hi there,

Thanks for opening an issue with Vagrant! You can set the enable_checkpoints provider option to false in your Vagrantfile and that will fix the issue. For example:

  config.vm.provider "hyperv" do |h|
    h.enable_checkpoints = false
  end

This is needed because the Hyper-V module for Windows Server 2012 R2 doesn't have the CheckpointType parameter for configuring a VM.

Cheers and have a great day! 😄
