Server 2016 Hypver-V host locked up.
Logged in, black screen. Unable to access task manager.
2 running virtual machines. 1 running Exchange 2016, one is a DC.
I can RDP into Exchange so that can be properly shut down. It too has windows updates pending. The other virtual machine is pingable.
Windows update on host is set to automatically download updates but set to manually install. The win update service was not running but is currently starting.
Volume Shadow copy service on host is currently locked on stopping.
I can access the host's services and files remotely, just the desktop appears to be locked.
I am away from the office so I can only access the host via RDP at the moment. I'll be there in person on Monday.
What is the best course of action to reduce the chance of corrupting the host? Is there a way to open the cmd at the lock screen to attempt a shutdown /r ?
Thanks
