Snapshot technology Initiation failure on 2012R2 VM
Just started getting this error recently on a new VM I created in my Server 2012 Standard Hyper-V. The VM is Server 2012R2 Standard. I have another VM that is 2012R2 and I don't have any issues with it. I have updated the integration services. Here's the error:
Job ended: Sunday, March 16, 2014 at 10:37:35 PM Completed status: Failed Final error: 0xe000fed1 - A failure occurred querying the Writer status. See the job log for details about the error.

Any help on why this is happening is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Never mind I actually found my answer via Spiceworks...this is CRAZY!!! SBE 2012 R2 won't be released until 3rd Q?!?! That's a FULL YEAR after the OS is released! Terrible...just absolutely terrible.
