Vagrant up fail with Hyper-V

[Max84]

Vagrant version

1.9.7

Host operating system

Windows 10 (french version)

Guest operating system

gusztavvargadr/w10e

Vagrantfile

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
	Vagrant.require_version ">= 1.9.7"
	config.vm.provider "hyperv"
	config.vm.box = "gusztavvargadr/w10e"
end

Expected behavior

I expect a new VM.

Actual behavior

I get this error:

F:>vagrant up
Bringing machine 'default' up with 'hyperv' provider...
==> default: Verifying Hyper-V is enabled...
==> default: Configured startup memory is 1024
==> default: Configured cpus number is 1

But i get this commutator "Pour Accès Externe", into Hyper-V.
I suspect, it's due to "è" (seen like this into Hyper-V), but become "è" with Vagrant.

Steps to reproduce

1. Vagrant up (only), maybe onto a French Windows Host.

References

No

Hello,
I confirm this issue relates to the accentuated e: if we create a new commutator with no special character it works.

Confirmed. Seems to be an encoding issue.

How to workaround this?

[Prometee]

@AlexRadch Create a new "virtual switch" (виртуальный коммутатор) in Hyper-V Manager with an english name like "Default Virtual Switch" with the same options then retry vagrant up

[AlexRadch]

@Prometee yes it works.

Hi there,

It looks like this has been resolved within a previously shipped version of Vagrant so I am now closing this issue. If the original issue was not fully resolved, please reopen this issue or create a new one.

Cheers!

I'm on 2.2.7 and I still get this error:

Hi @jospradlin,

Sorry that you're seeing this error when bringing up a VM. I see that your error is in the start_vm.ps1 script, and the original issue mentioned the import_vm_vmcx.ps1 script. Would you be willing to open up a new issue and fill out the issue template so we can investigate?

Cheers! 😄
