Hyper-V VMs continually shutting down

I have an issue with my Virtual Machines (VMs) shutting down after a short period. It would appear to be related to the operating system expiring.

Happens with Windows Server 2008 VMs … Windows 7 VMs appears to be okay.

One solutions is rearming from the command prompt with

slmgr.vbs –rearm

The post I got the fix from mentioned that this would reoccur in about 5 days.

I suspect that the VMs will have to be rearmed every time they are reverted. A small annoyance in a test environment but in a production environment … where is your licence!!
