SCVMM 2008 R2 Operations Timeout

Sometimes, using SCVMM on a new Hyper-V cluster to deploy a new VM may result in an operational timeout. This is an example:

Although the error message did not state "timeout" directly, you would see the following exact error when you execute "winrm helpmsg" on the error code given (in this example 0x80338029):

C:\> winrm helpmsg 0x80338029

The WS-Management service cannot complete the operation within the time specified in OperationTimeout.
 
The Hyper-V hosts may need longer time to respond to the VMM server using Windows Remote-Management (winrm). To increase the time-out period and to increase more concurrent operations that can be performed by the VMM server, execute the following commands on the affected Hyper-V hosts:
 
winrm set winrm/config @{MaxTimeoutms = "1800000"}
winrm set winrm/config/Service @{MaxConcurrentOperationsPerUser="400"}
net stop winrm

net start winrm
net start vmmagent
 
For other "Not Responding" host status issues on SCVMM 2008 R2, refer to this useful guide on Microsoft official site.
