when you are creating vms using a w2012 template choose windows 2008 server=
 type from drop down box and you should be ok, in change log i can see that=
 they resolved this problem with 4.4 but upgrade is not easy for you becaus=
e of manual changes required in mysql database, if you are familiar with ex=
ecuting queries it is very easy,
