Replication establishing error between Hyper-V 2012R2 and 2016 (0x00002EFE)

Question

I have Active Directory scenario with bunch of Hyper-V Server 2012R2 and Hyper-V Server 2016 servers. I have configured Kerberos authentication on port 80, enabled on firewall. I Want to enable replication from Hyper-V Server 2012R2 to Hyper-V Server 2016 and Im immediately getting this error message connected with event. in eventlog:

Hyper-V failed to enable replication. Hyper-V failed to enable replication for virtual machine 'XXXXX': The connection with the server was terminated abnormally (0x00002EFE).

Log Name: Microsoft-Windows-Hyper-V-VMMS-Admin Source: Microsoft-Windows-Hyper-V-VMMS Date: 2. 2. 2017 22:19:29 Event ID: 29212 Task Category: None Level: Error Keywords:
User: SYSTEM Computer: HV02 Description: The description for Event ID 29212 from source Microsoft-Windows-Hyper-V-VMMS cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.

If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.

The following information was included with the event:

%%2147943395 0x800703E3

The locale specific resource for the desired message is not present

I cant find any info about that replication between 2012R2 and 2016 is or isnt possible...

Have you experienced that?

Best regards, Jan

Solution

I have found the answer: HTTP communication in replication protocol is crafted proprietarily. So it is not the standard one. In my Kerio Control, there is a IPS protection what kills the connection silently. I was created special firewall rule that is only for that commnunication and this rule is not using HTTP inspection module. From that point the replication starts working smoothly.
