"An error occurred while attempting to start selected virtual machines"

Hello pradeep08_81,

Thanks for your assistance here.  

We tried adding <b>"icacls "E:\VMs\VMName\Disk0.vhd" /grant "NT VIRTUAL MACHINE\5FC5C385-BD98-451F-" </b> entering the path, and our own VM SID (generated by the error) and we still get the error.

The icacls entered correctly via the cmd, in that is passed successfully without any errors.  

Frustrating.

Hi,

Check the syntax again,

icacls "E:\VMs\VMName\Disk0.vhd" /grant "NT VIRTUAL MACHINE\5FC5C385-BD98-451F-B3F3-1E50E06EE663":F

Your VM ID is : 59872F92-842E-4887-AC29-A53A20AD8089 (As per screenshot)

if not try steps in this:

Hope that helps :)

If this is not working then check for *.avhd files in the same directory where the vhd files are stored (check for the default location also for avhd files) if they are there then run the command with the avhd file path and same VM SID.

It will resolve the issue.

Thanks for the links - very informative.  Turns out that it was a profile issue.  We added administrator credentials when creating the VM, but we was logged on the physical server (the one we was copying) with the same credentials.  So when creating the VE, we used different admin credentials and got it to work.

Thanks for your help.

Spencer,

It seems you forget to give points. I have given the answer.

Yeh, sorry - points will be added to you via admin.

Spencer,

Question is open now. Its your turn to give points.

:-)

Hey pradeep08_81,

Points assigned mate.  

Could you help me out, do you have any idea what sort of network disruption will happen when we assign a local area virtual connections (in Hyper-V) to an externally teamed NIC?

We would like do this live, but the server is our main DC - so I need to research what is going to happen "if" we click yes.

Please see image,

Thanks.

Sorry for delay, please ask new question.

"An error occurred while attempting to start selected virtual machines"

Tried accessing below link but 404 error is visible.
http://servermanagement24x7.com/hyper-v-general-access-denied-error-0x80070005.html

I still could not delete the VMs and it is eating all the space on the machine.

I tried the icacls "E:\VMs\VMName\Disk0.vhd" /grant "NT VIRTUAL MACHINE\5FC5C385-BD98-451F-B3F3-1E50E06EE663":(F) option but it still doesnot allow to delete the VM.

Please help
