Create a shared folder with a Hyper-v session

When you are configuring your Hyper-V Virtual Network , make sure that you select the type as "External" this way all your virtual machines / servers will be the part of the same physical LAN (Subnet) and then file sharing etc will be achieved.

Once you have your Hyper-V Network setup as external, check the IP Address of your Virtual Machine / Server to make sure its the same as your LAN ; then you can create a shared folder on any machine on your lan and provided you have the permissions setup properly they will be accessible and visible.
Hope this Helps.
PS : If your host server has 2 NICs or more, you can dedicate the 2nd nic for your Hyper-v virtual machines, the rule is the same its only to manage the traffic and load and the recommended way ; just make sure when you select the 2nd nic that it is connected to your lan switch exactly the same way as your host server's 1st nic and the hyper-v network type is "External"

I have done this and joined the vs to the domain and created a share but when I try to connect from a machine on the network I get an access denied

If you are getting access denied and the machine joined to the domain successfully ; it is related to permissions ;
create a new shared folder on your virtual server, give everyone full access to it and then see what happens ?
are you tryin to access the shared folder from a domain joined client ?

if you are being prompted for a username / password, try to input the domain name \ username and the password, or try the local machine name\administrator and the password
I don't see this as a hyper-v issue, as the VS is joining to the domain properly
check the shared folder with everyone full access to test ;

I have done research online and have seen nothing about creating a shared folder on the virtual machine.  I know you can create one on the host and the virtual machine can connect to it.  Are you sure this is even possible?  I thought it would be pretty cut and dry but now I'm questioning it.  

I have joined the Hyper-V server to the network.  I can browse shared folders on the old servers.  I have joined the domain.  But when I attempt to create a share on the Hyper-V server it will not allow me to access it from any other computer on the network.  It does not prompt me for credentials it just gives me a access denied.  

I have another network with Hyper-V setup and created a shared folder just fine and accessed it from the host server.  Is there anything specific that I need to do?  This is a brand new install of 2008 on Hyper-V.  All I have done was run Windows Updates and install the integration services setup disk.  I have attempted to create a share multiple ways and have given everyone access with no success.

The Hyper-V Server in question :

I assume is the Role of Hyper-V you are using, Host OS Windows Server x64 BIT with Hyper-V Role ?

How many NICs do you have in this Hyper-v Host server ?

Virtual network you are using, make sure the type is set to External

can you rdp to this hyper-v virtual machine (not the host server) from your LAN computers ?

The virtual server can have shared folders or anything you want just like the physical server.

disable windows firewall on the hyper-v host and on the virtual server as well, disable any AV / FW you may have on the host or on the virtual server itself and see ;

The Host server has 2 NIC cards.  I attempted to remote into the virtual machine and it failed.  I disabled the firewall on the host and virtual machine and remote desktop worked.  I looked at the network adapter and my options are 1. Not Connected 2. Guest Virtual Network 3. Virtual Network.  That seems to be the difference on the other network that I have no problem with.  The Network Card on it shows an actual broadcom nic card.  Is that the problem?  How do I resolve this?

If I just try to go to \\servername which is my virtual server name it gives me this error:


""\\192.*.*.* is not accessible.  You might not have permission to use this network resource.  Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.

Logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer.""

I have plugged in the second NIC card and using the Virtual Netwokr Manager changed to this NIC with still no success.  I am on location attempting to get this setup ASAP.  Please someone help.

Disable the AV and firewall on your Virtual server ; that is what it looks to be causing this and test

make sure its on the same ip subnet as all your other client pc's / servers

on your virtual server, check in security policy for the box itself :

Look in the local security policy and make sure "access this computer from the network" is set correctly.

Ok I think you have found it.  There is only one name listed in here but the add/remove buttons are greyed out.  How do I add/remove people?

Well I have no idea who would create a Default Domain Policy that would only allow a user that is not even being used be the only one with access to machines.  I had to go in to the default domain policy and modify this rule.  I just removed the rule all together.  Thanks for all the help.  I was in the wrong place the entire time.
