<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
Now this is something i find VERY strange.<br />
<br />
I have a Server 2008R2 with the Hyper-V role.<br />
This act as the host for a virtual SBS2011.<br />
I have 2 external storage devices installed.<br />
<br />
The first storage is a NAS connected with ISCSI.<br />
If I shut down my virtual SBS2011 I am able to export this to drive H which is an ISCSI share on NAS 1.<br />
<br />
The second storage is located on another physical Server2008R2 and connected as a plain share (\\SERVER2\STORAGE)<br />
I can confirm, that I have full access to this share but if I try to do an export to this path it fails instantly!!<br />
<br />
Can anyone tell me the reason why this is happening?

Export of Hyper-V not possible to mapped drive on another server

Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2, based on the Microsoft Vista codebase, is the last 32-bit server operating system released by Microsoft. It has a number of versions, including including Foundation, Standard, Enterprise, Datacenter, Web, HPC Server, Itanium and Storage; new features included server core installation and Hyper-V.

Windows Server 2008

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.

Virtualization

Hyper-V is a native hypervisor; it can create virtual machines on x86-64 systems and supersedes Windows Virtual PC as the hardware virtualization component of the client editions of Windows NT. A server computer running Hyper-V can be configured to expose individual virtual machines to one or more networks. Hyper-V Server supports remote access via Remote Desktop Connection. Administration and configuration of the host OS and the guest virtual machines is generally done over the network.
