Is this a HyperV clustered environment? &nbsp;If so, can you fail them over to a different host and try the export again?

This machine is not clustered - it is stand alone.

Thank you TropicalBound! &nbsp;After looking at the permissions for 2 VMs I found that the ones that would not export were missing the 'Virtual Machines' group. &nbsp;<a href="https://architectevangelist.wordpress.com/2011/02/20/hyper-v-virtual-machines-security-group-issue/" rel="ugc">I ran the script provided on this page, and it added the correct permissions.</a>

Hello all:

I am trying to do a live export of my virtual machines as an additional backup.  I have 4 Hyper-v hosts all running Windows Server 2012 R2.  On 3 of the 4 servers, all of the machines export perfectly.  On the 4th however, only 5 of the 11 VMs will export live.  I get a "General Access Denied Error"    A screenshot of the Error is attached.

Live hyper-v export

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.

Hyper-V

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

Microsoft server applications are those applications developed specifically, but not necessarily exclusively, on the Windows Server platform. In addition to well-known products like SQL Server, Exchange, Internet Information Services (IIS), Microsoft Dynamics, Forefront, Lync and Sharepoint, they include applications like Skype, BizTalk, Hyper-V, Groove and Commerce Server. Server applications are managed with the Microsoft System Center.
