To avoid this issue, ensure that both the Hyper-V server and the network server are members of the same domain. The network share requires read access for ISOs and read\/write access for VHDs for both the user and computer account of the server running Hyper-V. If you are attempting this from a third computer (not utilizing the user interface on the server running Hyper-V), constrained delegation for Server Message Block (SMB) between the server running Hyper-V and the network file server must be enabled&quot;.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just saw this link on the Virtual PC Guy blog on how to use a Windows Server 2008 file server to store the VHD&#8217;s of your file server.\u00a0 Crazy but true!
