Windows 10 Hyper-V: Export VM to Network Share (either NAS or Windows Share)

0

Is there any known method by which a Windows 10 Pro (Non-Server) user can use Hyper-V's "Export VM" functionalities to export a virtual machine to a network share?

In my case, "a network share" means either another Windows computer on the network, or my Samba-3.0-compatible consumer NAS. I would like to directly export from Hyper-V a virtual machine to one of these network locations, for disk space reasons.

However, I have learned (hopefully correctly) that permissions are very tricky for Hyper-V, because the actions Hyper-V performs during export are from the "SYSTEM" account, rather than a user account. I guess as a result, the receiving location (the NAS or the other computer) must have certain kinds of permissions set up, but after days of trying I have not found a successful procedure.

Some examples of troubles I have encountered, I have seen the following errors:

  • "Failed to copy file from ...", General access denied error (0x80070005) [occurs when I try to export to a windows share, even when permissions for receiving path are set to "Everyone has Full Control"]

  • "Exporting virtual machine...failed", The specified server cannot perform the requested operation (0x8007003A) [occurs when I try to export to the NAS. Occurs whether or not unauthenticated guests have read/write/execute access to the receiving path]

Some questions:

  • Is Hyper-V-exporting VMs to network (Samba) shares supported in Windows 10 Pro?
  • Is it supported in Windows Server?
  • For consumer NAS SMB3.0 devices also? Or just Windows shares?
  • Any known method to get this to work?
