    How can Hyper-V VM access shared Host PC drive/folder?


    I have just installed Hyper-V and Windows 10 on both Host & VM, and set up a wifi virtual switch so the VM can connect to the internet. Fine. But the Network icon in the Folders only shows its own desktop and "tsclient" but not the host PC. How do I get the VM to see the shared folders on the Host?

    TIA

    Secure file share with between host and hyper-v guest

    I have a windows 10 host running hyper-v. I want to share the files that are on the host securely with a hyper-v vm without having to copy the files, i.e. the file share is on the host not the guest.

    Current method is to set up a file share on the host and disable authentication for ALL file shares, this is so that I do not need to store the host account
    credential on the VM which would be a risk. I then set up a internal virtual switch in hyper-v and disable files sharing protocal on ALL other network interfaces on the host. I not sure this is secure but its defiantly not very elegant for such a seeming
    simple problem.

    I can see it causeing problems in the future when we need another files share on the host for a differnet reason.

    Is there a simpler, less invasive way to do this?

    Remote Desktop Connection problem with Virtual Machine

    We made the big mistake of configuring a WINDOWS-10 VM to allow for Remote Desktop Connections. We are unable to disassociate the VM from RDM. We can no longer access the VM!!! The following is the pertinenet
    information:

    • Server is running Windows-10 Professional 64 with Hyper-V installed.
    • VM is Windows-10 Professional 64.
    • In VM allowed Remote Desktop Connections.
    • From server successfully connected to VM via RDM.
    • Closed RDM connection. Unable to access VM.
    • Turned off VM from Hyper-V Manager.
    • Attempted to restart VM, unable to connect via Hyper-V from message box the following is displayed:

      Video Remoting was disconnected. The virtual maching is currently using the Remote X 3D video adapter. A user is currently connected via Remote Desktop Connect to the virtual machine by using Remote Desktop Connection.
    • Connected via Remote Desktop Connection. Attempted to turn off allowing Remote Desktop Connection. VM hung.
    • VM Wouldn't turn off via Hyper-V manager.
    • Shutdown host system and rebooted.
    • Unable to connect via console or RDM.
    • Shutdown host system and rebooted.
    • Deleted VM via Hyper-V Manager.
    • Restored VM system disk from backup prior to RDM usage.
    • Created new VM. the messages in itm 7 above are displayed.
    What can be done to recover? Why does Hyper-V retain a broken connection?

    How can Hyper-V VM access shared Host PC drive/folder?

    Hi there

    AFAIK you'd either have to do it via Networking or probably easier via RDP - in the RDP console settings enable Local resources --that will enable you to read HDD's from local machine on the VM.

    Networking should work too --the VM is technically a separate machine --enable sharing / network discovery on the VM (and the Host of course).

    Cheers

    Takk, Jimbo45!
    I had network discovery on the VM, when I enabled file sharing the network appeared.
    I don't know about RDP but if networking works, I'm happy How can Hyper-V VM access shared Host PC drive/folder? :)

    Best
