Windows 10: How to access FTP and RDP on guest VM from host VM using Windows 10 Pro?

We have a Windows 10 Pro system and have enabled HyperV on it. We then created a Windows 10 Pro guest VM. What we would like to do is to RDP to the guest VM from the host and also be able to use FTP to the guest VM to download files from the guest to the host. We have setup the FTP and the Remote Desktop services on the guest VM Microsoft built-in products - no third party. How do we setup the host so we can login to the guest via RDP or FTP files from the guest to the host? We found this very old article - https://www.andrewconnell.com/blog/allowing-a-host-machine-to

Account failed logon 4625 on VM guest when clicking the entry of VM guest on failover cluster Manager on VM Host

Issue:

We found a multiple failed logon events on VM guest (evert ID 4625) with account (the account you logon on VM host) when we clicking the entry of VM guest on failover cluster manager console on VM host with Integration servers (Data Exchange) is enabled.



How to reproduce:

1. Check the “Data Exchange” is enabled on a VM guest (Enabled by default, right?)
2. Open Failover Cluster Manager Console on VM host.
3. Click the VM guest entry
4. Then you may found multiple failed logon events on that VM guest.

Reference:

Hyper-V Integration Services



Question:

1. Does the multiple failed logons are normal or necessary?
2. If the failed logons are normal and necessary to be happened and the “Data exchange” function is good to be enabled to gather data from VM guest, any recommendation for us to correct or avoid these failed logon?

Please advise.



Constrain:

We have no chance to use same account and password on VM hosts and VM guests (because all account are managed by password management) and the Audit Policy of Audit Credential Validation must be enabled.

 

Licensing Legacy Windows Products on a VM Server

Hello,

Can someone from Microsoft confirm what licenses would be needed to fit the following use case:

• Need to license legacy as well as current Windows products (XP, 7, 10)
  
• The VMs will only have one user account that gets used, but would be utilized by multiple developers in our org
  
• The VMs would be hosted on a physical server and would be accessed through RDP
  

 

Windows 10 licence when used as VM

Hi, I'm Elise, an independent advisor and I'd be happy to help with your issue.

There is absolutely nothing stopping you using separate Windows 10 Pro licenses on a hypervisor as guest OS on separate VM, that is perfectly acceptable. You can also access these via the hypervisor or RDP, same goes via RDP. The only mirror downside is that
only one user would be able to connect to one VM at a time.

Please let me know if you need any further assistance.

Kind Regards,

Elise
