Overview
Sometimes when copying and importing a VM you get an error that looks something like this:
- Virtual Machine failed to start
- General access denied error’ (0x80070005)
This is typically a permissions issue. The Virtual Machine account doesn't have permissions to access the Virtual Hard Disk (VHD/VHDX) or Snapshot (.AVHD)
Solution
- Obtain the Virtual Machine ID. This can be found by copying the filename of the .vmcx file (and omitting the file extension)
- Run the following command:
icacls "E:\VMs\VMName\Disk0.vhd" /grant "NT VIRTUAL MACHINE\5FC5C385-BD98-451F-B3F3-1E50E06EE663":(F)
NOTE: Substitute the file path and the Virtual ID
