      Hi,

      I have problem when I use an iso file for virtual dvd drive (Share instead of copying" is selected). I can use this iso file only for 1 virtual machine at the same time. I tried to configure 2 VMs with the same iso file and everytime one of them cannot load this iso. Of course - I have set up constraint delegations in AD...
      Pls - any idea? Or is this a known behaviour state?

      Thanks

      I don't know if you can do it with SCVMM but I did some powershell work for you.


      $all = Get-VM *
foreach ($i in $all)
{
$iso = $i | Get-VirtualDVDDrive | Select-Object ISO
if ($iso -like "*test*")
{
write-host VM: $i
}
}

      If your ISO name is debian.iso, just replace "test" with "debian".

      Also if you use just "Get-ISO", you can see all iso images on all virtual machines.

      Thanks for Shay Levy to help me to improve :)

      Best way to see that iso image, use:
      Get-VirtualDVDDrive -ALL | Where { $_.ISO -like "*test*" }

      If you need to use virtual machine name in a script:
      $VMName = (Get-VirtualDVDDrive -ALL | Where { $_.ISO -like "*test*" }).Name

      You can't use your ISO file with sharing option on different vms at same time.

      Please look here for more information about Shared ISO feature:

      Ok. But I have 200 virtual machines and I want to create a new one and use iso for virtual dvd rom. It is not working because I already use it for another server. How can I find from which one I should disconnect this iso?
