    Hello,

        When I try to export a virtual machine using the Hyper-V Manager I get a popup erro telling me:

    "An error occured while attempting to export the virtual machine"
    "'machinename' Failed to export"
    "'machinename' Failed to export. ( Virtual machine ID ..........................)

        I noticed that it also happens the same if I only try to export the configuration.

        Thanks.

    Two rules for exporting -
    The VM must be off (or you must be exporting a snapshot that is not the current running "now")
    You must export to local storage (not a mappend drive, not a network location in any way)

    Are you following these two rules and still getting the error?
    (Additional information about your situation / scenario is always welcome)
