    Hi there!

    Ive setup small lab with domain controller and two hosts with Hyper-V role. OS - Win2012. Hosts are member of domain.

    During installation i`ve enabled live migration with CredSSP. Now im trying to migrate VM to another host but couldnt select target folder. Select window shows the message: "No items match your search".

    Any ideas how to fix it?

    Hi,

    Remote File Browsing is a shell namespace extension implemented by Hyper-V, it provides a way to browse the folders/files on remove Hyper-V server without requiring server to open extra shell over the network.

    Please check whether your user account and the Hyper-V host computer account has access permission on the remote folder.

    You use Remote File Browser to specify a Virtual Machine location, make sure there are VMs in the “Remote File Browser\SRV” location; it no VMs exist in the folder, navigate to other location and check the result.

    For more information please refer to following MS articles:

    Both Hyper-V are have identical settings. VMs Location is C:\VMs with default NTFS Permissions. User and Hyper-V computers accounts added to local Administrators group on both servers.

    Success audit is enabled by Domain Policy. But i can override it. Should i leave audit disabled for a while? Or just apply new pollicy and delete it immediately?

    Do i need toogle only success settings or both (success and failure)?
