I am attempting to add a SAN volume to a VM as a Physical hard disk.
The VM already has a different SAN volume added to it.
The desired volume is listed in the drop-down list; however, when attempting to add the hard drive, I receive the following error:
Error applying Hard Drive changes
Failed to add device 'Physical Disk Drive'.
The volume is offline as indicated in the information note.
Not quite sure what I'm doing wrong. Appreciate any assistance.
While researching the problem, I came across this page (https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/312cffad-b601-40be-a34b-073ee515cfd4/having-the-error-0x80070569-when-adding-new-vm-on-hyper-v).
I figured it couldn't hurt so I ran a "gpupdate /force" and it worked.
I was able to return to my starting position and even complete the original goal of adding more storage.
Hope this helps if anyone encounters a similar problem in the future.

Hi @Brandon Williams ,
Please add another IDE or SCSI controller and see if the physical disk can be added under this new controller.
You can also try to remove and re-add the DVD drive according to the same issue through here

I removed the DVD Drive; however, it will not let me add it back on. I receive:
Error applying DVD Drive Changes
Failed to add device 'Virtual CD/DVD Disk'.
I tried to add another SCSI Controller using the instructions here: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1037094
When trying to change the node it errored out (I didn't get a screenshot) and automatically removed the VHD so I'm actually in a worse position that I was before.
I thought maybe it was a permissions issue, but the Domain Admins group is part of the local Administrators group, and my account is a member of Domain Admins so I should have permissions.
I also tried to create a new VM by re-using the VHD (which is now removed); however, I received the following error when trying that:
The server encountered an error while creating [hostname].
The operation failed.
An unexpected error occurred: Logon failure: the user had not been granted the requested logon type at this computer. (0x80070569).
The operation failed.
The Hyper-V Virtual Machine Management service encountered an unexpected error: Logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer. (0x080070569).
