Migrating from VMware to Hyper-V; Problems with Hyper-V

Hello,

I am Running the 64-Bit Version of Windows 8.1 Pro and i am now Virtualizing a Windows Server 2008 R2. It in itself is not Causing an Issue.
(I know 2008 R2 and 2008 are EOL)
I am Running 8.1 in a Windows Server 2003 Domain, since i do not need it to be higher. I have 1 Running Windows Server 2012 R2 and 2 Windows Server 2008 R2.
I had VMware Workstation Pro and then just exported these Machines as VHD. I created new Hyper-V Machines. Then i got this:

Basically it is a "Cannot Change Machine State" Error with the Error Code 3080 and 3040.
i checked the Permissions and get more Issues Later Down the Road. The Issue is that it cannot Verify a Connection to the Domain, so it just does not wanna work with
Powershell or CMD.

Can anyone Please Help me, we have no Email otherwise!

Thank you,

    Hello MaximilianSchfer

    Usually this is caused by a lack of NTFS permissions on the Virtual Machine folder. For this you can compare the permissions with a machine that is working correctly

    PS C:\>$acl = Get-Acl -Path "D:\VirtualMachines\<Good machine folder>"
    PS C:\>$acl.access > C:\goodVM.txt
    PS C:\>$acl = Get-Acl -Path "D:\VirtualMachines\<problematic machine here>"
    PS C:\>$acl.access > C:\ProblemVM.txt
    PS C:\>Compare-object -referenceobject $(get-content C:\goodVM.txt) -differenceobject $(get-content C:\ProblemVM.txt)

    The result will tell you the difference in permissions and you will just need to set the missing ones in the NTFS permission of the folder.

    We don't know what the dialog says. Might try some other method of conversion.

    i know, didn't respond but, this seems to have done it. It also was the Issue that the Config File was in a Different Location then the VM! But this is a Hyper-V 2012 R2 issue only i think. Maybe a last Hotfix will come out or something.. Thanks!
