Thanks for posting this Ken - I just wanted to point out that the location for the symlinks is now: %systemdrive%\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Hyper-V\Virtual Machines. Logically, is this any different to the Hyper-V Manager export operation?

How does that work now with RC1? I see no symbolic links anywhere.

This works for RC1, the new location for RC1 is: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Hyper-V\Virtual Machines

The moving of the files is fine. But the VM fails to start. It seems that we require additional security settings on the new VM folder. Has anyone experienced this problem? There is a special user called Virtual Machines (SID S-1-5-83-0) which needs to be in the security settings for the folder.

Had the same problem with the security settings and the "SID-user". Although you cannot start the VM, you can export it. After exporting you can import the the VM. A new "SID-user" is then made and the VM will start.

I was able to follow the steps and then ran an export with success. I had to do this due to the original hyper-v server failing before I could export the last machine. The state of the imported machine (and the machine that I "imported" with the steps above) was that which reflected the state of the last applied snapshot in the original hyper-v server. Now, before I created my symbolic link, I went through the virtual machine config file and all of the snapshot xml files updating any links to the proper directory. In the snapshot preview window both machines (and when I say the both I mean the duplicated folder of the original machine which I performed the steps above on as well as the machine that was exported then imported from that machine) displayed that they had no snapshots. The snapshots carried over with the export but they don't display. I noticed in my ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Hyper-V\Snapshots directory there are snapshot.xml links. Do I need to create a link for each snapshot for it to showup?

What about moving just the virtual disk? I put it in the wrong place when I initially did the setup. It now contains gigs of data, but it's filling up the disk where it lives. I have plenty of disk space elsewhere, so I just want to move the .vhd, but there's a warning since I've taken snapshots. I thought that was a good thing. Help?

Hi Charles,

I believe you can just edit the XML configuration file to point the VM to an alternate location for it's disk.
