Hyper-V virtual machines have a unique Virtual Machine ID (SID). If the Virtual Machine
SID is missing from the security
permissions on the .vhd or .avhd file, the virtual machine does not start, and you receive the

I noticed that the virtual machine folder was created, but only contains an empty Virtual
Machines sub folder.Right click this folder, and
go to the Properties -> Security, select Virtual Machines user group, then click Edit

Done.
This solution is far from perfect, but hopefully is good enough in most of cases.
Solution 2:
To resolve this issue, add the Virtual Machine SID to the virtual hard disk (.vhd) file or to the
snapshot file (.avhd).
To add the Virtual Machine SID to a .vhd or .avhd file, follow these steps:
Note the Virtual Machine ID that is listed in the General access denied error
(0x80070005) error message.
1.
7/19
10/20/2014
2.
For example, consider the following error message:
VMName: IDE/ATAPI Account does not have sufficient privilege to open attachment
Machine ID 5FC5C385-BD98-451F-B3F3-1E50E06EE663)
In this example, the Virtual Machine ID is 5FC5C385-BD98-451F-B3F3-1E50E06EE663.
3.
4.
Open an elevated command prompt.
To give the Virtual Machine ID (SID) access to the .vhd or .avhd file, type the following
command, and then press ENTER:
icacls <Path of .vhd or .avhd file> /grant NT VIRTUAL MACHINE\<Virtual Machine ID from
step 1>:
6. For example, to use the Virtual Machine ID that was noted in step 1, type the following
command, and then press ENTER:
5.
icacls E:\VMs\VMName\Disk0.vhd /grant NT VIRTUAL MACHINE\5FC5C385-BD98-451FB3F3-1E50E06EE663:F

7.
Start the virtual machine.
If permissions are incorrect on the Hyper-V virtual machine configuration file (.xml file), the
virtual machine will fail to start with the
following error:
Unnamed VM failed to initialize.An attempt to read or update the virtual machine
configuration failed because access was denied.
If you click See details, the following error is listed:
Unnamed VM failed to initialize. (Virtual machine 7E77503A-A26B-4BB5-9846396F49A30141)Unnamed VM failed to read or update
the virtual machine configuration because access was denied: General access denied error

the folder in which the virtual machine is stored. (Virtual machine 7E77503A-A26B-4BB5-9846396F49A30141)
To resolve this issue, perform the steps in the Resolution section to add the Virtual Machine
SID to the .xml file.
Example command to add the Virtual Machine SID to the .xml file:
icacls E:\VMs\VMName\7E77503A-A26B-4BB5-9846-396F49A30141.xml /grant

How to recover Hyper-V Virtual Machine manually..
One of these days I was testing one of my Hyper-Vs and because of a mistake of mine I
removed all the VM associations to Hyper-V
mmc console and SCVMM
Now what!!!! I knew that the supported way to add those machines back to the Hyper-V and
SCVMM was through backup/Restore or
I could import them using an previous export, but those machines were new VMs created
only for the test propose, I had no backup
or export of them.
How to import them back? Ok, no panic, first thing to check is the files, are the VM files still in
place? Yes!!! Ok, that means not all is lost
Note: The GUIDs mentioned here belong to my virtual machine, in your network the GUIDs will
differ.
How to recover Hyper-V Virtual Machine manually.
1 Option:
Easy enough, you create a new VM choose the option attach a virtual hard disk latter or Use
an existing virtual hard disk and
then map the VM to the disk used before by the other missing VM, of course, you can copy
the disk to the new VM folder to keep
all files together.
Nah.. I need the VM configuration, those configurations were critical to my tests and I dont
have the configuration paper with me. Lets try Option 2
**************************************************************
2 Option:
First go to the missing VM folder\virtual Machines\ and take note
9/19
10/20/2014
of the file {GUID}.xml (In this scenario is the 71DB1869-534A-4B0B-B2B8-B89170FC0EF0.xml).
Now open the Hyper-V mmc and create a new VM with the same name, and point the new VM
to the same drive/folder where
the missing VM is at.
Choose the option attach a virtual hard disk latter and do a next, next, thing until you finish
the VM creation process.
10/19
10/20/2014
Now go to the VM folder and under Virtual Machines folder you have 2 GUIds.xml, the
original 71DB1869-534A-4B0B-B2B8-B89170FC0EF0.xml (that you take note in the first step)
and the new (in this scenario)
E5D8FBFC-4E01-4D48-AE95-1CF1630E2C24.xml that refers to the new VM (Note: The GUIDs
that you have, will differ from these).
The next step is to copy everything that is inside of the old 71DB1869-534A-4B0B-B2B8B89170FC0EF0.xml to the
new E5D8FBFC-4E01-4D48-AE95-1CF1630E2C24.xml, yes, everything Basically youre
replacing the contents of the
new {GUID}.xml with data from the old one. Save the file with the same name in the same
place replacing the existing one.
11/19
10/20/2014
Next step, open the E5D8FBFC-4E01-4D48-AE95-1CF1630E2C24.xml, and the replace

everything that has
the 71DB1869-534A-4B0B-B2B8-B89170FC0EF0 with E5D8FBFC-4E01-4D48-AE951CF1630E2C24. Save the
file replacing the existing one.
Next step, copy the files that are inside the F:\VM01\Virtual Machines\71DB1869-534A-4B0BB2B8-B89170FC0EF0
to F:\VM01\Virtual Machines\E5D8FBFC-4E01-4D48-AE95-1CF1630E2C24, you must also
12/19
10/20/2014
rename the files (.bin and .vsv)

that are inside that folder to match the new GUID.
If you have snapshots, then you also need to rename some files and folders inside Snapshots
folder. Open VM01\Snapshots
folder. Rename the folder VM01\Snapshots \71DB1869-534A-4B0B-B2B8-B89170FC0EF0 to
VM01\Snapshots\E5D8FBFC-4E01-4D48-AE95-1CF1630E2C24. Then open the
VM01\Snapshots\{GUIDofTheSnapshot}
and rename the files inside that folder (.bin and .vsv) to match the GUID of the new VM (If you
have multiple snapshots, you have
to repeat the same process to each one).
Now, open VM01\Snapshots\{GUIDofTheSnapshot}.xml and replace the values
with 71DB1869-534A-4B0B-B2B8-B89170FC0EF0 with the new VM GUID E5D8FBFC-4E014D48-AE95-1CF1630E2C24.
(If you have multiple snapshots, you have to repeat the same process to each one).
Now is time to allow access to the Service SID access to all files in VM01, from
cmdline type:Icacls F:\VM01\ /T /grant NT VIRTUAL MACHINE\E5D8FBFC-4E01-4D48-AE951CF1630E2C24:(F)
The last step is to manually create a symbolic link and grant the proper permissions to each
individual snapshot that has a {GUID}.
13/19
10/20/2014
xml inside the VM01\snapshots folder (in this case therere 2 snapshots)
.Mklink C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Hyper-V\Snapshots\324E6E76-77EC-46719E25-3D4B5D3133BA.xml
F:\VM01\Snapshots\324E6E76-77EC-4671-9E25-3D4B5D3133BA.xml
Mklink C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Hyper-V\Snapshots\D6EC4773-75A6-49E784D2-3B619D1D450C.xml F:\VM01\Snapshots\D6EC4773-75A6-49E7-84D23B619D1D450C.xml
Now give access permissions to the new VM Service SID access.

Icacls C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Hyper-V\Snapshots\324E6E76-77EC-46719E25-3D4B5D3133BA.xml /grant NT VIRTUAL MACHINE\E5D8FBFC-4E01-4D48-AE951CF1630E2C24:(F) /L
Icacls C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Hyper-V\Snapshots\D6EC4773-75A6-49E784D2-3B619D1D450C.xml /grant NT VIRTUAL MACHINE\E5D8FBFC-4E01-4D48-AE951CF1630E2C24:(F) /L
Go to the settings of the VM01 and assign the proper Network switch.
Start VM01 and youre DONE!!!!
Are you NUTS!!!! Thats too much work for a VM recovery!!!! And if I had 20 VMs to recover, that
process will take the entire month
**************************************************************
Option3:
This method is simpler, well re-assign the missing Symbolic links and give permissions to the
Service SID.Using Mklink,
create the Symbolic link under C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Hyper-V\Virtual
Machines
Mklink C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Hyper-V\Virtual Machines\71DB1869-534A4B0B-B2B8-B89170FC0EF0.xml
F:\VM01\Virtual Machines\71DB1869-534A-4B0B-B2B8-B89170FC0EF0.xml
Now give access permissions to the service SID to this Symbolic link.
Icacls C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Hyper-V\Virtual Machines\71DB1869-534A4B0B-B2B8-B89170FC0EF0.xml/grant NT VIRTUAL MACHINE\71DB1869-534A-4B0B-B2B8B89170FC0EF0:(F) /L
14/19
10/20/2014
Then you need to give access permissions to the Service SID to all files in VM01Icacls F:\VM01\
/T /grant NT VIRTUAL MACHINE\71DB1869-534A-4B0B-B2B8-B89170FC0EF0:(F)Since
VM01 has also Snapshots,
we need to create the correspondent symbolic link and give the necessary permissions to the
files
(This process must be done to each snapshot).Mklink
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Hyper-V\Snapshots\324E6E76-77EC-4671-9E253D4B5D3133BA.xml
F:\VM01\Snapshots\71DB1869-534A-4B0B-B2B8-B89170FC0EF0.xml
Mklink C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Hyper-V\Snapshots\D6EC4773-75A6-49E784D2-3B619D1D450C.xml
F:\VM01\Snapshots\71DB1869-534A-4B0B-B2B8-B89170FC0EF0.xml
Now, assign the permissions:
Icacls C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Hyper-V\Snapshots\324E6E76-77EC-46719E25-3D4B5D3133BA.xml /grant NT VIRTUAL MACHINE\71DB1869-534A-4B0B-B2B8B89170FC0EF0:(F) /L
Icacls C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Hyper-V\Snapshots\D6EC4773-75A6-49E784D2-3B619D1D450C.xml /grant NT VIRTUAL MACHINE\71DB1869-534A-4B0B-B2B8B89170FC0EF0:(F) /L
Go to the settings of the VM01 and assign the proper Network switch.
Start VM01 and youre DONE!!!!
