Hyper-V share a folder between host and instance
- by Fly_Trap
I have a hyper-v server and several VM's (Virtual Machines). All the VM's are connected to an external network.
I have tried to share a folder on the host and connect via the VM, I can do this but I'm prompted for a user name and password (as you would expect). I do not want to enable the "Everyone" group permissions as the physical host server is on a network of other servers.
I have created a new virtual internal network in Hyper-V and given it's adapter a static ip of 33.0.0.100. I have added the virtual adapter to one of the VM's and set to IP to 33.0.0.2 (as advised here). Again this seems to work but I'm still prompted for a user name and password.
Am I on the right lines here? I just want to share a directory from the host to the vm's without exposing the share to other servers on the network.
