I have a Windows Server 2012 and some virtual machines in it. Since last week some error events appears hourly on event viewer saying that the system cannot find a remote VHD file. This VHD file is not available anymore but no one of my virtual machines uses that file anymore.
Do you have any tip of what is trying to access this file and generating this error message?
