I want to copy files from VM to another. I'm running windows 2008 on the VM Manager. Both machines are Server 2012. I tuned them both off. Mounted the VHDs to the manger pc. I can see the both files and folders, but cannot copy.

I want to move files from Windows/WinSxS to the other machine Winsxs.

robocopy I:\Windows\WinSxs K:\Windows\WinSxs

After that it loops on access denied, waiting 30 seconds.

Why am I getting access denied. I'm using a domain admin account and administrator power shell.

  • Why are you copying stuff from WinSXS?

  • Now that is quite the story. in a nutshell, I'm attempting to get my fully updated server core to install the gui. The fact that it is updated seems to be the root issue.

You have to give permission to this folder and the sub-folders to copy files from this folder. If the destination folder is also a machines working folder then you have to give permission to that folder too.
