  1. This error could also happen even you are not trying to export the file to network shared folder!!!
    It can also happen if you rename the VM after installation, for example :(WINSERV1) to (WINSERV2) in this case if you try export the VM you get the same error.
    So you have to make sure that name of the server that you wont to exported have the same default name when the VM is created . or rename (.vhd) file to the new name. the 1st solution is better.

  2. I have the same problem , but the fix was so simple, do the following
    1- Computer Management
    2- Right click on the drive where the VMs located, and select properties
    3- Tools , and click on Check Now
    4- Select both options "Automatically Fix file system errors" and "Scan for and attempt recovery for bad sectors"

  3. No matter what i do it always says that, i can only export locally. permissions are good both machines have full permissions to source and destination folder so i really don't understand it. extremely frustrating!!

  4. I had the same problem. However I had my VM and VM hard disk stored in different locations. I fixed the export issue by moving the VM and VM hard drive into the same folder.
