When using the System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) 2008 R2 console to share an ISO file, the following error may occur:
Error (12700)
VMM cannot complete the Hyper-V operation on the %ServerName; server because of the error: User Account does not have sufficient privilege to open attachment (path to ISO file)
Error: 'General access denied error' (0x80070005).
(Unknown error (0x8001))
Recommended Action
Resolve the issue in Hyper-V and then try the operation again.
This issue may occur if the Hyper-V host was unable to read the attributes associated with the SCVMM service account in Active Directory.
