Hello , i have noticed failed login attempts on our Hyper-V host from the SBS guest. The Hyper-V is in a work-group where as the SBS 2011 is the DC for the network. I have found that every minute there would be a failed login attempt made from the SBS to the Host.
I have attempted to troubleshoot this issue by tracking down Process ID's and ports disclosed in the event logs. I found that the logins are over microsoft-ds Protocol on port 445. The process executing these logins is a system process so my guess a service is attempting to access something on the HV without the correct credentials but I am finding it difficult to determine what. Please could anyone shed some light on my issue.
