Copy between host and guest

I'm a student at a Uni and I'm currently learning the basics about Windows Server Domain Controllers.

One of the assignments required us to use a excel spreadsheet file to setup users in the domain, I tried copying this file from my host to the virtual machine but I couldn't do this(I also tried drag and drop).

Additionally I can't copy text trough the clipboard in and out of the VM. (the only options that work are the ones from the clipboard menu item; type clipboard text and capture screen)
My teacher told me this should be possible by enabling the integration services, but I had already done so.


Both the VM and the host system run on Windows Server 2012 R2 with the latest updates.
My teacher didn't know why I couldn't do this since according to him it should be possible with Hyper-V on server 2012 R2.

I should mention that I was connected trough remote desktop with the host system(which is a server at OVH), I was able to copy and paste trough the RDP session between my client and the host, but not to the VM's.

I believe the virtual machine connection also uses the RDP protcol, so I'd like to know if its possible to connect to the virtual machine directly trough RDP (without having the virtual machine attached to the internet)

3.

I saw that there are some settings in the device manager for the network adapter, but I couldn't find out what forwarding optimization is supposed to do and I was also wondering if this setting can be configured on a Linux virtual machine (and if there are any other network optimization settings for Linux, which I can configure)
