Hi I have a strange error which I could do with some input on and wondered if anyone knew of this.
I have a HyperV 2012 R2 Server with an Guest VM running Windows 2003. Whenever I try to backup this VM I am seeing the following event in my Hyper V Server

Other VMs are fine. I have migrated the VM to another server - and get the same issue on that server.
The server works fine and starts up. I have seen other reports mentioning check the permissions on the file/folder to make sure the Machine ID has permissions - it does. I have changed the status of the Fsdepends registry key as i've also seen - makes no difference. I just cannot get rid of this error. I have opened the machine config XML file and there is no mention of it there.
My last resort is to create a new VM and use the same disks.
The only difference between this and other VMs on that server is that this is an old Legacy 2003 box.
I am stumped any ideas? Thanks in advance
