I have a question that seems really basic but I have not found an answer yet.

I have a brand new HP DL380 server. I installed the stand-alone version of
Hyper-V Server, added it to the domain, assigned IP address, etc. I then
installed the Hyper-V management console on a new Vista SP1 workstation. I
am able to connect to the Hyper-V server and create new VM's with no problem.

Here's the problem. I don't know how to copy an existing VHD file onto the
Hyper-V server! I downloaded the eval .VHD of Virtual Machine Manager from
Microsoft onto the Vista management PC. Since Windows Server is not running
on the Hyper-V machine, I can't map a drive or otherwise copy the file.
Remote Desktop to the Hyper-V server also doesn't allow me to copy the file.
The import routine in the Hyper-V management console will only look at the
local drives on the server and will not pick up a file from the Vista machine.

As an attempted work-around, I created a new VM and tried to create a new
VHD using a Windows Server 2008.iso file. However, when I drill down to the
share on the Vista machine where the .iso file is located, I get a 'general
access denied' error even though I have set every permission in the book.

I'm at a loss. Can anyone tell me what I'm missing?
Thanks,
Joe
