| | Hyper-V snapshot problem When I view the VM in the Hyper-V manager, it says I have no snapshots When I choose 'settings' on the VM, it says I can't make changes because there are snapshots active. And looking at the raw disks I see lots of snapshot files. How can I make Hyper-V 'see' the snapshots that are clearly there? B |

| | Re: Hyper-V snapshot problem If the snaps were taken from the previous setup, you would need to export and re-import the VM to get the snaps registered properly (as I understand things).

| | Re: Hyper-V snapshot problem there were no snaps on the previous setup, it wasn't even hyper-v I am hoping when I power down the VM it will merge everything Thanks for your insight Blake "Ryan Sokolowski [MVP]" <ryan@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:eqNJSaYVJHA.5452@xxxxxx Quote: > If the snaps were taken from the previous setup, you would need to export > and re-import the VM to get the snaps registered properly (as I understand > things). > > Hope this helps, > --Ryan > > Ryan Sokolowski > MVP - Clustering > MCT, MCITP x3, MCTS x7, MCSE x2, CCNA, CCDA, BCFP > > > "Blake" <blake.duffey@xxxxxx> wrote in message > news:OeeF1IYVJHA.4928@xxxxxx Quote: >> Um, maybe?
