hi,

if change default setting “create symbolic link” on hyper-v server can error.  this due virtual machines needing right in order link vha storage areas.  by default, when install hyper-v role, special group called "virtual machines" created , given “create symbolic link” right.  if change right gpo, not able create virtual machines , above error.  this group contains virtual machine service sids.

look here more info; http://www.virtualizationadmin.com/articles-tutorials/microsoft-hyper-v-articles/storage-management/hyper-v-file-storage-permissions.html
