AppStack + Windows 10 + VHD

BungeBash — Tue, 26 Jan 2016 21:12:01 GMT

Trying out AppStacks, and we deploy with VHD. The VHD for AppStacks do not seem to attach in the Operating system. I can manually mount the VHD and the provisioning process starts and the Pop-ups appear.

Once finalized and assigned to a user the same issue occurs. App Volume Manager says the AppStack is attached, but it is not attached in the OS until I manually do so.

Looking at the System messages I'm getting:

Jan 26 2016 03:04PM	Unable to attach "\\server\vols\cloudvolumes\apps\office365.vhd" (Access is denied. (error: 5)
Jan 26 2016 03:02PM	Unable to attach "\\server\vols\cloudvolumes\apps\office365.vhd" (Access is denied. (error: 5)
Jan 26 2016 02:58PM	Unable to attach "\\server\vols\cloudvolumes\apps\office365.vhd" (Access is denied. (error: 5)
Jan 26 2016 02:35PM	Unable to attach "\\server\vols\cloudvolumes\apps\office365.vhd" (Access is denied. (error: 5)

Here's the registry from my machine. Not sure why it's showing Hypervisor as vcenter if the app volume manager defines as VHD.

Running App Volumes 2.10 agent and server.

Are you sure you have the permissions on the share set up correctly? see: Configure VHD In-Guest Storage

My thought also.. Looking at the second screenshot everything seeems to be quite allright (other then suggesting using port 443 for traffic between agent and manager ).

I'll double check that specific folder. I will say the writable volumes mount just fine. I've tested appstacks with and without writable volumes and was getting the same result.

Boom! I meant to post earlier! Thank you this was the issue. Writables when dynamic don't need "domain computers" read access. AppStacks are treated differently and do. Now my office 365 is up and running!!
