Access to path is denied

AdmLAS Sep 24, 2018 9:07 AM

Hello all,

Since we have upgrade in 6.5 version we haven't the possibility to export a VM at OVA format with the web client or any GUI client.

It seem-s to be possible with the PowerCli like this :

Get-VM <VMName> | Export-vApp -Destination "D:\" -Format OVA

But when i execute the command the error "Access to the path "d:\" is denied"

Have you an idea this issue ?

Thx

Could it be that you do not have the right to create a file in the root of the drive?
Can you try with a folder on the drive?

What I meant was, can you create a file in the root of that drive (D:\).
As an alternative you could try with a folder (D:\OVA)

I had this same problem and had to go through extraordinary pain to move the source files. Is a fix coming soon?

I've seen this too, but I think its more of a powershell vs powercli issue. I have full admin rights on my machine, I have full access to the C:\ root, and I see this message. I just create a sub folder with full access at it seems to work.
