Real Time Anti-Virus on Hyper V server

I found a lot of people facing problem with hyper V servers and getting those errors.

Hyper-V-VMMS 18160
Hyper-V-Worker 12030,12010

These events indicate that the Virtual machine couldn’t start due to  another process is accessing the same file.

Actually this error mostly due to running anti-virus application
on the Hyper-V server as it interrupters the VM process.

As running anti-virus application is an essential thing, you must consider exclude those folders on your Hyper-V server

· Default VM Config Directory

[C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Hyper-V]

· Default VM VHD Directory

[C:\Users\Public\Documents\Hyper-V\Virtual Hard Disks]

· Custom VHD Directory

[The directory that you store the VHD file]

· Snapshot Directory

[C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Hyper-V\Snapshots]

· The follow three processes for Hyper-V

1. Vmms.exe

2. Vmwp.exe

3.    VMSWP.exe
