  • You log on the Hyper-V host by using a domain admin account and move this VM to another SMB share in a Hyper-V management console.
  • You log off the Hyper-V host.
In this scenario, the Kerberos ticket expires. Therefore, the connection between the VM and the SMB share is lost and the VM goes offline.
