Hi,

I'm facing this issue

Each night a powershell script duplicates a production VDI (only one VM)
Launched manually from a distant remote desktop over a vpn acces to our local network.
(never been able to use the win scheduled tasks...)

This script does the following (administrator session on the win server 2012):

Code: Select all

      VBoxManage controlvm "name-of-vm" acpipowerbutton
        Write-Host  "stop vm et Attente 9 sec"
        Start-Sleep -s 9 
then:

Code: Select all

      Write-host clone vdi
     vboxmanage clonemedium disk "$sourceFile" "$DestinationFile" --variant Fixed
This used to work fine during a couple of monthes.

But now there's an error relative to a locked state of the media (PS transcript log)

If I launch this script myself from my local computer (also from a remote desktop connection to the server) everything is ok.


Any ideas ,

Thank you
