Import Virtual Machine Using Additional Administrative Account

Additional administrative account refers to those accounts that are not default administrators. Such accounts are also referred as non-built-in administrative accounts. To import virtual machine from a Hyper-V host, you can either use the built-in administrator account of the Hyper-V host, or a domain account which is in the local administrators group of the Hyper-V host, or a non-built-in administrative user.

The user with additional administrative account can use the procedures to disable UAC remote access.

Notes:

• This procedure is not similar to disabling UAC. Using this procedure you can disable some of the functionalities of UAC.
• Considering that remote Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) technology is used for import, ensure that WMI is not blocked by firewall.

Follow these steps:

1. Click Start, type regedit in the Search programs and files field, and then press Enter.

   The Windows Registry Editor opens.

   Note: You may need to provide administrative credentials to open Windows Registry Editor.

2. Locate and click the following registry key:

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
   

3. From the Edit menu, click New and then click DWORD (32-bit) Value.
4. Specify LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy as the name for the new entry and then press Enter.
5. Right-click LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy and then click Modify.
6. Specify 1 in the Value data field and then click OK.
7. Exit the Registry Editor.
