You can add a remote file server as a storage device in VMM. To perform this action requires
that you have an account that is a member of the Administrator or the Delegated Administra-
tor user role. You must also have a Run As account configured that has administrative permis-
sions on the file server.

1.
In the Fabric workspace of the VMM console, select File Servers under the Storage
node.
On the VMM console ribbon, click Add Resources, and then click Storage Devices.
2.
On the Select A Storage Provider Type page, select Windows-Based File Server, as
shown in Figure 3-2.

er. Specify whether the server is in an untrusted Active Directory domain, and choose a
Run As account that has local Administrator privileges on the target computer. Figure

istrator Run As account.
