Error message: The server encountered an error trying to create the virtual hard disk.

Failed to create the virtual hard disk

The system failed to create ‘C:\Users\Public\Documents\Hyper-V\Virtual Hard Disks\New Virtual Hard Disk.vhdx’.

The file exists (0x80070050).

Solution: The filename for the VHD has been used in an earlier attempt, adjust filename slightly when creating the new drive (see video)
