Hyper-V 2012 R2. Is it possible to use a storage enclosure on a non-domain joined server for hyper-v smb storage? We need to place some VM machines and disks on the stroage enclosure and it appears as if you can not do that unless the server is joined to the domain. Can someone confirm?

You generally need to assign domain based accounts to the local administrator group of the storage server, so I don't know how you could do that without it being domain joined.  Even EMC and NetApp storage controllers join the domain when presenting SMB storage.

Basically what the "see details" button shows is the administrator of the domain does not have permissions. Domain administrator has full control on the share (ntfs and share permissions). What am i missing?

OK, i have delegated access to both the server i am using hyper-v manager on and the server that has the storage enclosure installed on. Now i get:

Can someone direct me to a technet article on how to do this?
