I have a new 2 node hyperconverged StarWind Virtual SAN setup that I am trying to get running. All initial setup steps, HA Device creation and sync, Failover cluster test and creation, SOFS creation, Disk creation, initialization, partition/format, and folder/share creation all completed without error. However, every time I try to create a new VM, it fails with permission errors. Can't seem to figure out where I have gone wrong.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

What privileges have you got in the environment? What type of account do you use? Can you reproduce the steps?

Thanks for your reply.
I am a system administrator on the domain and I am using an account with full administrator privileges (member of both 'domain admins' and 'enterprise admins') however I am not using the actual "administrator" account.
I am using the VSan Free and StarwindX library with Powershell for administration of Starwind and a separate Win 10 Pro machine that is domain joined for other administration. Hyper-V servers are Server 2016 Core.

Any information on the steps you make to reproduce this permission issue?

I used the guide "Hyperconverged 2-Node Scenario with Hyper-V Server 2016". Where the guide starts with Starwind Management Console, I used Powershell commands and the guidance from the samples in CreateHA(two nodes).ps1.

I am generally interested in the Hyper-V part, as you've got the StarWind part of the environment up and running just fine.
In what way do you create VMs? What are the steps that you follow? This is the information I initially meant to request.
