Virtual Machine User Account

I've been testing various backup methods with our Hyper-V Virtual Machines.
The current method we had was to shutdown the Hyper-V console and create a
copy job through the Altiris backup server I've built to copy the contents
of the VHD folders to network storage.

The copy worked, and so I attempted to recover by renaming the folder that
was on my host machine and copy the backuped folder back. but once I copied
it back and attempted to re-launch Hyper-V I got an access denied error. I
realized backing up and restoring with this method resets the folder
permissions.

While I was able to recreate most of the permissions I'm getting stuck on a
authenticated account called "Virtual Machines". The two other virtual
machines have this account listed with permissions, but I am unable to find
this account anywhere in the local users and groups.

Any idea's where I can this account?

Thanks.

Cameron,

Not sure what this account is. Are you using Authorization Manager to
leverage role base permissions for Hyper-V? Run AzMan.msc and connect to your
authorization store and see if this account is setup here.
