    The system cannot find the path specified (0x80070003)

  • Virtual Hard Disk (VHD) cannot be mounted on a host because VHD conflicts with other disks because of a stale entry that was left in the dictionary of Virtual Machine Manager memory.

  • Differencing disk based deployment may fail because the parent disk is being refreshed as noncached.
