    Hi,

     To assign read-only shares in the private cloud for administrators to store resources like .iso files for self-service users, ensure you have one or more existing library shares available for this purpose.

    On the Specify stored VM path and read-only library shares page, browse and choose the library share you wish to use for self-service users to store VMs.

    Hi,

    It sounds like you're dealing with a significant issue where all files in the MSSCVMMLibrary share are missing.

    Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve this problem:

    1. Check Permissions: Ensure that the SCVMM service account has the necessary permissions to access and write to the MSSCVMMLibrary share. Verify this by navigating to the share path (e.g., \\YourServerName\MSSCVMMLibrary) and checking the permissions.
    2. Verify Library Share: Use SCVMM PowerShell cmdlets to check the status of the library share:
       Get-SCLibraryShare -Name "MSSCVMMLibrary"
    

    This command will provide details about the library share and help identify any issues.

    1. Refresh the Library: Sometimes, a manual refresh of the library can help. You can do this from the SCVMM console or using PowerShell:
       Refresh-SCLibraryShare -Name "MSSCVMMLibrary"
    

    This will force SCVMM to re-index the files in the library share.

    1. Check SCVMM Logs: Review the SCVMM logs for any errors related to the library share. This can provide more insights into what might be causing the issue.
    2. Re-add Library Share: If the library share is not recognized, you can re-add it using the Add-SCLibraryShare cmdlet:
       Add-SCLibraryShare -Name "MSSCVMMLibrary" -Path "\\YourServerName\MSSCVMMLibrary"
    

    Make sure the path is correct and accessible.

    Let me know if you need more help or if there's anything specific, you'd like to focus on!
