icacls.exe can help to automate this, i.e.

icacls E:\NewClient.vhd /grant "NT VIRTUAL MACHINE\VM_GUID:(R,W)"

VM_GUID can be obtained from Hyper-V host WMI.

In cluster configuration, icacls.exe must be executed on the host where VM has been created.

So, it's same even if you use Hyper-V v3..

Why don't you simply check ACL of the VHD before starting process? It adds a few seconds only and should be acceptable if you are not in hurry.
