The error clearly tells you what the problem is
Install-WindowsFeature : You do not have adequate user rights to the specified path:
I'm assuming these are non-domain joined devices, in which case you would need to pass credentials that are valid on the remote host

nice to see you back. thanks for reply.

i am using single Laptop for my Lab. my VM are in WorkGroup.(core-nug VM + gui-nug VM)

win 10 hyper-v host (name = "H1", ip address =192.168.1.200) --->

"gui-nug" (VM) + "core-nug" (VM) residing on win 10 hyper-v(192.168.1.200).

gui-nug.vhdx + core-nug.vhdx are stored on win 10 Host(192.168.1.200)--> running windows 2016 server(data center).

so when i connect to core-nug VM & tries to install windows feature on Offline "gui-nug.vhdx" it gives me following Error.

so basically "core-nug" VM is trying to access "gui-nug.vhdx" on VMHost 192.168.1.200 -->

thank again, hope to see you again.
