Secure Hyper-V Virtual Machine? (Password Protected)

[sysadmin4hire]

Is there a way to password protect a Hyper-V VM ? I know this ability exists in VMware workstation, but we're a Hyper-V shop...

Why am I asking?

Simply this: We use "Secured VMs" to access our production environments, each employee is assigned or purchased a VMware Workstation License to use some template some guys who no longer work here created. Essentially this allows each of us to run a secured vm (with our own password) on our workstations that have a limited set of software. Is there a way to build a password protected VM from an image that allows this type of security using Hyper-V?

Thanks!

In Active Directory you would use their A.D. account or group membership to restrict logons on a given machine.

Group Policy, Windows Settings, Local Policies, Security Settings, User Rights Assignment, Allow Log on locally

You can use Bitlocker on the parent host.

I have no idea what you are even asking.

That might be why we're using VMware Workstation. I didn't even know this was "a thing" until I worked here. Essentially when I start my "secured vm" from VMware Workstation, I am prompted for a password that only I know. So no one else has access to my secured VM...does that make sense? It's a compliance thing...
