I have multiple windows virtual machines in a network load balanced environment. They each have a local disk (C: drive) that has the files for delivering our website (inetpub/wwwroot). The problem is that any change I need to make to a web page needs to be updated on every machine. Should I be using another method for file storage? Ideally I'd like to move away from having to remote desktop onto every machine when I need to be an update.

What is the ideal method for file storage when running multiple machines in a NLB environment and why?

You might want to look into Continous Integration / Continous Delivery (CI/CD). Usually you would have a webhook from your repository software telling the servers to pull the newest version of the website.

A different way would be to use a shared filesystem.

I'd just implement DFS/DFS-R between your nodes then move your inetpub there, then any change to one machine is replicated to all. I was going to suggest just moving it to a NAS-type share but that introduces a single-point-of-failure whereas DFS/DFS-R shouldn't.
