Are you asking for the difference of VHD and VHDX? Or are you asking for a migration strategy for VHD to VHDX? or both lol?
n
thanks Ray. i found those too. i was surprised they didn't have something on the FSlogix page recommending to use vhdx instead of vhd.
i thought i was missing something so thats why i asked.
do you use vhd or vhdx for your deployments?
r
Sure, no problem. I guess it depends on how you look at it. Me looking at it from an outside perspective. I would know that VHDX is more scalable than VHD. I use only VHDX now.
But many years ago, 6 to be extract I did deploy VHD. But I stick to VHDX now.
Out of all the FSLogix guys out there, I would think someone has done this migration. It's no light task, for sure.
From how I understand it, and I could be wrong. I would setup another File share location. Use some sort of tool that can copy the Folder NTFS permissions that are a match for the destination. Example robocopy "source" "destination" /e /z /SEC /xf * Setup the GPO to the new location, Set VHDX in that setup. Make sure the share is setup too. Then take a couple of test users(could be created for the Test approach) use the " c:\Program Files\FSLogix\Apps\frx.exe migrate-vhd -src \\server_one\usrname\<username.vhd> -Dest \\server_two\username\<username.vhdx>" (never tested that personally) but a general Idea. Once migrated, have a test user login and see what happens.

I needed to convert VHD to VHDX and wrote this: https://github.com/ScottKnights/FSLogix/blob/main/Convert-VHDToVHDX.ps1

Oh heck yea.
I think you shared this before? I remember it, but I could not remember. But it’s awesome of you
s
Possibly. Its only something I have had to do once, as I just use VHDX by default now.
Current script uses same path for both files. Have considered making changes to have a separate destination path, but never got round to it. If you need to use a different VHDX destination path, feel free to modify it, or just robocopy the VHDs to the new location before running it assuming enough space.
