Increase a VHD size - the methods

  • Articolo

Dugie and others have posted about this in the past, now Conrad has added some great detail, especially leveraging native Microsoft tools (some still in beta).  Basically you have a choice of:

Method 1. Using WAIK (Windows Automated Installation Kit) which uses Imagex.exe and WinPE rather than a 3rd party tool such as Ghost.

Method 2. Using VMDMount (you need Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1 (beta2) to get VHDMount) - if you just need the VHDMount part of the Virtual Server beta Dugie (once again) has the method.

Remember to test these methods until you're happy...I know I will be.
