What is disk2vhd V2?

Disk2vhd v2.01. Run now from Sysinternals Live. Introduction. Disk2vhd is a utility that creates VHD (Virtual Hard Disk – Microsoft’s Virtual Machine disk format) versions of physical disks for use in Microsoft Virtual PC or Microsoft Hyper-V virtual machines (VMs).

Can a VMM template referencing a VHDX be deployed to Hyper-V?

For example, a Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) template referencing a VHDX cannot be deployed to a Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V server, therefore this template will need to be recreated using a VHD file.

How many VHDs does it create for each disk?

It will create one VHD for each disk on which selected volumes reside. It preserves the partitioning information of the disk, but only copies the data contents for volumes on the disk that are selected. This enables you to capture just system volumes and exclude data volumes, for example.

Can disk2vhd convert a volume with BitLocker enabled?

Disk2vhd does not support the conversion of volumes with Bitlocker enabled. If you wish to create a VHD for such a volume, turn off Bitlocker and wait for the volume to be fully decrypted first. Disk2vhd runs on Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, and higher, including x64 systems.
