Azure WVD I am unable to convert userprofile using frx.exe
1. Find the location and name of the user you want to move
This example uses a current user named: Bob
2. Open an Administrator command prompt
Navigate into the FSLogix Apps directory
cd C:\Program Files\FSLogix\Apps
Pull up the copy-profile command
frx copy-profile
3. Build your command string
Choose the parameters that apply to your situation, in this example we are going to:
Give the output path for our vhd(x) -filename C:\Profile.vhd(x)
Enter in which user to copy -username Domain\Username
Specify the size of the disk with -size-mbs 10000
Make the disk grow as needed -dynamic 1
4. Perform the conversion
frx copy-profile -filename C:\Users\Bob.vhdx -username Bob -dynamic 1 -size-mbs 10000
After the process in finished, a clone of your user Bob account should be in a container under C:\Users\Bob.vhdx
Troubleshooting
It is possible that you may run into some errors when using and creating Profile Containers.
(0x00000001D): the system cannot write to the specified device.
This problem arises when you are attempting to migrate an existing user account to a profile container (vhd).
Fix:
Delete the following directory and all its contents. Re-running your command should result in a success.
%Temp%\FrxMount
(0x00000005): Access denied
This problem arises when you are attempting to migrate an existing user account without administrator permissions
Fix:
You have to run the command using an administrator command prompt.

Hi Lewis, I already have used this command multiple times but still keep on getting the same error. In the path you mentioned I couldn't find any trace of a FrxMount file or folder.
the User I am using is a local admin so not a permission issue. Lewis-H
