Convert UPD to FSLogix container

We are wanting to move our users from RDS to WVD without losing or redoing the the profiles. Is there a way to convert the traditional RDS UPD profile (VHD) to a FSLogix profile container (Would like...

    Roger Critz we will be starting a private preview for a PowerShell script to accomplish this.  I will post the specifics here when available.  The Private Preview will be for those moving from on-prem to WVD, which is the use case you describe.  The current plan is for this PowerShell to ultimately move to an open source repo to be extended by the community.  Thanks!

I was able to convert my UPD's but when i try to login using FSLogix the login doesnt attach to the new VHDX . Is there something you need to do after to get it to attach properly? adamsi175

jerrywilkinson If FSLogix is configured correctly (enabled, set properly for your format (VHD/VHDX) and not using the profile, then it would be a matter of standard FSLogix trouble shooting to determine the issue.  Trouble shooting steps can be found here: https://docs.microsoft.com/fslogix/fslogix-trouble-shooting-ht.

 

Additional information around error codes, etc. are also available in the reference section.

    Doug_Coombs yes ive gone through all of that, and our FSLogix settings are correct. the errors im seeing are:

     

    VirtualDiskAPI::CreateFormattedDisk failed to create vhd(x):

    LoadProfile failed. User: ndtest. SID: S-1-5-21-4174114073-886831968-143637270-1216. (A device attached to the system is not functioning.)

     

    i think there is an issue in the conversion process, it creates the new VHDX but if i try to mount it with the FSLogix Mount tool i get errors related to permissions. but ive compared the permissions to a new FSLogix container VHDX and they are the same. So just scratching my head on the root issue

      jerrywilkinson Sorry if these are remedial questions, but I need to understand the scenario.

       

      1- I assume that the user can manually mount the VHDX, from the same machine as is being used for FSLogix, and traverse?

      2- What is the result of the error, a new VHDX, temp profile, local profile, etc?

      3- What process did you use to convert?

       

      Thanks!
