  • Virtual Server 2005 R2 Resource Kit Now on the Shelves!


    Welcome to my blog.

    I am an Architect with MS Consulting Services specializing in Infrastructure Optimization and Virtualization. I am also the co-author of the new Virtual Server 2005 R2 Resource Kit.

    In this blog I will talk about various technology subjects that are my passion and also drive me crazy sometimes.

New bonus scripts for Virtual Server 2005 R2 Resource Kit

My co-author Janique Carbone has posted two new bonus scripts on her site http://vscommunity.com.

Both scripts have to do with finding out information about differencing disks.

GETVHDParentInfo - Allows you to specify a VHD file on the command line and the script will tell you if the VHD is a differencing disk and then walk the tree of dependencies to show you the entire hierarchy of the parent child relationship

ListDiffDisks - Allows you to point at a Virtual Server host and it will enumerate all the virtual machines and all of their VHDs, telling you which ones are differencing disks and also printing the entire hierarchy of the parent child relationship.

These are posted in the Downloads area and require you to be a registered user of the site to download them.

Enjoy....
