I am relatively new to Hyper-V and I have recently installed about 60 virtual machines with Windows Server 2012 R2. I kicked off the VM install and configuration like an assembly line and I have found a couple or VMs that I followed the New Virtual Machine Wizard and created a Dynamically Expanding disk. I do not want this on my OS drive on my production servers for a number of reasons that I will not get into here.
My first thought was to do is reduce the drive, which I know cannot be done. I then thought to convert the disk but it consumes the whole of the dynamic potential, which somehow is a maximum of 2TB.
The questions that I have are... Is there an easy way to copy the data and configuration from the Dynamically Expanding VHD to a Fixed VHD in the magical virtual world? Is there a way to change the New Virtual Machine Wizard so that it does not automatically choose a dynamic disk?
