microsoft's Issues

Have to run script twice to shrink VHD

I have noticed that trying to compress some disks they are not compressing to what I expected them to. I have tested this a few times and get the same issue.

Example:
User had a 20GB VHD
Ran your script once gave this output :
Post Defragmentation Report:
VERBOSE:
Volume Information:
VERBOSE: Volume size = 29.29 GB
VERBOSE: Cluster size = 4 KB
VERBOSE: Used space = 2.18 GB
VERBOSE: Free space = 27.10 GB
VERBOSE:
Allocation Units:
VERBOSE: Slab count = 936
VERBOSE: Slab size = 32 MB
VERBOSE: Slab alignment = 31.00 MB
VERBOSE: In-use slabs = 73
VERBOSE:
Slab Consolidation:
VERBOSE: Space efficiency = 100%
VERBOSE: Potential purgable slabs = 430
VERBOSE: Slabs pinned unmovable = 6
VERBOSE: Successfully purged slabs = 423
VERBOSE: Recovered space = 13.21 GB
VERBOSE:
Retrim:
VERBOSE: Backed allocations = 618
VERBOSE: Allocations trimmed = 545
VERBOSE: Total space trimmed = 17.03 GB

but looking at the VHD it was only dropped back to 11GB.

I ran the script again and it dropped the VHD down to 2GB with this output :
Post Defragmentation Report:
VERBOSE:
Volume Information:
VERBOSE: Volume size = 29.29 GB
VERBOSE: Cluster size = 4 KB
VERBOSE: Used space = 2.18 GB
VERBOSE: Free space = 27.10 GB
VERBOSE:
Allocation Units:
VERBOSE: Slab count = 936
VERBOSE: Slab size = 32 MB
VERBOSE: Slab alignment = 31.00 MB
VERBOSE: In-use slabs = 73
VERBOSE:
Slab Consolidation:
VERBOSE: Space efficiency = 100%
VERBOSE: Potential purgable slabs = 0
VERBOSE: Slabs pinned unmovable = 6
VERBOSE: Successfully purged slabs = 0
VERBOSE: Recovered space = 0 bytes
VERBOSE:
Retrim:
VERBOSE: Backed allocations = 73
VERBOSE: Allocations trimmed = 0
VERBOSE: Total space trimmed = 0 bytes

Is this expected behaviour ? Do I have to run the script twice for it to finally truncate the VHD to the correct size ?

Add functionality for multiple servers - FSLogix CCD

Is there a way to get this script to work across multiple servers ?

We use FSLogix CCD so we have a couple of server that host the profile disks. It would be good if the script could process the user disks at both locations at the same time so there are no discrepancies by doing one server at a time.

Both sites have the same directory layout and naming convention so it would be quite simple for the script to do both at the same time without having to run two different processes.

Thanks

Missing lines from original Version

I tried this version https://github.com/Deyda/Microsoft/blob/master/FSLogix/FSLogix-ShrinkDisk.ps1
but I'm getting errors and disk's stay mounted after error.

can you import missing lines from https://github.com/FSLogix/Invoke-FslShrinkDisk/blob/master/Invoke-FslShrinkDisk.ps1

Roaming Profile issue - no consideration to the default roaming profile naming convention

While attempting to use this recently i ran into the blocker that i was unable to process the directory that housed my Roaming Profiles as they were all named "username.DOMAIN.V6". The script failed, being unable to find a username. Would some sanity check on the username be possible on this?

Hi,

Expand fail

Hi, i try this script to expand some vhdx O365 disk but i have this error and half work is doing :

TerminatingError(Get-Partition): "Cannot validate argument on parameter 'DiskNumber'. The argument is null. Provide a valid value for the argument, and then try running the command again."

TerminatingError(Get-Partition): "Cannot validate argument on parameter 'DiskNumber'. The argument is null. Provide a valid value for the argument, and then try running the command again."
Cannot validate argument on parameter 'DiskNumber'. The argument is null. Provide a valid value for the argument, and then try running the command again.[0].Exception.GetType().FullName

My vhdx mounted with add 10Gb but no expand done

issue with vhdx if not created with frx.exe

if the vhdx files are created from the native operating system instead of of the frx.exe, I got issues to shrink the vhdx afterwards with the script from Jim Moyle, check out FSLogix/Invoke-FslShrinkDisk#22

Wrong string marks used

Hi,

please check your scripts for wrong string marks and fix them:

• Only -->'<-- should be used.
• Other like -->`<-- or -->´<-- will get bad transformed in Windows UTF8, which is used in Windows PowerShell.

For example Microsoft-InstalledSoftware.ps1 has wrong ones which results in these errors, if I try to execute it on a Windows machine:
