Windows 2008 R2 Session -- 20.10.2009
Resources and scripts from presentation.
PowerPoint presentation.
Question from today:
Is it possible to have Windows XP boot from VHD.
The answer is no (well, at least it is not supportable). This is only supported on Windows 7 and Windows 2008 R2
More information on this can be found here.

Hello, could you please post the vhd [4 lines of code, if i remember right (:] script that you used at your presentation. Thanks in advance, best regards from Nejc.
Could you explain in a sentence or two why DFS is not a HA solution and such a configuration is not recommended. What problems does it usually have (is the replication not configured properly...).
Native boot for other OS's (not supported of course):

@Nejc,
You can use these:
bcdedit /copy {current} /d "Windows 7 VHD"
This will give you new GUID and description in boot menu.
Replace GUID below with the one you got in the first step.
bcdedit /set {6ba352e7-bc85-11de-b768-ea21ab1e54fa} device vhd=[C:]\Virtual_Computers\Windows_7_Ultimate.vhd
bcdedit /set {6ba352e7-bc85-11de-b768-ea21ab1e54fa} osdevice vhd=[C:]\Virtual_Computers\Windows_7_Ultimate.vhd
bcdedit /set {6ba352e7-bc85-11de-b768-ea21ab1e54fa} detecthal on
When you want to clean up you can use
bcdedit /delete {6ba352e7-bc85-11de-b768-ea21ab1e54fa} /cleanup
