Hi All

Deployment to resource group 'myresourcegroup' failed.
Additional details from the underlying API that might be helpful: At least one resource deployment operation failed. Please list deployment operations for details. Please see https://aka.ms/DeployOperations for usage details.

Disk 'myfile.vhd' with blob https://mystoreaccount.blob.core.windows.net:8443/mycontainer/myfile.vhd is of Dynamic VHD type. Please retry with fixed VHD type

    Hello,

    Make sure the following:

    • Do not generalize the VM by using Sysprep.
    • Remove any guest virtualization tools and agents that are installed on the VM (such as VMware tools).
    • The maximum size allowed for the OS VHD on a generation 1 VM is 2 TB

    Regarding this error "myfile.vhd is of Dynamic VHD type. Please retry with fixed VHD type"

    You can convert a VHDX file to VHD, convert a dynamically expanding disk to a fixed-size disk.

    The best way to Upload a VHD to Azure is using Azure PowerShell with AzCopy.exe

    Regards,
    Ayoub
