Solved Anyone know of a way to image a VHD with DISM?


I know that I had said that I was done with this issue, but last night as I attempted to get some shuteye, the resolution for this issue suddenly dawned on me.

After running sysprep on the natively booted VHD, the solution is as simple as booting that VHD again, allowing setup complete and to take you to the desktop, then suspend BitLocker one more time, reboot into the primary Windows installation. I tested this extensively today and it all works fine now.

There are a few other finer details, but I suspect that nobody is really interested :-).

Yeah we are 😁.
