This property is used to specify the name of a VHD file. The type of VHD file is based on the value of the VHDCreateType property. The property only includes the file name, not the path to the file name, and is valid only for the MDT New Computer deployment scenario.

Note   The VHD files created by MDT are stored in the VHD folder in the root of the parent drive.

This property is commonly set using a task sequence step created using the Create Virtual Hard Disk (VHD) task sequence type. You can override the value the Create Virtual Hard Disk (VHD) task sequence step sets by configuring this property in CustomSettings.ini.

Note   To configure this property in CustomSettings.ini, you must add this property to the Properties line in CustomSettings.ini.
