This property is used to specify the maximum size of a VHD file in megabytes (MB). The size of the VHD file at creation time is based on the type of VHD file being created. For more information, see the VHDCreateTypeproperty. This property is valid only for the MDT New Computer deployment scenario.

Note   If this property is not specified, the default value for the maximum size of a VHD file is 90% of the available disk space on the parent disk.

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 that 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.
