This property is used to specify the name of a VHD file that is used as a template (source) for creating a new VHD file. You can specify the file name using a UNC path, local path, relative path, or just the file name. If just the file name is specified, then MDT attempts to find the VHD file on the target computer. This property is valid only for the MDT New Computer deployment scenario.

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.
