If you have quite a lot of VM like me, defrag' & shrink of them is a pain, as it's one by one and manual.
So i wrote up a vbscript to do the job:
- Search recursively in all folders from a root folder
- defrag all vmdk found (vdiskmanager knows if it's possible or not)
- shrink all vmdk found (vdiskmanager knows if it's possible or not)
fire up thevbscript with cscript, you will have vdiskmanager output:
vmware_compressor
You just need to change 2 things:
- where is installed vmware workstation:
VmWareInstallFolder="C:\" & """" & "Program Files (x86)"
& """" & "\VMware\" & """" & "VMware Workstation" &
""""
- Where are stored your VMDK :
VmdkRootFolder="F:\vmware"
My environnement:
- Windows vista SP1 64 bit
- VmWare Workstation 6
