P2V Scripts to Remove Stale Hardware

For the last couple of weeks I have been working on writing some post-configuration scripts for Virtual Machine created by the P2V process. As you might know stale or phantom hardware needs to be manually removed from the Virtual Machine. I’ve written a script to automate this and other manual post-configuration processes. The scripts use as combination of vbs/netsh/ and Microsoft CLI called DevCon – which is a command-line version of device manger

The scripts are for free and offered as is without warranty for illustration purposes onlyâ€¦

You can download the pdf guide which describes the scripts here:

You can download an ISO containing the scripts here:

[...] I found a CD called p2v-scripts.iso on the VMTN forums. Link below. I’m going to give it a shot when I get a chance to shutdown the server. Essentially, it’s an automatic way to remove unnecessary drivers from a P2V’d VM. There are other goodies as well. Thanks to Mike for putting it together. http://www.rtfm-ed.co.uk/?p=108 [...]
