Initialize-VMShieldingHelperVHD

SYNOPSIS

Initializes a VHD for use as a shielding utility disk in a guarded fabric.

SYNTAX

Initialize-VMShieldingHelperVHD -Path <String> [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION

The Protect-TemplateDisk cmdlet initializes a virtual hard disk (VHD) for use as a shielding utility disk in a guarded fabric.

Utility VHDs contain the software needed to shield an existing VM on a guarded fabric. A supported operating system must be installed on the disk before initializing it as a shielding helper VHD.

For more information about preparing a shielding helper VHD, see Shielded VMs - Hosting service provider prepares a VM Shielding Helper VHDhttps://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server-docs/security/guarded-fabric-shielded-vm/guarded-fabric-vm-shielding-helper-vhd at https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=832557.
