Running the https://virtamove.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/VDOC/pages/314147024/virtadissolve?search_id=cec45da9-2c5a-434d-b23e-29f5a8ecee05 command generates two HTML Dissolve reports, which contain information about the number of files, keys, and services processed, dissolved, and not dissolved:

  • VirtaDissolve_ShortReport.html - the general report, which lists a summary and only the components that were not dissolved in order to minimize the file size.

  • VirtaDissolve_Report.html - the detailed report, which lists a summary as well as the dissolved and undissolved components. Note that the detailed report may take some time to generate for a large container.

The contents of VirtaDissolve_ShortReport.html are as follows:

  • summary

  • users, groups dissolved

  • winsxs dissolved

  • services dissolved

  • users, groups not dissolved

  • winsxs not dissolved

  • services not dissolve

  • files not dissolved

  • keys not dissolved

  • number of redirected folders

  • number of redirected keys

The contents of VirtaDissolve_Report.html are as follows:

  • summary

  • reboot required

  • users, groups dissolved

  • services dissolved

  • winsxs dissolved

  • scheduled tasks dissolved

  • files and keys dissolved (file and key counts only for VirtaDissolve_ShortReport.html)

  • DCOM keys dissolved (key counts only for VirtaDissolve_ShortReport.html)

  • users, groups not dissolved

  • services not dissolved

  • winsxs not dissolved

  • scheduled tasks not dissolved

  • files and keys not dissolved

  • DCOM keys not dissolved

  • user SIDs

The reports are located in the same folder as the container:

c:\appliances\<Container>\VirtaDissolve_ShortReport.html c:\appliances\<Container>\VirtaDissolve_Report.html

Be sure to review a Dissolve report after you run Dissolve. Address any issues or errors raised in the report, and then dissolve the container again and as many times as required until the container is successfully dissolved to the underlying operating system.
