Re: Move-VM Convert VMDK from Sparse to Thin

No, it works when I use the API.  I didn't test that exact code but what I was able to make work earlier (that I got from an earlier post of your's) is very similar, posted below.  I'm guessing I don't need all the additional parameters.  I'll need to simplify my function to use your latest code.

        $spec = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineRelocateSpec

        $spec.datastore = $DSMoRef

        $vmobj.ExtensionData.Config.Hardware.Device |

        where {$_ -is [VMware.Vim.VirtualDisk]} | %{

            $disk = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineRelocateSpecDiskLocator

            $disk.diskId = $_.Key

            $disk.datastore = $DSMoRef

            $disk.diskBackingInfo = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualDiskFlatVer2BackingInfo

            $disk.diskBackingInfo.fileName = $_.Backing.FileName

            $disk.diskBackingInfo.datastore = $DSMoRef

            $disk.diskBackingInfo.diskMode = "persistent"

            $disk.diskBackingInfo.split = $false

            $disk.diskBackingInfo.writeThrough = $false

            $disk.diskBackingInfo.thinProvisioned = $true

            $disk.diskBackingInfo.eagerlyScrub = $false

            $disk.diskBackingInfo.uuid = $_.Backing.Uuid

            $disk.diskBackingInfo.contentId = $_.Backing.ContentId

            $disk.diskBackingInfo.digestEnabled = $false

            $spec.disk += $disk

        }

        $MoveTask = $vmobj.ExtensionData.RelocateVM_Task($spec, $null)
