Abstract
Described embodiments provide systems and methods for streaming a virtual disk. A first virtual hard disk (VHDX) file can be converted into a read-only VHDX file on a hypervisor. A second VHDX file can be created as a snapshot of the read-only VHDX file on the hypervisor. Partition globally unique identifiers (GUIDs) of the second VHDX file can be updated to be different from those of the read-only VHDX file. A provisioning services server executing on the hypervisor can stream the second VHDX file as a virtual disk over a virtual network established by the hypervisor, by booting the second VHDX file over the virtual network.
