Problem with Microsoft Upload Center, fail to delete document cache

Recently, my MS Upload Centre crashed and did not know how and why did it happened. The repair function from the MS Upload Centre did not work. I manage to delete the cache myself, below is the steps:-

1. Locate the document cache folder in my case C:\Users\...\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\15.0\OfficeFileCache
2. Launch Task Manager to stop all the MS office Sync process and also MS document cache process.
3. Back to the cache folder and delete all.
4. Go to your sharepoint or onedrive folder and refresh it, the upload center will automatically launch and re-sync the folder.
4. Your onedrive, sharepoint and all the library folder will re-sync and back to normal. Make sure the little green tick icon is beside all the files that sits in the sharepoint sync folder in your local.

Convert VMDK disk to VHD disk using MVDC

Convert VMDK disk to VHD disk using MVDC


I believe that most of you having the same problem that I have encounter when trying to convert VMDK disk image only into VHD disk and run it in my Hyper-V. I having a problem lately to use the System Center Virtual Machine Manager  2012 (SCVMM) to locate my VMDK image in the library therfore i cant convert it using SCVMM. If you having the same problem that I have that's great, by reading this post I believe you will be able to convert the image by just few simple steps.

  1. Install the Microsoft Virtual Machine Converter Solution Accelerator (MVMC)
    • MVMC contain two parts.
      • MVMC to move VM with both CLI and GUI.
      • MVDC (Microsoft Virtual Disk Converter) only convert disks from VMDK to VHD.
    • In my case we will utilize the MVDC where I just want to convert the disk instead.
  2. Once you installed the MVMC open as administrator for the command prompt
  3. Go to the path that you installed the MVMC and type in the command below
    • mvdc.exe "source disk" "destination disk"
    • e.g. mvdc.exe "D:\Virtual Machines\KLVM-WIN732\KLVM-WIN732.vmdk" "D:\Virtual Machines\KLVM-WIN732\KLVM-WIN732.vhd"
  4. Please remember it will take awhile 10 to 20 mins maybe. You can take a break while waiting it to be converted and let the machine do the job.
  5. Once the disk is ready you can now try to run it in your Hyper-V.
