          Is it a generic VHD that we could grab somewhere to see if we can reproduce here?

            @olivierlambert No, it is our unifi controller VM so it has some private info. I tried it this afternoon again with a different VHD and had the same result, this time a VHD I exported from our veeam backups, which I have done with XOA before without issue. Should I create my own thread?

            I also just tried it again from my macbook with safari, same result. Weird how when I go to show logs, there is nothing.

            Thank you so much for your assistance!

              @caponate Have you tried importing it via XCP-ng center? It's older but may be worth a try.

                @planedrop Is that even possible anymore? I cannot find the option to do that, it has been a long time since I used xcp-ng center.

                Just tested it on my main desktop at home, I can import a generic windows server VHD I downloaded from microsoft. But not a copy of an Azure VM that I downloaded the other day (but it boots in hyper-V)... Very weird. I will try downloading it again and report back.

                  Here is what I get when trying to upload the exported vhd:

                  Tried with 3 different browsers just in case.

                    Just to double check: are you in HTTPS in your browser?

                      You could also try to import the VHD directly with xe on the host, and see if it works.

                        @olivierlambert Yep. And I confirmed it today, it appears it is JUST the vhd files exported from Azure that don't work. I don't know what in the hell they do to them, but there's something messed up about them. Maybe I will export a generic one and post it for analysis.

                          Interesting 🤔 Are you sure they are VHD and not VHDX? If it's possible to access the problematic VHD, we could take a look and see what's inside in terms of structure and headers.
