Dude, Where's My VHD?

Have you recently found yourself managing a VM using System Center Virtual Machine Manger 2008 R2 to remove a VHD only to find that the VHD has been deleted? Well, your not the first and I thought that this was old news at this point, but I constantly have folks emailing me asking if I have seen this behavior. The answer is yes and there is a fix available.

If you detach a VHD from a virtual machine and find that the VHD has been deleted instead, then you need to visit the link below and obtain a hotfix to correct this behavior.

This condition only exist with SCVMM 2008 R2 and doesn't exist within the Hyper-V Manager Snap-in.
