Deployment Planner Incorrect OS Type

Brenda Rojas 1

Hi,

We ran the Deployment Planner and when the report came up on some servers (they all are Windows Server 2016) shows Windows 10 64bit on the OS Type, my doubt is why it shows another OS Type as the servers are Windows 2016?

Hello @BrendaRojas-7259,

Can you confirm you have the latest version of the deployment planner tool?
Depending on your Disaster recovery scenario, download and extract deployment planner tool for:

VMware to Azure

HyperV to Azure

Greetings @olufemia-MSFT ,

Initially we were running an oldest deployment planner tool, with your comment we proceeded to ran it again but with the latest version of the DP tool and it still shows Windows 10 64bit as an OS Type on machines that are Windows Server 2016 64bit. We are running this from VMware to Azure.

I am aware these 2 SKUs are largely identical under the hood but that doesn't necessarily explain the behavior here. I have reached out to the tool owners for insight. will update as soon as possible. Let me know if this is actively impacting your deployment and we can engage the technical support channel.

Cheers.

Greetings,

Thank you for the information, as of now is not impacting the environment but client is requesting an explanation for the behavior. Please let me know as soon as you have information or if you need anything from my side to find the root cause of this.

@Brenda Rojas The OS type is fetched from VMware APIs. It could be based on the VMware VM configuration template.

Please run the below commands to get the OS Type from VMware API.

Run the below commands on VMware PowerCLI installed machine.

PS > Connect-VIServer -Server <> -User <> -Password <>
PS > $vm = Get-VM -Name <>
PS > $vm.ExtensionData.Summary.Config.GuestFullName
