You can check with Get-DedupVolume and Get-DedupStatus commands as above.ĭon’t forget to drop him a word of thanks for his effort, and if you have any question, post in the comments below.

He not only has extracted the DeDup bits for us into a zipped file, he has also provided the PowerShell script to Re-Enable if you’ve done it before, or to install if you’re activating DeDup for the first time.ĭownload the bits from his OneDrive share and run the PowerShell script found in the included “” file. And lo and behold, someone actually has gone before me. But decided to do a search online if someone has already done it. I wanted to download the Windows Server Technical Preview to extract the DeDup objects since they can only be found there. It is a dance you have to do with each OS install to activate DeDup on your client since new OS install breaks the former DeDup objects.įear not, the alpha-geeks on the Net are already on the case. Deduplicator treats files only as duplicates if their content is exactly the same. Choose auto-select or manually select the duplicates you want to delete. When it finds any it will show them grouped by their checksum. Pick a folder and the app starts looking for duplicated files. Now with Win10TP install you can’t access any of your DeDup volumes anymore. Deduplicator finds duplictated files and lets you delete them. So you installed Win10TP on your production desktop/laptop and you forgot you’ve enabled an unsupported feature called DeDuplication on your Client machine because you have a lot of Hyper-V VHDx files consuming your precious SSD drive. You believe every tech problem is there to be resolved. If you’re like me, you’ve not listened to Microsoft with the advise not to install Windows 10 Technical Preview on your production Machine. Here is something geeky and not for the fainthearted.
