Problem description

Unable to change the optical drive letter in an Azure Windows Server 2022 VM deployment. The VM only has one optical drive installed (by default, from the image).

The issue does not seem to appear on an Azure Windows Server 2019 VM deployment.

We do not have any optical devices in our VMWare and AWS environments, so I cannot say if the issue exists there as well.

From the documentation, if the VM only has one optical drive, then the DiskID should be set to 1. Also, running the command Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_CDROMDrive -Property * will give you the DeviceID that is required by the resource (see below).

 # DeviceID for a virtual drive in a Hyper-V VM
 "SCSI\CDROM&VEN_MSFT&PROD_VIRTUAL_DVD-ROM\**000006**"

 # DeviceID for a mounted ISO in a Hyper-V VM
  SCSI\CDROM&VEN_MSFT&PROD_VIRTUAL_DVD-ROM\**2&1F4ADFFE&0&000002**"

But once the DSC is run, the error below can be observed.

 Get-OpticalDiskDriveLetter: Using Get-CimInstance to get the drive letter of optical disk 1 in the system.
 Get-OpticalDiskDriveLetter: The optical disk 1 could not be found in the system.

DSC configuration

# Azure - Sets the CDRom drive to Z:
OpticalDiskDriveLetter SetCDToZ {
    DiskId      = 1
    DriveLetter = 'Z'
}

Suggested solution

Checking on the module, changing the DeviceID length from 10 to 20 seems to resolve the issue.

# Get the optical disk matching the Id
$opticalDisks = Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_CDROMDrive |
    Where-Object -FilterScript {
    -not (
        $_.Caption -eq 'Microsoft Virtual DVD-ROM' -and
        ($_.DeviceID.Split('\')[-1]).Length -gt 20
    )
}
