Hi @Marashni
Do you know when this fix will be delivered?

Thanks for this @Marashni. @WinniX it's on-hold at the moment because recognizing SQL Server is only part of the workflow. The tool also needs to generate output from the source SQL database - and we're looking at options - e.g. should it extract the MDF file(s), or be more intelligent and extract just the schema.

Hi @WinniX, this just fixes what the code was trying to do as it was written. However, as @sixeyed noted even with the fix to the code, it doesn't really do much except capture instance names. Functionality for pulling MDF's or schema has yet to be implemented.

This was advertised at Microsoft Ignite as working (being able to pull a live SQL Server database and convert it into a container image) during this session: https://myignite.microsoft.com/sessions/53257?source=sessions

Is that not true, does this functionality not exist yet?

The last I was aware the code didn't really do anything. I submitted a pull request to fix the code as it was written to do what the code seemed to intend, which was to pull instance names out of a registry hive on your VM's .VHDX, and that's all it really does, last I knew.

That sounds like false advertising, but it's not the first I've seen regarding this tool. @sixeyed probably knows more about the team's internal plans to implement the described functionality.
