Auto convert dynamic disk when deploying template?

$

To save space and time we opted to make our server templates using dynamic disks. Part of the deployment guide for new servers was then to manually edit the VM and convert to fixed disk.

Problem is that this sometimes is forgotten and discovered after a server is in production, so we would need planned downtime to fix it...

Question;

1. is it possible to get VMM to do this automatically when deploying a new server? (add on PS script or something?)

2. is it possible to change the VHD on the library server from dynamic to fixed so the template would deploy with a fix disk? (to avoid making new templates :))

We're using VMM2012R2 with HyperV 2012R2 clusters. No. 1 would be preferable as we find deployment is slow with "large" fixed disks...

Thanks for any tips :)
