Customization of comments 2003 64 bit?

Running VC 2.5 U2 and I try to use the Customization Wizard to comments for 2003 64 bit VMs.  Doesn't seem to work.  I have installed sysprep tools:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VMware\VMware VirtualCenter\sysprep

And uncompressed compared to 2003 R2 Ent in deploy.cab:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VMware\VMware VirtualCenter\sysprep\svr2003-64

I'm able to customize 2003 32-bit VMs with no problems.

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance,

Geob

have you copied the sysprep command ON the CD of Windows 2003 R2 64 bit to these files?  I found that Sysprep in Windows 2003 and 2003 R2 do not seem to be compatible.

For your model, I also would remove all restore points and convert to a new model.   Then try again.

  • Customization of comments does not not on Windows 2003 SP2 64-bit

    Hello

    I have a server ESX 3.5 with Center Virtual Server 2.5 aned Labmanager 3.0.1.

    I am running 32-bit as 64-bit VM Templates.

    I created packages of Sysprep for 64-bit machines, and each of them works perfectly except for the Windows 2003 SP2 64-bit model. Where the comments customization fails. I tried everything I can think of.

    Trashed the model and built a new, recreated the Sysprep package, updated the SP. But I still get the same error.

    Here, any help would be greatly appreciated I have a quality assurance team to test the 2003 64 bits and at the present time, they are unable to do so because they do not receive an IP address from the scope of the Labmanager.

    Thank you

    Nadine

    You are missing something:

    C:\sysprep\i386\$OEM$

    This file should be present in the directory SYSPREP on the Lab Manager, if not, then something is missing.  I believe that Lab Manager that creates during Setup, but you can do ths following

    First of all, we need to make a folder path that looks like this

    sysprep\Win2k3_64\i386\$ OEM$

    In the oem folder, make a txt file named:

    Cmdlines.txt

    Open the file and just put this in it:

    \[Commands]

    'TAG_RUN_CUSTOMIZATION_EXE '.

    This should replicate to have the correct file:

    C:\Program VMware Lab Manager\Tools\CustomizeGuest\Windows\Sysprep\Win2k3_64\i386\$OEM$\cmdlines.txt

    (Note that your way this may differ on the Lab Manager server)

    Once this is done, you will need to rebuild the sysprep packages before deploying again.

    Note, you will need to each sysprep folder path too.

  • Customization of comments on vCenter 4.1.0

    I've got vCenter installed on Windows server 2008 R2 (64-bit).  I think I have the sysprep files in the right place: C:\Users\All Users\VMware\VMware VirtualCenter\sysprep and I have them here: C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware VirtualCenter\sysprep.

  • Win2k3 comments of 64-bit does not start on 64-bit Vista, processor E6700 with VT active host

    I have a guest for Windows Server 2003 64-bit running on a 64-bit Vista with VMware Server 2.01 host.  The host system has a CPU of Core2Duo Intel E6700 and VT is enabled in the BIOS.  The guest has worked fine until this morning.  Windows updates hit the host the next day and installed Microsoft lastest set of security patches and rebooted the host.  Because then the host 64-bit does not start - I can get the BIOS on reviews, but Windows itself indicates that he doesn't see a 32-bit CPU and cannot load 64-bit operating system.

    64-bit VMware compatibility checker, said that the host is 64-bit ready comments.  I don't know if something is messed up in the comments or on the host?  It's the only host 64-bit on the system, all the other guests are 32-bit and load very well.

  • Is - this Windows 2003 64-bit supports the USB WD My Passport HIS drive?

    I bought a WD 2 TB my drive USB of HIS passport and tried to connect to a windows 2003 64-bit server, but the drive does not appear in the list of local drive. I checked in the computer management > Device Manager > ComputerName > discs and found that there is a driver for device usb WD My Passport 0748.

    I conect the usb WD drive in my windows XP machine and copy the driver ITS \\Extras\WD device driver folder and transferred to local drive of the windows 2003 server and I tried to update the driver but the driver update failed and telling me that there are no compatible driver in the source folder.

    Here are the contents of the folder:

    wdcsam - security catalog

    wdcsam - information for installation

    wdcsam - file system

    wdcsam64 - file system

    I tried to search the site Web of WD for the compatible driver 64 bits, but, according to the Internet, the USB doesn't have a driver for windows because its use of the microsoft driver. Below are the links related to the topic of Microsoft and WD which, in my case, does not contribute to the problem.

    I recently reinstalled one of our Terminal Server Windows Server 2003 (64-bit) servers.

    There is no options on the RDP settings like what I use on other RDP to the other Terminal server sessions and is not on any other I RDP server on my client.

    I connected as other RDP clients and get with the same problem, is not a customer number
    Is there a setting on the server to disable this option?

I need for it that the applications running on the existing operating system is not compatible with 64 bit OS.

    The controller is parallel LSI. I managed to solve the problem with a little to manipulate the operating system. I had to make some registry changes (system32\config\...) and reboot several times, that upgraded with little success. Then I had to upgrade a Windows 2008 to windows 2008! Yet one more time to work things out. I know it sounded strange. At the moment he works and as I mentioned the current controller is parallel LSI. Thanks for your reply.

  • Server 2003 32-bit Enterprise only see 3 GB RAM if 8 GB is assigned in the VM

    Created a new virtual machine in Vsphere 4 using Server 2003 32-bit Enterprise. The Enterprise edition to see the extra RAM that the VM assigned but so far is only 3 GB.  I've read several things about adding something in the boot.ini file, but I don't think in this case it would be a solution, as this seems to help you overcome the problem on a Standard Edition 32 bit, not the company that should see the RAM.

    Has anyone else encountered this problem and possibly find a solution?

  • Virtual machines, run extremely slow when the console is consulted 2 virtual machines Windows Server 2008 64-bit, Windows Server 2003 32-bit, 2 VMWare for virtual machine

    I'm in a difficult situtaition here.  I am the daily contact with a new client.  My linux guy, who is also my boss who is very busy, asked me to do some research trying to find answers for what's not on this server. We have a dual Quad Core 2.5 Ghz Lenovo server with 10 GB of ram.  2 500 GB hard drives are Raid 1.  We run Virtual Server VMWare 2 on a Debian with Gnome installation as a user interface for the side of things Linux.  Grub is the boot loader. There are two virtual machines running on the server.  The one machine that serves as a domain controller is a Windows SBS 2008 Server 64 bit, and the secondary machine has no responsibility domain.  The second machine is a Windows Server 2003 32-bit.  the 10 GB of ram 6 GB is allocated to the SBS server and 4 GB to the 2003 server.

    The problem I am running into is that everything is so slow, especially if I connect remotely to do any sort of administration on the network.  Some examples of issues I've noticed is that as soon as I log on the server via Remote Desktop SBS console management Windows Server spike to 80-95% CPU usage and it will not stop unless I close the management console.  Another instance is that if I open Backup Exec 12.5 on the SBS server it will kill the speed of the processor as well.  Long story short, there are a lot of machine to do what we need to do, but something is not configured right and non of us know what it is.  Another point to note is that the server has been in production for about 3 weeks, and the server seemed to have locked up just twice.  My professional guess is that over time, some chose thing is eating causing the crash of the memory.

    Sorry I do not have much technical insight on this topic, but this is the best I have to offer.  Any questions you all have, I'll ask my people and see if I can answer, but I could really use your help here.

    Thank you in advance,

    Heath

    2 things:

    1 you really need hard drives more than 2 in a RAID 1 for proper performance under load. More disks the better. Although I don't think that's what your problem is, he'll probably be the problem Next you will do.

    2. I don't know exactly where the configuration file is on your box of Debian for VMware Server, but you should consider adding the following options in the configuration file (on windows, it's the vmware 'config.ini'):

    prefvmx.minVmMemPct = "100".

    MemTrimRate = 0

    sched.mem.pshare.Enable = "FALSE".

    mainMem.useNamedFile = "FALSE".

    If you do some research, you can read about what these options (the largest is the memory page sharing - it should only be left on if you have a bunch of similar virtual machines running on the same box, that you don't have.) I honestly know why this is on by default, he kills the CPU when virtual machines are running different operating systems). These are the options that I now use standard in VMware Server deployments, with huge performance increases after you have added the. Just give a try.

    Edit: Also make sure that you have installed in your virtual machines VMware tools.
