• Sysprep in Windows 2008 r2

  Hello.. I created a new vmguest under windows 2008 R2. I'm ready to make the model, but do not know if I should run the sysprep process

  (found in C:\windows\system32\sysprep

  before or after that I converted the vm to the model...

  I think before given that this model will be used to create additional machines...

  Thank you

  All you need to do is build your server as a base, complete, any type of machine and then set it as a model without running sysprep on it.  As the other poster noticed you can deploy model via vCenter which, if you copy the files on the vCenter Server 2008 sysprep (directions on how to do that here - http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r40_u1/vsp_40_u1_admin_guide.pdf (pg 327)).  It will actually go through the customization process and run sysprep for you whenever you deploy from this model.

  Don't not running sysprep before make you a template also helps because you can change it to a virtual machine, power up, make changes / install updates to it then it switch back to an extremely easy model.  This way your model is always day and ready to leave.

• Windows 2008 R2 deployment from template

  When I deploy Windows 2008 R2 of model of what I need to run the customization or since windows 2008 sysprep a file it will generate the new sid on the bottom? or what I have to go to the system32\sysprep directory and run sysprep once deployed?

  You need not run Sysprep. Windows 2008 sysprep, it will generate a new SID.

• Windows 2008 VM

  I want to create a Windows 2008 VM model.   Anyone know where I can get the Sysprep for Windows 2008 files?   I heard that sysprep is integrated with Windows 2008.  Is this correct?  If so, do we not have SYSPReP files?

  for vCenter Update 2.5 4, customization on win2k8 VM is supported.

• Windows 2008 R2 Sysprep

  I built a Windows 2008 R2 model and want to deploy virtual machines of this model, my question is how can I sysprep Windows 2008 R2? I'm in vCenter 4.1 in Windows 2008 R2... ESXi 4.1.

  Hello.

  You need not do anything extra on the side of vCenter.  Just go through the Customization Wizard.

  Good luck!

  Nice day

  I'm trying to find documentation on how to Win 2008 R2 sysprep. Has anyone encountered this or anyone has done this before? any help will be much appreciated.

  Concerning

  David

  Here is a good guide, although not for R2, the customization process works the same way.  Create your model, then stop it.  Create a customization specification in vCenter and deploy using that.  The process of customizing VMware will do the rest

  Thank you

  Hi Andre,

  so when I deploy a vm from a 2008 model I can customize the virtual machine, including the new SSID without any additional file to be copied into the directory of vcenter?

  This is because win 7, 2008 and 2008 R2 have also installed Sysprep?

  Thank you very much

• How to enable the Windows 2008 R2 guest operating systems on Windows 2008 R2 Datacenter edition host

  Sorry, I realize it is there much written and blogged about activation and license but I still cannot grasp exactly what to do, please can you help me.

  I have a host running windows 2008 R2, datacenter edition.  The 2008 datacenter edition license allows any number of windows OS to run on this host (will run for most 2008R3 standard edition) so I guess (I hope correctly) that I don't need to buy more licenses.

  So my question is, when these comments of the virtual machines are created, how can I activate them?  What product key should be used?   I have a product key for data center edition, but it does not work "the product key you entered will not work with this edition of windows server 2008 R2.

  Thank you if you can let me know if there is a way (or ways) for the operating systems Windows Server activated running on datacenter edition.

  Best regards

  Jules
