Windows 2008 R2 DataCenter model

Hello

I would like to know, when I create a model of Windows 2008 r2 DataCenter, I need to delete VM tools?

With the help of Microsoft sysprep is a good idea or better to use VMware Guest customization?

I have 5.0 vSphere update 1 install again today.

Thank you

Yes, VMware tools must be installed on all the comments of the OS in my opinion.

For W2K8 and above, we use the VMware comments customization process, which uses the integrated to W2K8 R2 sysprep process.  So, when you are finished with you 'gold image', just stop it, no need for Windows sysprep.  Then, create customization specifications, before or during the deployment out of the pattern and use it.

Good luck!

  • 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

  • Windows 2008 R2 DataCenter registry problem

    Hi all:

    A few months ago, I needed to make a full upward from my server and after that almost all still works fine besides that some functions including IE.

    The question I had is with 298 ordinal which is not found in the library iertudil.dll dynamics.

    I can confirm that the iertudil.dll file exists under System32 and tried to replace it with the original installation of the DVD where it was damaged but not yet lucky. I know that I have no malware or viruses that I ran full scans and this issue has happened after the back upward.

    So at this point, I'm sure that the problem is related with the registry key bad that was left when I did the back upward by up to 100%. I would like to make a correction of the registry software and I actually found a good which is accredited by Microsoft, but the problem is I managed to install the correction of the registry software, but if I try to run it, it won't work and it appears that the message '298 ordinal. "that cannot be found in the dynamic link library iertudil.dll

    I'm a bit on a dead end here because I can't run the program to try to repair the registry and looks like the only option is to go into the registry and try to fix it manually. Only problem is that I don't know where to find them and what would be the key to get rid of all bad registry entries.

    Given that I'm avoiding at all costs a repair of windows or pure full install as that would make me a lot of time down on my server, I want to ask if there is no genius out there who could point me where to find this iertudil on the register and the values should be there so I can modify it. Of course, I'll do a registry backup before committing any changes. If anyone can help, I'd appreciate that after googling for hours I can't find all the instructions for a manual registry fix. I'm on a Windows 2008 R2 DataCenter X 64 bit system

    Thanks in advance.

  • Models of Windows 2008

    It has been a while, but I thought that when I was working for vSphere 4.1 a Windows 2008 with no model making of sysprep.   Seems I remember that there is no need to copy the Sysprep files into the sysprep vCenter folder.   It tells me that Windows 2008 needs to have the sysprep files copied to the sysprep folder in vCenter.  Is this correct?

    That's right-

  • Windows 2008 R2 NIC disconnected when converting from a model and started using workflow start-vm in VCO

    Hello

    Have a very strange problem. I wanted to apply patches using a VCO on my model R2 2012 Windows workflow and Windows 2008 R2 models. My model of Windows 2008 R2 when converted and started by the workflow VCO does NOT get an ip address. Yet, when I manually turn on the model of Windows 2008 R2 after be converted manually, it gets an ip address immediately. So weird.  There is no problem with 2012 Windows, it works very well. NOTE: The workflow that starts the virtual machine only turns on (and is built in the workflow built by vmware) Finally, today I built a new model and has the same problem. NIC is VMXNET3 and problem seems of course specific OS, has anyone seen this before?

    Thank you

  • Windows 2008 model

    I need set the default user for each user, I get the same profile in the windows 2008 r2 in EXSi 5.1 model.

    I found how to, where he is said to use utility Sysprep before converting machine 'model' but I thought it was "deploy the vm model" function to use sysprep.

    C:\windows\system32\sysprep\sysprep.exe  /generalize /unattend:unattend.xm

    OK, let me rephrase it:

    Sysprep is useful before conversion to the model because it allows for the virtual machine in a "clean" State This means that even if it should go through sysprep again, using a Customization Wizard (in the menu where you set your IP, etc.) / customization specification, (screenshot here: http://www.alexwho.com/.a/6a0133f4036f7f970b019b00093755970b-pi) but you can also choose to simply "redeploy" the model just with plain 'don't customize' option in the deployment model.

    In short, sysprepping any virtual machine for the use of the model is advised that cleans the system for its subsequent cloning - it gets rid of superfluous objects.

  • model of vSphere with windows 2008 R2 deployment

    Hi guys.

    I'm going around in circles at the moment.

    I will deploy windows 2008 R264-bitStandard. I have bought the relevant VL MAK and won't use KMS.

    So the questions I have are:

    When you create a model I should activate the model and deploy?

    As far as I know, this would lead to kick in the activation process.

    Should I deploy and activate?

    I was wondering if someone has managed to create a customization script to prevent the reactivation or automate?

    Thank you

    Dougie

    We do activation at the end for each computer virtual created from the template. keeps things simple for now.

  • Error cloning/Templating Windows 2008

    I just put in place a new system and I have installed Win 2008 R2, Datacenter Edition on a cluster of ESXi 4.0 host computer.

    Before I installed VM Tools in the comments, I could clone on the model (normal clone). However, as soon as I install the VM tools, I get the error attached almost immediately after the start of the process.

    The other strange thing is that I can snapshot of the virtual machine (using the Snapshot Manager) no problem.

    I noticed other people have had problems with this in win 2003 and I played with the options of VSS in the prompt - as suggested. It doesn't seem to be errors in the event if Viewer.

    Any ideas?

    Hi, I had the same problem, and I solved it install Windows 2008 R2.

    You can try to clone the wen VM that the virtual machine is turned off and this medication would be ok.

    The problem is that the clone when the virtual machine is turned off tried to squiece the guest operating system and which do not.

    Remember that windows 2008 R2 is supported, bat is still experimental.
