How to Sysprep a VM (template) for vWorkspace to use
Hi Guys,
I thougth this would be the easiest part of setting up our vWorkspace environment, but apparently not!
What i'm trying to do: setup a VMWare template that vWorkspace uses as a template for creating VMs.
What I do:
1) create a win7 VM in vmware.
2) log in, run Sysprep choosing OOBE and Generalise, and shutdown
3) convert the VM into a template
4) on the vWorkspace console i try and "add computers...", choosing the above template, create a fairly benign unattend.xml using the vWorkspace interface (i don't import).
5) tell vWorkspace to create the VM
6) VMWare creates the vm, boots it up, and then it just goes to the first screen of the OOBE - asking for my name.
Am i doing something wrong? i thought at this point vWorkspace should inject the unattend.xml and customise everything? if there's something i haven't explained in detail enuogh please let me know.
Thanks!
Nick.
