Sysprep Problem

eugpol — Wed, 10 Sep 2014 18:51:12 GMT

Guys,

I am trying to create a floating pool using sysprep. I created a customization specification in vCenter. However after the pool is created and I try to connect to virtual desktop I see the login name to_be_default. What am I doing wrong?

What desktop OS? Are you using the VCSA? If so, have you copied the sysprep files to it?

OS is Windows 7, no VCSA. I have a parent machine which I've been using for different kinds of testing, everything works with Quickprep. This time I decided to go with Sysprep and created a new spec in vCener Customization Spec Manager.

I've never heard of "to_be_default", but a quick google search shows... Here&#39;s how to create a Default Profile in Win 7 without using SysPrep and avoiding issues

Are you sure this wasn't implemented by someone in your org on your parent/template image? Maybe create a new template from a clean ISO and try it again to see if it's the spec or the image.

I have a parent machine with a default profile which I modified slightly, but there are no other accounts on the machine other than Administrator, it is a domain machine I am the only person who is working with View, it is still in testing phase. As I mentioned everything works fine with Quickprep, I created dozens of various pool. It happens only when I try to use Sysprep as follows, as simple as it gets. Please take a look.

I found the problem. It is because I modified default Windows profile by copying files and changing permission. It is a bad idea. The only clean way to do it is Sysprep. Any other way will give you a headache sooner or later.
