Fatal Error using sysprep in a VM in a ESXi 5.0 Host

[javrob]

I have a vm running Windows 2008 R2 and I trying to use sysprep to change SID but I get a fatal error. I need to chenge the SID.

Any suggestion??

are you using vCenter and the customization specifications or are you trying to use sysprep within the guest?

Yes I ran slmgr /dlv but the remaining Windows rearm count is 3. I used sysprep within the guest

do you have vCenter?  If so, don't sysprep the guest, run your customization through vCenter and it's customization specifications.

Few hours ago, I ran customization through vCenter but it didn't funtion. I selected the option Gnerete New Security ID (SID) but it din't generate a New SID. When I run PSgetSID I got the same SID than my other VM. For that reason I can't join this VM to the domain, I need to do that.
