Windows 2008 R2 sysprep

Hello,

i have trouble with sysprep.

If i clone a vm with paravirtual scsi driver, sysprep does not work correct. No hardware config, no hostname and network config!

Sometime i also get an bluescreen (Don´t remeber stop code) after first reboot.

With LSI Logic driver all works fine. Looks like a issue between sysprep and paravirtual scsi.

Can someone agree with me?

We use vcenter 5 and exsi5...

i can see why this would not work since the paravirtual adapter does not have a native driver.  will be interested to know the answer to this.

Hi

You must configure the virtual machine that hosts View Transfer  Server with an LSI Logic Parallel SCSI controller. You cannot use a SAS  or VMware paravirtual controller. On Windows Server 2008 virtual machines, the LSI Logic SAS controller  is selected by default. You must change this selection to an LSI Logic  Parallel controller before you install the operating system.
