We're testing the RCU 3.0, but we have some problems with flexcloning.

Each time we make a new flexclone pool, the name of the virtual machine has the same name like the template, so they also aren't added to the AD. We use a custom sysprep answer file, where we specified the computer name like this: ComputerName=*

During the process we're getting the following problems:

  • Customize virtual machine guest OS - A specified parameter was not correct. nicsettings:adapter:ip

  • Cannot complete customization.

Should the Admin specified in the sysprep file be a full Domain Admin, or an admin on the local virtual machine?

Here is our sysprep file, maybe we made a mistake, could someone help please?
