Panther logs gives me nothing at all . Tried with Quickprep and Sysprep Both No go
I think the netjoindomain is not even running
Any help would be appreciated
kb.vmware.com/kb/1028164 worked for me 🙂
Does the customization status eventually error out? Have you verified network connectivity and DNS on the clones? Is it all clones in the environment or a mixture where some work and some don't?
HI thanks for the reply
Happens for all the Virtual machines .NO Errors It just stays at customizing
DNS is fine and virtual machines Get network as well
Is the VMware Horizon View Agent service running? When I was having issues with customization, I found that the Agent service had been stopped and set to disabled by some element of the customization process. Per my post in the other thread, we have encountered issues with the VMXNET3 drivers, so you might want to use the E1000 vNIC instead.
