This is not a generic message from VMware view....Are you sure you turned off automatic updates....Can you post a screenshot

It's not a message from Windows Update, but a result from finding new hardware. The new hardware is the delta disk, that 's created by Composer. I have the same issue, and was unable to really solve it. Should be fixed when W7 is officially supported..

My workaround is now a post script in the pool that reboots the VM when Composer is finished. (shutdown /r /d P:0:0 /t 0)

Actually, that single line in my previous post is my script. So I just put "shutdown /r /d P:0:0 /t 0" in a batchfile called "Post.bat". I than kickoff this script in the pool under QuickPrep settings \ Post synchronization script. I put it in a directory on the local filesystem of the VM.

I don't quite get your question. Does the post script not work?
