Hi,
I have a template (window's) that I have created from a running VM( wokring windows 2k3 OS).
I have copied the sysprep files in the required folder in Vcenter so that when I create a VM from this template it give me option to customize it
When I select customize is ask me customization parameters and prepares that machine.
While it prepares I have noted that :-
1) First that template is copied and a VM is created
2) This new VM is power on
3) Then it shows ctrl + alt + delete screen for sometime and then it is shutdown
4) VM is power up again and then required customization parameters are set , and a new VM is ready
For step 3 , I quickly login to the system and saw that sysperp was run in that instance
I tried to found different ways by which a file can be executed without login in a windows VM/machine but was unsuccessful
My question here is how does this sysperp.exe is executed without login in to the VM. ?
Does Vcenter/ESX server mounts that template and do some changes in the template , where can I see that chage ?
Thanks
