Sysprep help....

[InflxxEC]

I am trying to deploy some VMs from a template and Sysprep. The only issue I am having is it connecting to the domain. We have numerous VLANs and I think the issue is when I create a VM for VLAN other than the one the template was created for it doesnt connect it to the domain. But if I use the VLAN that the template was created it connects to our domain fine.

Anyone know how I can get around this? I tried Editing the Settings before powering on the VM to add it in the proper VLAN but that didnt work. I also tried editing the hardware (expiremental I know) but just got an error and it didnt even create the VM.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Do you have DHCP on the VLAN and are IP addresses defintely available?

If your VM is being created and not getting an IP address when it runs through the boot process, it will not be able to join the domain.

Also, are you creating the Computer account for the VM in AD before running the deployment?
