vCenter Converter Standalone and Windows 2008 R2 sysprep

Has anyone had success in sysprepping Windows 2008 images while deploying with vCenter Converter Standalone. I have the sysprep files for Windows 2008 and placed them in the vCenter Converter sysprep folder under C:\Doc Settings\All Users.Windows\Application Data\VMware\VMware vCenter Converter Standalone\sysprep in several different folders trying to find the right syntax for the 2008 specific sysprep folder. Closed converter and restarted the converter services. The option to customize is still greyed out.

TIA

E.H.

Location of sysprep in Windows 2008 is C:/ProgramData/VMware/Infrastructure/VirtualCenter/sysprep

Failing that, I've run Converter from 2003 targeting 2008 without any issue. Make sure you've got the latest version
