Hello There,
I have been working on this issue for a long time now but couldn't fix it.
Please help me
When I use a template to clone and use Customization option , Sysprep runs fine and I am able to join the machine to the AD domain without any issue.
This tells me that the template is good and the files on the vcenter server are fine.
But When I use Orchestrator to sysprep the same template and join the machine to the domain , it fails.
It does the clone part fine but doesn't join the machine to the domain.
I am given to understand that Orchestrator will use the mini setup answer file to Sysprep.
I created it. Looks Like :
;SetupMgrTag
[Unattended]
OemSkipEula=Yes
InstallFilesPath=C:\sysprep\i386
[GuiUnattended]
AdminPassword="howru$%#"
EncryptedAdminPassword=NO
OEMSkipRegional=1
TimeZone=190
OemSkipWelcome=1
[UserData]
ProductKey=#$%-56$-6$%^-J#$@T-*&^$

OrgName="System"
ComputerName=*

[SetupMgr]
DistFolder=C:\sysprep\i386
DistShare=windist
[Identification]
JoinDomain=bruaah.co.in
DomainAdmin=custo
DomainAdminPassword=yeahrite$%^
[Networking]
InstallDefaultComponents=Yes
The Workflow I use is "Clone, Windows Sysprep with single NIC and credential"
It clones the machine fine but Sysprep doesn't seem to work and it doesn't bring the machine to the AD Domain.
I have changed the resource path to point to the correct inf file.
It fails when it is at :
Wait for a given name in the DNS guest informations (Vmware Tools)
And Eventually says
[2012-05-21 11:08:43.018] [I] Timeout: Unable to get a DNS name for the VM before reaching the Timeout (Dynamic Script Module name : vim3WaitDnsNameInTools#38)
I have ESX 4.1 Version
Thanx in advance
