VDI 3.1: Sysprep for Windows 7 keeps failing

807797Dec 11 2009 — edited Dec 18 2009

I am doing a PoC at a customer and for reasons I do not understand the cloning of Windows 7 Enterprise keeps failing. When I apply the system preparation settings and enable cloning, then VirtualBox powers up those clones ... but they seem to be doing nothing, they just sit there. I used "rdesktop" and connected to those sessions (the VRDP port was easy to find via VirtualBox's GUI) and there is just the login mask which is pre-set to the local user I used during the installation from the Windows 7 *.ISO image, but nothing else seems to be happening in there.

I followed the instructions here:
http://72.5.124.69/display/VDI3dot1/How+to+Enable+System+Preparation+for+Windows+Templates+(VirtualBox+and+Hyper-V)

Cloning Linux was sooo much easier BTW, it just worked. But Windows is such a pain ...

Anyone have any hints?

Thanks in advance,

DJ.
