Create windows VM II. installed host agent III. To seal a Windows virtual machine with sysprep 1. In the Windows virtual machine to be used as a template, open a command line terminal and type regedit . 2. The Registry Editor window displays. On the left pane, expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE → SYSTEM → SETUP . 3. On the main window, right click to add a new string value using New → String Value . Right click on the string value file and select Modify . When the Edit String dialog box displays, fill in the provided text boxes: * Value name: UnattendFile * Value data: a:\sysprep.xml 4. Launch sysprep from C:\Windows\System32\sysprep\sysprep.exe * Under System Cleanup Action , select Enter System Out-of-Box-Experience (OOBE) . * Tick the Generalize checkbox if you need to change the computer's system identification number (SID). * Under Shutdown Options , select Shutdown . Click OK . The virtual machine will now go through the sealing process and shut down automatically.

Hi, When i tried the above solution, i face few challanges: 1. I'm able to add VMPayload via CURL, but not via JavaSDK. 2. When i add VMPayload via CURL, sysprep fails with this message "windows could not parse or process the unattend answer file [a:\sysprep.inf] for pass [oobeSystem]. A component or setting specified in the answer file does not exist."
