Hi,
I've cretated a template which has sysprep.
Every document about sysprep says use "Attach Floppy" , but we know this
function has been disabled/deprecated
So, when i use Run One, attach windows cdrom and put in it definitions (domain name, user
credentials etc) , nothing happens.
I also have correct properties and sysprep files in engine
Just windows boot like it is new machine and ask lots of questions for prepare itself.
Would someone please explain this?
How can i run sysprep correctly?

Please read

Documentation has been updated a few weeks ago with instructions.

Thanks for response,
I've rad this docs several times.
If you check "7.9.1. Configuring Sysprep on a Template" it says "Attach
Floppy", but there is no Floppy options.
I've figured out something.
If i use only initial boot sysprep enable option, after booting there is no change but i
can see addtional cdrom device that has unattend.xml file

Hi,
We removed the floppy option and added an additional cd rom that contains
the Unattend.xml file. You can still use the Unattend.xml file from the
additional CD ROM in order to seal the OS via the sysprep tool.
The floppy drive was removed because it is outdated technology.
Thank you for your enquiry.
With Best Regards.
Steven Rosenberg.

Hi,
I've edited osconfig 00-defaults.properties and sysprep.w10x64 files
After sealed w10 by using "sysprep /generalize /oobe /shutdown" command i'm
using run ones/initial boot/sysprep
But windows passes the process and booted like a new machine.
If i sysprep the template like ""sysprep /generalize /oobe /shutdown
/unattend:D:\unattend.xml" and run the vm with sysprep option, it takes and applies
only few options like create username not joindomain or productkey.
Is there any proper guide to do sysprep on oVirt?
By the way i've already red official guide
Thanks for help
2:58 a.m.
Hi,
You could use reboot. The idea of sealing is that one sets say the time
zone differently via run once, runs the VM, verify that the Unattend.xml
file does have the selected time zone, run the sysprep with generalize and
reboot and upon rebooting the OS should be set to the proper time zone.
Maybe you can clarify what you expect from sysprep.
With Best Regards.
Steven Rosenberg.

thanks for reply,
I've made a template W10 and sealed with sysprep generize.
After now, we want to use this template for new user vms.
For example, a user wants a vm for personnel usage.
I create a new vm from template which sealed.
after creation, we want to customize this vm for the person by using sysprep.
Change Windows pc name, join domain and assign to specific OU

you can see the resulting unattend.xml, that’s all that we do, if windows is not happy
with it you’d need to dig into logs
if you modified the template(and even if you didn’t, but it still doesn’t really work) you
would have to check windows what’s failing. They keep changing the options and behavior
between versions way too often and we don’t have automated tests for each and every
sysprep option, so it could be that the particular setting in a particular windows version
doesn’t work correctly.
Thanks,
michal

Hi,
OK, it sounds like you should create a VM set to a Windows OS via the
Webadmin (such as in edit). run with Run Once, choose initial run and check
the sysprep check box. Then you can set any configuration you want, run the
VM, seal with sysprep and reboot. After that create a template from the VM.
Then you can use the template to create the VMs you need.
I believe this should clarify the functionality.
With Best Regards.
Steven Rosenberg.

H,
I might have found a solution.
After your reply, i've tested reboot option . It does not work normally
But, if i seal vm in audit mode, these steps works;
- boot vm "run ones" mode and sysprep enabled
- run sysprep like this "C:\Windows\System32\Sysprep\sysprep.exe /oobe /generalize
/reboot /unattend:D:\Unattend.xml"
after reboot vm will be configured as in Unattend.xml whis is made by ovirt-engine as we
configured in osconfigure and syspre.w10x64 files.
This is the only way i've 'found for now.
The key thing is showing the unattend.xml file whic is in virtual DVDROM Drive.
Windows caches xml file for using next reboot.
I'm not sure but it can cause security issue if this files be cached in windows
permanently. I'll check this out.
