Settings not taken by sysprep for w7 desktop

Latest response

Hello,

I'm testing multi domain feature.

My rhev manager 3.0 is configured also as an IPA server and DNS server and I have also configured its named.conf to forward queries for the LAB.ADTEST.ORG Win2008 R2 AD domain to its domain controller.

This way I was able to join both domains in my closed lab:

# rhevm-manage-domains -action=list
Domain: test.org
    User name: admin@TEST.ORG
    This domain is a remote domain.
Domain: lab.adtest.org
    User name: rhevadmin@LAB.ADTEST.ORG
    This domain is a remote domain.
Manage Domains completed successfully
 

rhevadmin is the user configured in AD with delegated controls for

• Join a computer to the domain.
• Modify the membership of a group.

 

From a w7 vm configured in a workgroup with some installed apps I followed instructions to make it a template, with regedit and sysprep.

I then created a cloned vm based on it, specifying the AD domain and then run once with a:\sysprep attached.

After about 5-10 minutes of applying computer settings I got a reboot and vm started but domain settings were not taken..

Where to find logs and correct on rhevm?

I found some files under c:\windows\ such as

setupact.log

bootstat.dat

TSSysprep.log

DTCInstall.log

 

I also have configured the w7 prod key and in fact I get it with

# rhevm-config -a |grep ProductKey

ProductKeyWindow7: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX version: general
 

If I try then to join the domain giving the rhevadmin user it succeeds, so it seems to me it is ok.

 

BTW: in general tab of vm in linux webadmin it says

Template: Blank

even if it was created from a template named w7template

 

A bug to report for webadmin portal tech preview: when you open once a spice console for a vm and then shutdown the vm, you are then not able to open another spice console for it (no icon appears any more). Quick logout/login fixes it as a workaround...

 

Thanks in advance,

Gianluca
