Windows XP Pool is not getting sealed

Latest response

Hi Team,

Thank you for your extended support as usual.

I am trying to create a pool of windows XP desktop machines for which I need to create a template and seal the template. I have followed the below steps:

  1. Download sysprep to the virtual machine to be used as a template.
    1. The Windows XP Sysprep tool is available at: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=11282
    2. Create a new folder c:\sysprep.
    3. Open the deploy.cab file and put its contents in c:\sysprep.
    4. Execute sysprep.exe from within the folder. Click OK on the welcome message.
    5. The Sysprep tool displays.
    6. Select the following check boxes:
      Don't reset grace period for activation
      Use Mini-Setup
    7. Ensure that the Shutdown mode is set to Shut down before clicking Reseal
    8. Acknowledge the pop-up window. The virtual desktop will go through the sealing process and then shut down automatically

rhevm-config -s ProductKey=XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX (THE WINDOWS XP SERIAL KEY) --cver=general
service jbossas restart

Now whenever I start the virtual dekstop from the pool, still I have to update every guest dekstop machine with the Serial key of windows XP however I have already sealed the template with the same.

Kindly suggest.

Thanks,
Ashish
