NOTE:Make sure that you use the exact text string listed under the Time Zone column heading in the table included in this Microsoft article.įor sysprep on Windows Vista and later (that is, versions using unattend.xml), full string time zone names are used. See the Microsoft sysprep documentation for values (for example, 04 indicates PST, 10 indicates MST, 20 indicates Central, 35 indicates EST as defined in the Windows sysprep documentation). For sysprep on Windows versions prior to Vista, (that is, versions using sysprep.inf), numeric time zone codes are used. The Orchestration Server does not support automatic encryption of the password, so if you want to use an encrypted password, you need to know how to encrypt the password correctly for sysprep.inf, then enter it as AdminPassword.value with this flag set to false. If not set, this fact defaults to true, indicating that the AdminPassword fact is a plain text password. When this check box is selected (it has a value of true) the Admin Password value is entered in plain text. Windows sysprep requires that this be specified. This fact must be specified or the personalization fails. You should leave this field blank if Admin Password Plaintext is not selected. NOTE:Only a plaintext admin password is currently supported. Also, some versions of Windows sysprep do not support account deletion during sysprep, in which case this flag is ignored. No account deletion is done unless this fact is defined and set to true. Instead, ensure that the VM image has the required set of accounts from the beginning. (Xen) This field is deprecated for Xen sysprep. If it is false, existing accounts from the source VM are retained. (Windows with vSphere VMs) When this check box is selected (it has a value of true), the Orchestration Server removes all user accounts from the destination VM the Administrator account and other Windows “standard” accounts are left in place. This is the desired behavior for cloning a Windows machine. xml-based) sysprep, unless this fact is defined and explicitly set to false, the SID is always changed.

If this is not selected, the Orchestration Server defaults the value to true, meaning a new SID is to be generated during sysprep.įor newer (that is, unattended. If this is marked as true, sysprep generates a new Security ID. Table 12-1 Required or Optional Facts for Sysprep ConfigurationĪutomatic default value provided by the Orchestration Server 1
