Domain Join when using a Guest Customization (sysprep)

All,

I just started experimenting with using a sysprep Guest Customization with one of my View Pools, and noticed a few things:

 

Using Vista, View 4.6:

 

  • After the desktops are provisioned and boot up, they now ask me for a computer name.
    • They used to get renamed by View Manager.
  • They also no longer join the domain.
    • This used to work too.
  • After local login, they prompt me to identify the network connection as Home\Work\Public.

 

My guess is that since Sysprep is now handling the customization, View Manager will no longer name the VM's (hostname, not VM name) or join them to the domain.  I have not edited my Sysprep.inf file to have the computers renamed or joined to the domain, I was really hoping to have View Manager handle that.  I want the Virtual Machine "VM names" to match the host name as setup in the OS.

 

Is it true that I now need to rely on Sysprep to handle all of the above?  It is not super clear in the View Manager Interface.

 

Thanks,

Drew
