Hi all,
I have been deploying some pools from a Win XP SP3 template in VMview and have seen some strange things happening.
Please let me know where I could be going wrong to have caused these quirks:
1) If I deploy more than 1 machine in a pool, sometimes a random machine will not be joined to the domain after customization.
I have a local admin password set on the template machine, there is no SYSPREP folder on the machine before conversion to a template, I am using the latest sysprep files for Win XP SP3 and the sysprep files are in the correct location.
Does anyone know what may be causing some machines not to join the domain but others join ok?
2) When I create the pool, the template is cloned fine but then the new machines just sit at the login prompt. It doesn´t do anything and it won´t let me log in (it is in the pre-customization stage but won´t progress).
If I click on restart then the machine restarts and customization applies.
As mentioned above everything seems to be set up correctly but this can´t be normal behaviour.
Does anyone know what could be causing this?
Thanks in advance
Mark
