Performs guest operating system customization, configures one virtual
network card and a local administrator user account on a Windows virtual
machine.
Clone a thin provisioned
Windows machine with
single NIC and credential
Clones a Windows virtual machine performing the guest operating system
customization. Specifies virtual disk thin provisioning policy and configures
one virtual network card and a local administrator user account. Sysprep tools
must be available on the vCenter Server system.
Clone a Windows
machine Sysprep with

machine with multiple
NICs and credential
Clones a Windows virtual machine performing the guest operating system
customization. Configures the local administrator user account and up to four
virtual network cards. Sysprep tools must be available on the vCenter Server
system.
