SysprepBinariesDirectory represents a location you choose to which to copy the binaries.
2 Run the /opt/vmware/cloud-director/deploymentPackageCreator/createSysprepPackage.sh
SysprepBinariesDirectory command.
For example, /opt/vmware/cloud-director/deploymentPackageCreator/createSysprepPackage.sh /
root/MySysprepFiles.
3 Use the service vmware-vcd restart command to restart the Cloud cell.
4 If you have multiple Cloud cells, copy the package and properties file to all Cloud cells.
scp /opt/vmware/cloud-director/guestcustomization/vcloud_sysprep.properties
/opt/vmware/cloud-director/guestcustomization/windows_deployment_package_sysprep.cab
root@
next_cell_IP
:/opt/vmware/cloud-director/guestcustomization
5 Restart each Cloud cell to which you copy the files.
Replace a Microsoft Sysprep Deployment Package
If you already created a Microsoft Sysprep deployment package and you need to generate a new one, you must
replace the existing Sysprep package on each Cloud cell in your installation.
Prerequisites
Access to the Sysprep binary files for Windows 2000, Windows 2003 (32- and 64-bit), and Windows XP (32-
and 64-bit).
Procedure
1 Use the service vmware-vcd stop command to stop the first Cloud cell.
2 Copy the new Sysprep binary files for each operating system to a convenient location on a Cloud Director
server host.
Each operating system requires its own folder.
NOTE Folder names are case-sensitive.
