Vmware Vcenter Converter Mac Os X

Posted on  by 



VMware vCenter Standalone Converter platforms support goes almost with the vSphere version, so if you need to support vSphere 6.0, you will need the Converter 6.0 version. But for the supported guest OSes it could become more complicated, because new version add new OSes, but also remove the old OSes (no more supported by the vendor). Use the VMware vSphere ® Web Client. You can navigate to the system configuration settings of the vCenter Server Appliance and join the appliance to an Active Directory domain. You can manage the services that are running in the vCenter Server Appliance and modify various settings such as access, network, and firewall settings.

Symptoms

  • When attempting to customize the deployment of a virtual machine, the radio buttons are disabled (grayed out).
  • When a virtual machine is deployed from a template, the SID is always the same, despite the fact that you chose the option to generate a new SID during template deployment and guest operating system customization.
  • When attempting to create a new virtual machine from a template in vCenter Server,you see the error:

    Warning: Windows customization resources were not found on this server

  • When you ignore the errors, the virtual machine deployment does not get customized

Purpose

This issue may occur if Microsoft’s Sysprep files are not found on the vCenter Server host, are not the correct version, or are not in the location they are expected.
This article provides information on the process of determining the correct version of Sysprep to use and the correct locations for these files.

Resolution

Vmware Vcenter Converter Standalone

Microsoft has a different version of Sysprep for each release and service pack of Windows. You must use the version of Sysprep specific to the operating system you are deploying.The differences are not immediately visible in the packaging and documentation of the service packs, so it is necessary to manually investigate.
The contents of the Sysprep deploy.cab file must be extracted to the Sysprep Directory on the vCenter Server host.
If the file downloaded from the Microsoft Web Site is a .cab file, the Installing the Microsoft Sysprep Tools in the Virtual Machine Administration guide details how to install the Sysprep Tools.

If the file downloaded from the Microsoft Web Site is a .exe file, these additional steps must be executed to extract the files from the .exe:
  1. Open a Windows command prompt. For more information, see Opening a command or shell prompt (1003892).
  2. Change to the directory where the .exe file is saved.
  3. Enter the name of the .exe file with the /x switch to extract the files. For example:

    WindowsServer2003-KB926028-v2-x86-ENU.exe /x

  4. When prompted, choose a directory for the extracted files.
  5. Browse the directory and double-click the deploy.cab file.

    Note: In some cases, the deploy.cab file may be located within one of the subfolders created in Step 3.

  6. Select and copy all the files to the Sysprep Directory and insert them into the correct folder. For example, if you are using Windows 2003, insert the files to the Windows 2003 folder found located at directory_pathsvr2003.
When the contents of the of the Sysprep deploy.cab file have been extracted to the Sysprep Directory on vCenter Server:

  4. Right-click on the Sysprep .exe file and choose Properties.
  5. Click the Version tab. Record the number at the top next to File Version:.

  • If vCenter Server is installed on Windows Server 2008 and above, directory_path is%ALLUSERSPROFILE%VMwareVMware VirtualCenterSysprep which generally translates toC:ProgramDataVMwareVMware VirtualCenterSysprep by default.

    Note: C:ProgramData may be a hidden folder.

  • If vCenter Server is installed on any other Windows operating system, directory_path is%ALLUSERSPROFILE%Application DataVMwareVMware VirtualCenterSysprep which generally translates toC:Documents and SettingsAll UsersApplication DataVMwareVMware VirtualCenterSysprep by default.
  • To check the SID of a server deployed from a template, you can use the PsGetSid. For more information, seehttp://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897417.
