VMware View Linked Clones: Infinite Sysprep reboots

$

Hi,

 

I'm testing out a new VMware View 5.1 installation and having issues with the customization process

 

I have created a Windows XP Gold Image with the following relevant specifications

 

Windows XP Service Pack 3

Applied all Windows Updates

Disabled Windows Firewall

VMXnet 3 Virtual Adapter

Installed the KB944043

Installed the VMware Agent 5.1.1 (after the KB944043 applied)

 

I'm using a Virtual Distributed switch with ephemeral ports in vsphere 5.1

 

I release the IP and shutdown the VM

 

Take a snapshot of the VM named "TEST"

 

In View Manager I created a pool "TEST" using Linked Clones, point it at my snapshot "TEST" and use a sysprep customisation I created not quickprep

 

This is what happens

 

1. View Composer clones the VM to a  replica

2. View Composer adds the PC names into Active Directory

3. after the VM's are all created they boot up, sysprep runs and reseals and reboots

 

4. I see a "VMware customizing in process"

5. Windows XP Mini-Setup runs

6. VM reboots

 

then it loops from number 4 through to 6 over and over

 

any one seen this one and got some tips?

 

Cheers.
