To avoid such network or software conflicts, its recommended to customize the VM Guest during the deployment process. For Guest OS customization of virtual machines deployed from templates, vCenter requires the following:
If the guest OS is Windows, you need VMware Tools and Sysprep utils to be installed within the templates:
You will need to copy Sysprep tools to vCenter for Windows 2000, XP & 2003. Starting with Windows Vista onward, Sysprep tools are part of the base OS install.
