Oh how could I forget this… Today I was working on syspreping some Windows 7 x86 VM’s that I built earlier in the week. For what ever reason they kept getting stuck in the sysprep process and I couldn’t figure out why. I checked the logs and there wasn’t much that stud out in them …

Here are the slides for my VMworld Community Presentation powered by vBrownbag on VDP.
