I have a sysprep'd W2K3 R2 server VM with OpenAFS 1.5.26.  I've added

adapter reinstalled.

Instloop does reinstall the loopback adapter but I end up with my

I too have seen this happen. Usually happens only when there are multiple NICs in a machine, either real ethernet ones or FireWire. But since you are using a VM, I bet you do not have firewire.

Try this:
Before running sysprep on the image, disable the network adapter at the VM level.

Shutdown the AFS service.
start -> run -> cmd
set DEVMGR_SHOW_DETAILS=1
set DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES=1
%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\devmgmt.msc

View -> Show hidden devices
then find and delete all NICs, including the loopback adapter

This should remove pre-configured network adapters from your syspreped image. Hopefully this will allow newly detected ones to be correctly setup and the loopback adapter install to work as desired.

That did the trick. There were a number of interfaces I wasn't able to remove but by stopping the service and removing my primary and loopback adapters instloop was able to add the loopback successfully.

Thanks,
