Hmm,

I have greated a newpool, added a new template, but when I edit the win
dows system preparation file under the cloning Tab I get the same problem
as described earlier.

Can I run the sysprep routine manually and then add it into the VDI
Template? What options are used? Or is there a way to mount the syspreped
image to have a look at whats the .inf file without disturbing the
preparation?
