Customization fails after VC 2.5 Upgrade

I’m going to upgrade my Virtual Center next week, this is a really good tip to keep handy.

A few people have notice that since upgrading to Virtualcenter 2.5 deploying a Windows 2003 VM from template no longer gives them the ability to customize. The option is disabled.

The fix for this is simple. You need to grab the new deployment tools from Microsoft’s site here also referred to as the sysprep files. You will be downloading WindowsServer2003-KB892778-SP1-DeployTools-x86-ENU.cab

This file needs to be extracted on the Virtualcenter server and placed in the following folder-

All Users\Application Data\Vmware\VirtualCenter\sysprep\svr2003

Once these files exist in the correct folder, you will be able to deploy your W2K3 template.

For more details read the Virtual Center 2 Template Usages and Best Practices http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vc_2_templates_usage_best_practices_wp.pdf

Free utility: MC-WOL

Very nice, this tool will be a great addition for our Altiris admin. Now we just have to make sure WOL is enabled in the bios of our Dell machines.

This small command line utility makes possible to switch on a computer from a second one by sending a "Magic Packet". Both of computers can be located on the same LAN or on the different LAN segments.

5 Best Freeware Games of 2005

Here’s a few free games, some are multi-player for your next lan party, I’d include wolfenstein enemy territory and American’s Army for free multi-player games.

There have been lots of great freeware games in 2005 and I decided to present you the five best ones. The games include strategy games, action games, ego shooters and adventures. Should be something for every taste. The freeware scene has developed in the last years producing bigger and better looking games that can sometimes even be compared to commercial products that have been released this year.

Equal justice…What!

I haven’t addressed this issue yet, but…after reading this site. I have to give my 2 cent$

I have no opinion on his guilt or innocence, given that there are no facts yet out about the case. What I do find reprehensible, irresponsible, and criminal are the attempts to post the accusers name, address, photo, and other… A Quick Thought On Kobe Bryant Case

ok, so this person is upset by people posting the accuser’s name and photos….I ask what about Kobe? If he is innocent, his life and career have already been tarnished. His career is on hold, he has to deal with constant questions and dirty looks. Yet the accuser remands hidden and protected. What a load of crap. So Kobe and his family have to deal with all this crap, even before Kobe has been found guilty or innocent.

As I continue to read my RSS feeds in Sharpreader. I found another link about kobe, I’m sure there are tons of them, but I thought this was a good post.
