I booted from a VHD on my laptop and hoped to sysprep this image, but it didn't let me do it. I got a fatal error during the process. I used the following command: sysprep /generalize /shutdown. My question is it possible at all to sysprep a VHD without any HyperV or virtual PC technology?

Yes, it is possible. I've just spent a week doing it. I assume you are talking native Win7 VHD right? can you elaborate on your fatal error? i had a bunch of errors upon post-sysprep installation... and have since found virtual drivers are not a nice thing to be inside a sysprepped win7 image. (eg things like tightvnc, daemon tools, openvpn - things which create virtual drivers made my image crash). I plan on blogging the whole process complete with error fixes/resolutions etc on my blog (sillyputer.com) in the next two weeks or so. for your interest i use sysprep /generalize /oobe /shutdown /unattend:myUnattendfile.xml my unattend xml file contains a copyprofile line i have done 20-30 images or so in the last 2 weeks... my biggest tip right now seeing youre just starting to sysprep your image is to back it up before sysprepping (ie just duplicate the .vhd file) certainly makes restoring from failure much nicer. cheers Wayne. | |||
