Automated Provisioning from automated pools

[maliaga]

I am provisioning some virtual windows XP machines using View 5 automated pools. To create the VMs, I am using a window XP template and customization specifications. The process starts and the Windows XP are cloned (3 VMS), after some process, all the VMs displays the message "Files Needed: The file 'c_20127.nls' on Windows XP professional Cd-ROM is needed." It seems that the *.iso file from the parent VM, it does not inheret the child. Does anybody know any workaround?

Welcome!!!

verify if you have a sysprep in correct location in vcenter.

Welcome to the forums.   Is this a linked clone pool or full machine pool?

The sysprep expanded deploy.cab file was placed on C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware VirtualCenter\sysprep\xp

I am sorry I am not sure, i selected from Inventory>pools Add>Automated Pool>dedicated> etc.  On the vCenter I have a Windows XP Prof template as well as a customization file.

Have you used nLite to optimize your windows xp install?

Then that is the problem, there is a bug in nLite that removes to much files and then it will not work to sysprep the image.
