Customization of Windows 2003 SP1, SP2 and R2

[ferdis]

Hi all,

how to solve customization when I got all versions Windows 2003 SP1, SP2 and R2 in one vCenter? Becouse VMware KB Sysprep file locations and versions http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1005593 is telling that for 32bit Windows 2003 customization you got only one folder C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VMware\VMware VirtualCenter\Sysprep\svr2003 in vCenter. So if I got multiple 32bit versions of Windows 2003 what version of sysprep should I copy to svr2003 folder in vCenter? 5.2.3790.1830 made for SP1 or 5.2.3790.3959 which is made for SP2 and R2? I logically suppose that 5.2.3790.3959. But is sysprep which is made for SP2 and R2 ok for SP1?

Thank you very much.

Regards.

The sysprep files for R2 will work for all W2K3 versions with the exception of 64bit.  So, place the sysprep files in the svr2003 directory.
