[wds] Strange problem with Windows 7 64bit image

[Bagpuss66]

We have a Windows 7 64bit image on WDS. The image works fine, we can re-image machines on our network with no issues.

Problem is that every time we update the image on VMware and test the image through WDS it knocks one of our machines off the network.

There are 10 other machines with 64bit images and they are unaffected.

We run sysprep when creating the image but for some strange reason this one machine has to be added back onto the network.

Any ideas?

Have you got the name set in your answer file. WDS should manage the naming of your workstation however if you have a name specified in your answer file it will override it.

Remember if you change your answer file you need to reattach it to the image for the changes to take affect. Then reimage your machine again

Hi will try this. It could be that we have mixed up the original answer file with a later version. Thank you for the help.

Every time you update the image? Are you using snapshots and is the VM already joined to the domain?
