  Hyper-V Installation Tricks - Part 1: Sysprep and Hyper-V
Time: 02:48 EST/07:48 GMT | News Source: Microsoft | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

Mike Kolitz: Before we jump right into this, I thought it would be best if we got a few things straight. For the remainder of this post, everytime I say "sysprep," I'm referring to running Sysprep with the /generalize switch. This is the best way to make sure that the Windows installation image that you capture and apply to other systems actually works when you put it on those other systems.

For more details on what Sysprep with and without the /generalize switch does, I encourage you to read the documentation, which I have conveniently provided a hyperlink to.

So, you're planning to sysprep a Windows Server 2008 box with Hyper-V installed? Good choice. I'm sure you'll be happy with the result, but there are few things that you'll have to do to make sure Hyper-V functions properly after you apply the image to a different computer. A KB article that describes all of these things is in the works, but I thought I'd get this out in the open as soon as possible. Once the KB is available, I'll provide a link to it here.
