Hi! Great blog, I thought I would just add that I have a similar script, but normally have a section that deals with AntiVirus uniquenesses. As an example for Sophos I stop the Sophos Services, then delete some identity specific registry entries and an ini file to enable the PVS’d device to properly register with the AV management console once it reboots.

Happy to share these if there is any interest.

Hi,

1. Switch the image to private mode – reboot
2. Join the domain and reboot
3. Install the tool and select PVS Cloning – shutdown
4. Switch back to shared image mode

If you still have problems it´s probably due to password sync, try reset the password in PVS Console. Try this and provide more information if you still have problems.

[...] Many of the Best Practices modification are included in Provisioning Services Optimization Tool. One of these settings are disabling the Automatic Updates Service. To run Windows Update on your vDisk you will need to set the service startup to Automatically, start the service and run Windows Update. One of my recently added Must Have tools are WUinstall which automatically download and install Windows Updates from Microsoft or your internal Windows Updates Services with one command. I have added this to my build script, take a look at my previous blog post “Prepare a Provisioning Services Private vDisk for Shared vDisk“. [...]

I see you don’t get many comments around here – which is entirely unfair, since it’s a GREAT BLOG!

Thanks for these tips – they came at a very timely point for me (we’re currently doing Xendesktop experiments for some very interested customers).
