Now with VMWare Workstation 7 and Windows XP SP3 after syspreping a message is displayed that says the hardware has changed significantly since the first activation and Windows needs to be reactivated. After the next reboot the VM was ready for development. Developers were able to grab the virtual machine and on the first boot up sysprep would run. With Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 SP1 and Windows Virtual PC I was able to build an environment, sysprep, and leave it on the server. We use MSDN Premium licensees for developers. When a developer needs a particular environment they can just grab it off of the server and launch the virtual machine. We need a method for creating a virtual machine then leaving it on a server.
Presently almost a week is lost when modifying a developers PC for a particular environment. We develop in different and incompatible environments. I need to find a solution for developers using virtual environments with VMWare Workstation 7.
