I'm not aware of any functinality issues. Why?:)

Comment 2 Ondra Machacek 2016-03-18 07:17:40 UTC
I can't use sysprep. I've tried sysprep of Windows8 and windows 2012R2, none of them worked.

# ls /usr/share/ovirt-engine/conf/sysprep/

then please report sysprep issues. Please define what was not working, etc. Assumption is to use the closes general Windows version to your specific version, in this case this means Windows 8 OS type.

windows8.1 error running windows8 sysprep

This screenshot is running Windows8 sysprep with Windows8.1 image. There is an parsing issue of xml. Not 
sure how to fetch more details about that error, if I can help any further let me know.

Oh, I've found out the issue. My vm was named something like 'win8.1_64b', but computer name of windows 
can't have '.' in name. So it's actually bug in regex of vm name field of windows vms. I am closing this one.

Windows8 sysprep works fine with Windows8.1 image. (if you don't have '.' in name :))
