    Greetings all
    I'm using a custom vb script to call Sysprep, nothing special, just using the standard windows sysprep tools. Doing this on a "Base" image to customize it for each unique parallels install. the base image among other non GUID/Machine specific installs has the Recent Version of Parallels Tools Center install, and all the Status' are set to Enable. Every time I run the sysprep, and the windows image reboots, upon logon, i go into the tools center and each time the Network Driver is disabled. I then need to re-enable it all over again. It always seems to divert back to the "Generic" Realtek network adapter which does NOT support 100mbt. I can reproduce this every single time... Does any here use sysprep, and if so, have you checked to make sure the tools portion does not have the network driver set to disable... I have tried both our Altiris image and a Disk install image, same thing. It looks like some of the entries in HKLM_ current control set, the adapters disappear. Somehow sysprep is killing the parallels "Enhanced driver"

    Parallels 3.0 5584
