Today, while getting ready to deploy an updated Citrix farm for a set of Line of Business applications, I got an error during the sysprep process.  The machine in question is a 2008 64 bit machine.  It has Citrix and all the applications installed.  It is also a Hyper-V VM.  <\/p>\n

I created an answer file and when I run Sysprep I get a popup that says:  A fatal error occurred while trying to sysprep the machine.<\/p>\n

Hmm..  so I look at the logs and here is what I find:<\/p>\n

I found lots of references to Windows Media Player, and that you can\u2019t have sharing enabled.  Not a problem on this machine.  Not any help either.  <\/p>\n

I did find this article helpful: http:\/\/myit4u.wordpress.com\/2010\/03\/17\/launchdll-could-not-load-dll-drmv2clt-dll\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Guess what?! Those aren\u2019t shown in on a Windows Server 2008! Our workaround was to install the Desktop Experience feature on the server.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I added the \u201cDesktop Experience\u201d feature did the sysprep and then uninstalled it on each of the new machines.  Rather a pain, but I didn\u2019t have a lot of time to work on figuring out a better answer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
