More Information

MED-V relies on a properly configured sysprep.inf in order to complete the MED-V Packaging and First Time Setup experience. Some configuration properties specified in the sysprep.inf file may be reset with settings specified during MED-V workspace packaging. When troubleshooting packaging and first time setup failures it may be necessary to check the Sysprep.inf for MED-V required configuration settings. Those items highlighted in green are required for MED-V. The absence of these items will cause setup to fail. Those items highlighted in yellow may be reset by MED-V workspace package configuration
