Run the Sysprep Tool on Windows 2008 R2

The regular Windows setup installs all files to perform the Sysprep process. After you configure the Windows installation, perform the following steps:

1. Change to the following directory:

   C:\Windows\system32\sysprep

2. Run the following command:

   sysprep /generalize /shutdown
   

The sysprep command prepares the image for the installation and shuts down the virtual machine. The generalize parameter removes all unique system information such as computer name, log files, restore points, and hardware-specific information.
