Sysprep does not seem to be available

Hi,

 

A relative new VMWare vSphere environment with 3 ESXi 4.1 servers and one (virtual) vSphere server.

The vSphere server is a Windows 2008 R2 Ent server.

I am using the vSphere client local on the vSphere server but using the client on my laptop produces the same result.

I have installed all the proper sysprep versions in C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware VirtualCenter\sysprep\

 

I want to clone a production server XXXserver and rename it to YYYserver

The production server is part of a Windows AD and is Running Windows 2003 R2 Enterpise

 

When I start to configure the clone operation options I end up at the screen where I need to enter the new server name etc. but...

Windows customization resources were not found on the server

 

Which resources need to be on the running server, Sysprep? Is that not why I installed all Sysprep versions in the C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware VirtualCenter\sysprep\ folder in the first place? Or do I need to copy them somewhere else?

 

According to http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1005593 I have done everything as I should.

 

I've also shut down the Windows server before trying to clone it but that too had the same result.

What am I missing, what am I doing wrong?
