Copying Sysprep files on a 2008 Virtual Center

Just a quick post, today I needed to start rolling out some XP desktops from a template for a new View install. When I came to install the XP sysprep files on the Windows 2008 Virtual Center I soon realised there was no all users folder in the users folder on the C: drive. After a bit of hunting and reading the VMware documentation which didn’t appear to help i reverted to twitter. Many thanks to Jonathan Medd for the answer below.

RT @jonathanmedd @VirtualisedReal C:\ProgramData is a hidden folder on 2008 which is the equivalent of C:\Documents and Settings\All Users on 2003

Alan Renouf was also quick to point out the following

RT AlanRenouf @jonathanmedd @VirtualisedReal Or on either server type %ALLUSERSPROFILE% into the explorer window and you will get to the correct place 😉

Cheers everyone for the input

    For those of you not old enough to remember the good old days of DOS and strugling for base memory you can type SET at a dos prompt to get a full list of env variables
