Server 2012R2 VMware Guest Customization (Sysprep) not starting

After deploying a Server-R2 from a template, the VMware guest customization (Sysprep) fails to start.


In the events (VSphere Web Client 5.5/vm/monitor/events) of the new deployed VM I found the following error:


"An error occurred while customizing <vm>. Customization log located at C:\Windows\Temp\vmware-imc\ <no Log> in the guest OS. "


Unfortunately there is really no log in the given path ...


As I has used the template several times before, I checked the history of the template. Beside a number of new windows patches The last change is an upgrade of the VMware Tools.


So I decided to uninstall the VMware tools and install them completely new.

After this guest customization is working as expected!
