thanks for the info it very nice. I have a question: i never try but will try to see how it go. according to your setup I wonder on the real world windows template remove the update foler and shrink the disk down it will work….
If you do this in the real world then it’s indeed best to clean up the Base VM/Template as much as possible. But always make sure that you are running a supported VM (if you delete a bunch of system protected folders, it might work perfectly for your VM, but if you ever need Microsoft Support Services they will probably not like it that you messed around in the system folders)…
Sir , I want to Vmware certification .Can you guide me
