B Guest Operating System Support - VMware VLM3-ENG-CP - Lab Manager - PC User Manual

B
Guest Operating System
Support
Review the guest operating systems supported by Lab Manager. Table B‐1 and Table
B‐2 specify support for 32 and 64‐bit operating systems, uniprocessor ("UP") and
multiprocessor ("MP") operating systems, and the SIDgen and Sysprep components in
LM Tools, a key utility in Lab Manager that various features are dependent on. As
noted in these tables, VMware offers experimental support for certain guest operating
systems.
N Though Lab Manager uses LM Tools on both Windows and Unix‐based guest
OTE
operating systems to configure network settings, these tables address only the
Windows‐specific support for the SIDgen and Sysprep components of LM
Tools. These components change the Security Identifier (SID). For details on all
aspects of LM Tools, see "Installing LM Tools" on page
Tools Tab" on page 147, and "Extending LM Tools" on page 179.
