Extending LM Tools
Installing LM Tools allows Lab Manager to customize the network settings for a virtual
machine made from a template. For general information on LM Tools, see "Installing
LM Tools" on page 61.
In some cases, you might want to extend the customization of LM Tools. Review some
examples:
If you have an application that depends on the SID, you might need to prevent LM
Tools from changing the SID but still allow LM Tools to make other changes.
You want to incorporate some kind of verification in the LM Tools script. For
example, the script could check for viruses or start and stop processes.
Extending LM Tools involves making changes to each template.

Extending LM Tools is different from building a custom LM Tools ISO
OTE
(specifically for Microsoft Sysprep). For information on building a custom ISO,
see "Reviewing the LM Tools Tab" on page 147.
