Disable Windows Firewall or setup the services that you want to allow for a finer control (this was just a rough test)
Apply customization to image
Install packages, add users, modify configurations, etc.
Run Windows Update
Run Sysprep:
C:WindowsSystem32sysprep
Convert disk image into qcow2
Sorry to get into Ubuntu.. We need some what. VirtualBox only supports Qcow images, not Qcow2, so well use qemu-img to convert the image to Qcow2 for use with OpenStack. as below
qemu-img convert -f qcow -O qcow2 windows.qcow windows.qcow2
Reboot the VM
Now import the qcow2 image in glance
# glance image-create �name window �is-public=true �disk-format=qcow2 �container-format=bare �file (location of qcow2 image that you want to import into glance ).
