Gingerly treading along

Solved an issue haunting some of the VMs with sysprep.   If VMWare is complaining about duplicate MAC addresses you just might have a UUID conflict instead.  I might have time to generate an answer file that would smooth the process but there's a lot going on as it is. 

Rather than continue to push the current host holding the build VMs with my tinkering I've started instead powering up a VM to use as an upgrade template on my own workstation (since it already had VMWare installed).  It's just an older i3 with 4GB of RAM so I don't know that it'll actually be much faster but it'll at least be isolated from the build server.
