Hello Stefan,
Please understand that VMware is not Microsoft product, if you want to use vmware to deploy Windows Server 2016 terminal servers, you’d better ask for help from vmware support.
Go back to sysprep, manually sysprep server 2019 has nothing different with server 2016, normal processes are:
- Installing Windows Server 2019 onto a new server
- Configuring customizations and updates onto your new server
- Running Sysprep to prepare and shut down your master server
- Creating your master image of the drive
- Building new servers using copies of the master image
Or use unattended file - Create unattendfile with Windows System Image Manager.
- Copy your unattendedfile.xml file to the \system32\sysprep folder
- Run CMD as Administrator
- sysprep.exe /generalize /oobe /unattended:yourunattendedfile.xml
Next, you could Add a Custom Script to Windows Setup
